Every geotagged pictures imported labelled as Unknown Place

Hi have lately installed iPhoto 8.0 (from iLife '09) and I like it a lot. I already had some of my pictures that were geotagged (the pictures took from my iPhone) but iPhoto does not name the place for them. They all appears as "Lieu sans nom" (or Unknown place in English...I am operating in French).
I did verified in the iPhoto preferences and the "search for place" is set to "automatically". I also tried to export, rename and reimport without success. The pins are correctly positioned but since the place is not named, I cannot use the browse feature (by country, states, etc.).
What I am doing wrong?

I tried to see if there were strange location properties using EXIF Viewer and everything seems fine. There is noting defined in the location. Just plain good latitude & longitudes. Just FYI, you do not need EXIF viewer to verify this. You just have to show the image properties from iPhoto.
One development. The same pictures on another computer gives perfect results. The location are identified correctly and there is no more Unknown location.
I tried to rebuilt my whole library from scratch using iPhoto Library Manager and it gives the same exact result. Again, the same original pictures imported into another computer works perfectly so I don't think that this issue comes from the pictures. Furthermore, to rebuild the library from scratch do not help.
Can you help me?

  • How can I set a name for a unknown place without moving it?

    I imported some photos with GPS information into iPhoto. I can see these photos on the map with one pin per photo, but every pin is tagged with "unknown place". All the photographs were taken on the same island, so I want to add the name of this Island to all pins.
    When I enter the name of the place, iPhoto doesn't know it (it seems like the built-in database is very small), so I have to go to the Google view. There I find the Island and can create a new place, but when I confirm it all photos will move to one pin which was defined in google - the original location is lost (and there is no undo function!!!).
    Questions:
    1. How can I assign a name to a pin without moving the pin?
    2. How can I restore the original place stored in the exif-information of the file?
    Thanks a lot,
    Jürgen

    Thanks for your answer, after playing around another while I understand that using GPS-data or Places are two things which cannot be used together in a reasonable way.
    Either I use the GPS pins, then they are at the right place, but then I just have the pins on the map without any names or grouping information.
    Or I create places - I can create one place per photo, but then I would have to manage around 10.000 places in a simple list view. So if I go on a city trip and take 100 photographs with GPS, then I either have to create 100 places, just to see the name of the city above the pin, or i have to group them to one single pin in the middle of the city. I think both doesn't make sense.
    Let's hope there are some improvements in upcoming versions.
    BTW: To go back to the original GPS-location is very easy. Just remove the assigned place by clicking on the 'x', then the GPS-location is used again immediately.

    I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes  The app continually crashes during the picture import.  AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos.  The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes.  I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone.  I have 10Gb free.  I have 6600 photoes.  This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products.  My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also.  It does the exact same thing to it.  The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process.  But it will import every photo a few at a time.  The error message is just that itunes has stopped working.  no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time.  You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is.  I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities.  Ultimately they were of no use.  I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

    I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)
    it said this

    basically whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4G 64GB it crashes iTunes when it begins the pictures. if im lucky ill get 4-5 on there before it stops responding. its not my system or anything im running win7x64 8GB DDR3 ram (Corsair XMS3) AMD FX Eight core processor.
    It is silly that iTunes cannot add pictures to apple devices. it shatters whatever incline I may have to buy apple products. knda like the Airport Extreem router my dad bought the new firmware, caused my router to not function... why release firmware that breaks a product. -_- <-- off topic but still

    Yes but iPhoto can import directly via Photo Stream.

  • Picture Import - "Pages" freezes

    Hey Dudes,
    I'm a 18- years old student from Germany.
    Yesterday i bought iWork 06 in order to layout the "Good-bye - Magazine" of my class (We'll have our A- levels next year).
    I read the instructions,... ok.. let's say mostly.
    I've been trying to create my own template for a few hours now.
    After having the same problem a hundred times, I decided to ask you for help.
    My problem.
    Each an every time i import a picture via drag 'n drop "Pages" freezes after a fey seconds. Sometimes I have the time to change the size but then: boom, it happens again. That's very annoying and i can't go on like this! You see, there's just one page open and the application freezes because of the first picture I'd like to import in my document. That's unbelievable!
    My Computer is definetly not too old for Pages!
    I'm working on a iBook G4, 1,2GHz with 768MB RAM. That should be enough for running pages!
    Does anyone have a hint or something- I don't know what to do. I tried it about 10 times- every time Pages freezes and I have to force it to quit!
    Thank you for your help!
    Greeting from snowy Germany!

