How do I get iPhoto to recognize my Sony nex 5R

When I connect my Sony Nex 5R to my macbook, and launch iPhoto, iPhoto doesn't recognize camera automatically. What am I doing wrong?

Are you shooting RAW?
I do not see your camera on the list of supported cameras - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US - if it is not supported then shoot JPEG until support is released or use the Sony supplied software to download and convert the images and import the converted images until Apple releases support

How do you get iphoto to recognize that a computer really is connected to the internet? I cannot use places to locate my photos, because the software keeps telling me my computer is not connected. I know the computer is connected.

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. It the problem persists make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If the new library does'nt have that problem then your original library is damaged. Post back if that's the case and we'll go from there.

How do I get iPhoto to recognize a scanned jpeg?

I am trying to scan old photographs from books, and put them into iPhoto. Eventually all the photos will be used in an iMovie project. I am having trouble getting iPhoto to recognize the format of the scanned picture. When I try to import the jpeg file, iPhoto says it cannot recognize the format. Any suggestions?

As a text try this:
go to Toad's Cellar and download the Automator workflow applicaton "Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile".
unzip the application on the Desktop.
drop a copy of one of your scanned photos onto the Automator workflow application.
import the resulting converted image file into iPhoto.
If the above lets you import the image file into your library you can process the remaining files and import them.

After upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto library is gone. It is on my hard drive but how do I get iPhoto to recognize it?

I have a MacBook Pro vintage 2009. I upgraded to Yosemite and although my hard drive still has all my pictures, iPhoto will not recognize and allow them to be displayed. Thus the library is empty..........HELP

You can't upgrade to the most recent version of iPhoto prior to updating to Yosemite, because the most recent version of iPhoto _requires_ Yosemite.
Try going to the Mac App Store and check the "updates" pane and check for updates. Get the latest iPhoto version, and then try again.

How can I get Iphoto to recognize me as a user? I had changed my ccard no. and password

I changed my credit card no. and it took the information in my oneclick order account set up but I cannot purchase the book. It says unable to verify user or errors out.

This is how you set your sync preferences for anything that you want to sync to your iPad. This uses apps as the example but this is the way that you can select all content to sync to your device.
"Click on" in the instructions below means to put a "tick" in the boxes next to the names of the apps in the apps list.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
Click on all of the apps that you want to sync,
Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
You can go into the Music tab, the Photos tab, Movies, books and so on and select all of the content that you want to sync, just like you did here. You can make all of your selections in all of the different tabs in iTunes and then Click on Apply when you are finally ready to sync the device.
You also have the option of turning off auto sync if you like so that you can make the selections or make changes every time that you sync your iPad. Launch iTunes and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box at the bottom - Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Click OK and quit iTunes. Then connect the iPad, launch iTunes and go through the priced up outlined above.
If you prefer to leave auto sync turned on, you can still go back and make the changes as described above, after the iPad auto syncs.
Read the first four support articles (or more if you like) in this Google search for more information about syncing with iTunes.

How do I get iPhoto to recognize password

Mary Doherty

There are no passwords associated with iPhoto - what exactly are you haveing trouble with? E-Mail? If that is is the User Name/Password is set in the iPhoto preferences under the accounts tab - delete the account there and add it again
Or IMHO better yet in the iPhoto preferences set Apple Mail as the e-mail client - it is a much better e-mail client at this time

How can I get iPhoto on my Mac to recognize my new iPhone 6? (iTunes does recognize it!)

I got one of the new iPhone 6s (the smaller version) and it's been working great. I was able to restore an old backup from my 4S and transferred everything over. iTunes recognizes the new phone and I've had no problems bringing files within apps on the phone to the computer like before. HOWEVER, iPhoto doesn't even recognize the phone so I can't import new photos off the phone. How can I get iPhoto to recognize it? I tried searching for the phone as a drive via iPhoto and that didn't work either.

So says my computer. Honestly, I'm not tech-wavy in the least so I just take its word for things.

How do you get Photos to recognize the "old" iPhoto Library on an external drive without it copying it to the internal drive on the computer which is low in HD space?

How do you get Photos to recognize the “old” iPhoto Library on an external drive without it copying it to the internal drive on the computer which is low in HD space?

Launch Photos while holding down the alt/options key.
This will show the Library Chooser panel. Select the library on the external drive. Photos will create a Photos Library on the same drive.
Photos may not be able to open the library, however, if your external drive has an incompatible file system. It needs to be formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and locally mounted, not a remotely mounted volume, as described here: Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture

Iphoto won't recognize my memory card anymore (since a month ish?) but the mac itself does and puts the icon on the desktop. How do I get it to recognize it again?

Iphoto won't recognize my memory card anymore (since a month ish?) but the mac itself does and puts the icon on the desktop. How do I get it to recognize it again?

Thank you so much for responding. I will look for the other disks.
One more question - I initially decided to do this because my Mac kept opening with the date changed to 2008, and I keep having to re - enter my Web key. In addition, it was running much slower. Since I 'cleaned' everything out, I thought all would work perfect. This morning, the date changed to 2008; again AND it again asks for my Web key. Does this mean my Mac has reached it's almost end or could I have a 'bug' on it?
Again, thanks so much for your suggestions.

When I open an event, including flagged items, the photos appear one by one, not as thumbnails, so I can't export more than one phot at a time. How do I get iPhoto to show the thumbnails?

I've tried rebuilding the thumbnail database, but that hasn't helped.

What version of iPhoto and system are you running?
Try moving the Zoom slider at the bottom of the iPhoto window all the way to the left. Does that let more than one photo display in the window?

How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old info

How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old phone. The new phone is my husbands and I don't want to back up my phone info on it. I re connected it hoping it would prompt me with the option again and it doesn't , it just shows up as a back up to my phone. How can I get it to give me that option in the beginning again

First of all, I think the first time you sync an iPod that's formatted for Windows on a Mac, the sync process reformats it for Mac. You can check what it is now by looking for the iPod with Disk Utility. If it's Mac OS Extended, it's formatted for Mac already.
Also, there is no current iPod updater app these days. iTunes handles it through the Restore button. If you are not able to use the latest iTunes because of your Mac, I can understand. The latest version of iTunes should run with 10.3.9 or later, if the hardware can handle it.
You said the battery was low so let it recharge for a while.
You should also reset the iPod. It's part of the 5Rs, which you should go through as the starting point for iPod trouble-shooting.

When I open InDesign files from our design team, the fonts don't show up even though I have them installed on my computer. How do I get it to recognize fonts I have installed?

I use my Adobe programs from the Creative Cloud. When our design agency sends me files, I open them and fonts I have on my computer aren't showing up when I open the file. Everywhere online it says I need to add the fonts to InDesign's font file, but since I'm working out of the Creative Cloud, I don't have that option. How do I get InDesign to recognize these fonts when I'm opening files from our agency?

ID sees fonts installed on your computer and contained in a Document Fonts folder in the same folder as the document, if one exists.
I don't really understand what you are saying about fonts you have installed not showing up. And cloud makes no difference -- all the applications and support files are installed on your hard drive.
