Hi, I can't download my photos from my camera onto iPhoto!

Hi, I can't download my photos from my camera into iPhoto! A few months ago I bought iPhoto 9.1.1 (on it's own from iTunes) and it's been working fine till now. When I plug in the camera (Lumix LX3) the flying pizza starts and eventually I have to turn off the camera and force quit iPhoto. I don't think it can be a camera problem as I have successfully dowloaded same photos from same camera onto my laptop (with older version of iPhoto) and it works perfectly. Please help me - what am I doing wrong? Also, is there a limit to the amount of photos i can keep in iPhoto? I have quite a lot, and wonder if it simply is full up and cannot take any more? Thanks! Mands

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

It's strongly recommended that one maintain a minimum of 10 GB of free space on the boot drive for optimal system and application performance. It sounds like you have way too little free space on your hard drive.

i can't download my photos from my iPhone with the new ios - I don't want to be charged for mobile me - and I want to control what's on what device - can anyone assist me?

import photos using iPhoto on your mac.
plug your phone in, open iphoto if it doesn't open automatically.
your device should open up in iphoto so you can view your pictures. click import all and you can choose to delete from device after import or not.

How can I download my photos from iphoto to the external hard disk? thanks!

How can I download my photos from iphoto to the external hard disk? thanks!

This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk or new Mac:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

There is a fair likelihood of an explanation of this symptom

You may have to research any newer possibilities in trouble-
shooting or resolving issues by use of iPhoto Support page.
Since I don't use iPhoto as a primary editor or storage, the
details on the topic aren't so good. I prefer ToyViewer editor.

•iPhoto Video Tutorials
Hopefully the error is easily corrected.
Good luck & happy computing!

How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

I can longer upload my photos from my camera, after 10.6 update. Unreadable

I used to connect my camera, and iPhoto would open, show the photos in boxes, I would hit Import All, and BAM! It was done! Now, when I connect my camera and iPhoto opens up, the boxes show up with no pictures inside, and if I hit Import All, it goes really fast, but doesn't really import anything. Says, Unreadable Files. But the files are .JPGs. I don't understand! What do I need to do?

Yes that is a toughie. Plug it in to the Mac. Put your camera's card in it.
Crap.
You're welcome.

I have never seen a USB Card Reader. That's why I asked. Remember, despite being consumers with the same computer, we're not all blessed with all the ways of the computer world. Second, the "crap" response was to the fact that I don't want to have to use a stupid card reader to pull my photos from my camera to iPhoto. Never had to do it before, don't want to have to do it that way from here out. My thought was that a Mac just "works." So, when I plug in the USB for my printer, it just works. And when I mount my camera, the pics show up, ask me to import it the way it always has, and imports. Easy. I didn't imagine upgrading to Snow Leopard would cause things like this that no one can help me fix, other than giving me band-aids like puling the pics off with an auxilary device.
It wasn't meant to be smarmy or arrogant, it is a frustrated comment. Another problem happened yesterday by which iPhoto wouldn't even open. Said the disk was locked, and I didn't have access to the library. Wow. And yes, I repaired and verified permissions after I upgraded. I rebooted the computer, came up like a charm.

How can I recover deleted photos from my camera roll?

How can I recover deleted photos from my camera roll and my photo stream?
Please, help me!

I finally got up with a solution.
All you need is the photo file from your last backup.
You can extract this file from your backup by using iBackupbot for itunes. Get this via:
http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm
Once you get this file you extract the photos in form of original database file. The screenshots on the website will help you to know how to extract the files.
Okay so now when you've got the photo file you simply need to SSH into your phone to /private/var/mobile/Library/photo were you'll already see a photo file.
Replace the old photo file that you've extracted from the backup by the one that already exist in.
Don't forget to keep an extra copy of the new photo file if in case you go wrong somewhere.
It worked for me and I hope it works for you too.
Thanks mende1, you were indirectly helpful.

I can't import my picture from my camera to iPhoto '11

I can't import my pictures from my camera to iPhoto '11 please help me!

Can you explain what happens? Do you connect a camera or card reader, drag & drop photos from the Desktop and iPhoto does what?