    Gerry- You are 'da man!
    I was trying to describe the same thing in my post but you clarified it and added info I was not aware of.
    Placeholders may be the answer to my frustration in my other post. I create music programs, the music changing all the time. With placeholders I could set all the parameters the way I want them and then just drag in the new clips. In addition, your idea for saving object preferences would also help this user. Since the post was rather long here is your answer to me copied out:
    <hr>
    Word wrap is not a preference for the Pages program. It is, however, a preference for each template.
    Design the template you use for your projects. Within this template, set how you want the inserted graphics to behave for both styles of placed graphics. Fixed to Page and Moves with Text. Yes, you can save two different preferences.
    With each graphic selected separately use Format - Advanced - Define default Shape Style.
    Do this for placed images as well using Format - Advanced - Define default Shape Style, making sure you set it up for Fixed to Page and Moves with Text.
    These are defaults for how graphics will behave in different formats. Save your project and the way you want things to behave as a separate template and whenever you open that template things will behave the way you expect them to.
    I can hazard a guess as to why this was done. For some templates you will want images, shapes and other elements to behave in different ways. You may expect them to behave differently for other templates. This gives you more control as a designerr of templates as to how the graphics will behave.

  • Picture import not working in PSE 7/8 and windows 7

    Hello
    I just updated to win 7 (64 bit) and now I can't get the picture import from my camera working correctly with PSE7. When I plug it in windows ask me how I like to import them and I chose elements but nothing happens. I had no problem with this in Vista before. I have tried the trial version of PSE 8 but I have the same problem with that. The only way I can import my pictures is by starting organizer and select import from there.
    Thanks for any help!

    On 64-bit Vista and XP, you can't use the Adobe Photo Downloader with Windows Autoplay:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402507.html
    It's likely that 64-bit Windows 7 has the same restrictions.  A workaround is to download Windows Live Photo Gallery and use its downloader, which is pretty good.  Then in PSE, use File > Watch Folders to automatically import photos from the folder hierarchy where you're downloading the photos.

  • Why does get-attachment 1aspx appear on pictures imported from Iphoto

    Pictures imported from Iphoto  into Imovie not as clear as originals. There is a note with each picture ...get-attachment 1aspx. Could this be the reason? What does this message mean?

    iPhoto shows you the image at full resolution. If the image is tiny then it's tiny.
    You can magnify an image by 300%. In edit mode hold the option key and tap the 2 or 3 button.

  • Geotagging - how can I edit new places that I have previously created but with typos, errors etc?  How do I delete a place I have set up?

    Geotagging - how can I edit new places that I have previously created but with typos, errors etc?  How do I delete a place I have set up?  Then I could create a new, correct entry.  I'm using iPhoto '09.

    Is it OK to reply to my own question?? Thanks to the related posts that appeared AFTER I'd made the post above, I learnt about the 'Manage my places' item under the Windows menu. I felt a bit dumb not knowing this.
    BUT it doesn't completely resolve the issue.  The info shown in the EXIF (using opt-cmd-I) under Places has the place name I choose, but it is followed by a few other lines that are incorrect and do not seem to be anything to do with any data I can see under 'Manage my places'.
    Can anyone explain where these other entries might come from, and how to edit them?

  • How do I take pictures off my nano and place them on my computer?

    How do I take pictures off my nano and place them on my computer?
    I open the drive... and there are 4 folders, contacts, calendar, notes and photos (in photos there is a folder called thumbs and a file called photo database) Not to mention my music is nowhere to be found on the drive...
    Is it even possible to take photos and songs off a ipod and place them on a computer?

    If you only copied the photos as thumbnails (and it seems you did), you can't do this by enabling disk use and dragging the photos from iPod to computer so you'll need a program such as this one.
    CopyPod Photo
    Photos as thumbnails won't be of the original quality when copied back to your computer.