Hello, I recently uploaded about 250 photos from my phone onto iPhoto. However, when I go to view them, they have already been auto-cropped. It seems I must click "Edit," and then "Crop," and then expand the box to the fullest size. Any suggestions?

@SuperMan
I noticed this as well when navigating through the photo gallery on my iPhone.
If you (and he) are asking about iPhone operation then you are in the wrong place - this is the iPhoto for Mac forum - there are forums for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch as well as iPhoto for IOS -
I do not see any cropping in iPhoto on the Mac for either camera or iPhone photos (I use PhotoStream with auto import to get my iPhone photos to iPhoto on my Mac) - and given the way iPhoto works it is really not possible to have auto-cropping - the only thing that I see even close to that is that when you select edit ==> drop the default crop is slightly smaller than the photo - but unless you accept that nothing is changed and the photo is exactly as imported

My iphone was stolen, how can I download the photos from icloud to my pc?

Hi,
After my iphone got stolen last saturday I've tried to download the photos from the icloud to my pc and it didn't work.
What can I do to gat the photos and my whatsupp backup?

You cannot access Photo Stream from iCloud.com.
Photo Stream is a sync tool, not a backup solution.
You can get the last 30 days of photos from your Photo Stream by installing and signing into iCloud Contol Panel.
To get your Whatsapp and Camera Roll data you will need to restore it from your backup to another iOS device.

Hi Blonde in a jag,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your exact intended usage, but if you are looking to share photos from your Mac to your Windows PC via iCloud, you may want to take a look at the My Photo Stream feature. You may find the information outlined in the following articles helpful:
iCloud: My Photo Stream overview

Can't Download Photos from my Camera into iPhoto

Hi, I've been trying to download my photos from my Casio Exilim camera into iPhoto. Whenever I do, iPhoto shows me that the photos are downloading, but at the end it shows me an error message saying, "Error Downloading Image: iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading the image". I've also tried to access my camera from the desktop, and copy it to another folder, but I had no success with that either.
Thanks.

Have you tried Image capture (in your applications folder)? Have you tried a USB card reader?
It sounds like your card format probably is bad - how long has it been since you formatted it?
Once you get your photos off you should use your camera and format it - and in the future do not have iPhoto erase your photos but use your camera to format the card

Can I delete my photos from my camera roll and they still be in my photo scream and on my computer?

Can I delete all my photos from my camera roll and still have those photos in my photo stream and on my computer? Or if I delete those photos, will they also be deleted from my photo stream and my computer?

Photos deleted out of the camera roll will not delete out of Photostream. However you want to make sure that you save your photos in your photostream somewhere before they are deleted on thier 31st day.

I transferred some photos from my iPhone onto iPhoto and then the remaining, untransferred photos on my iPhone were deleted? Help!

Hi, everyone! I don't know if this question has been answered, but I recently lost my photos on my iPhone.
My iPhone memory was full, so I decided to transfer some of the photos on my iPhone onto iPhoto to clear up some space. (In hindsight, I probably should have transferred all of the photos AND I should have backed up my photos on iTunes regularly). Anyway, after transferring some of the photos, I selected the "delete imported photos" option on iPhoto. After unplugging my iPhone from my laptop, my Camera Roll looked like this:
There were only about 5 photos left and these odd video icons that were inaccessible. I was only able to transfer photos from January to March 2013. I'm missing all of my photos from March to December 2013. I also checked the amount of space I had left on my iPhone, and the amount of free space I have now is a few gigabytes more than I had before the photos went missing, so I'm guessing my photos were deleted.
I tried to look for a solution online, and I didn't really find any threads that talked about this specific problem, but I tried the suggestion of one article (albeit the article wasn't exactly about this problem) to delete these three files from my PhotoData. It made the inaccessible video icons disappear, but my photos are still nowhere to be found.
Does anyone know why this could have happened or how I can retrieve my photos? Has anyone encountered this before and has found a solution? I would really like to retrieve my missing photos. Thank you!

probably a question for the iPhone forum since restoring photos on the iPhone does not involve iPhoto at all
