How do I tell iphoto NOT to load ALL images from camea and iphone, only new images?

I've bee using my MacBook Pro, iphoto and Nikon for many years. I travel alot and take many pictures, and like to keep them on the memory cards as an extra backup. All was going great on a recent trip, until one day, suddenly, when I plug camera into computer, iphoto opens (as usual) but it starts downloading ALL of the old images on the memory card instead of just the ones that have not already been imported! It takes forever when you are using a 16GB card!! Is this due to some update I installed? How do I tell iphoto not to do this?! I only want to see images not yet imported, as it used to be. I am using OS X 10.6.8 and iphoto '09 - 8.1.2  And, this same thing is happening with my iphone, and my other camera.

iPhoto does read all images (how else can it know if it has already imported them or not) and then gives your oppertunity to import new, all or selected
Yes it does take a bit to get all images and see what needs to be imported - I use 32 GB cards - and the other issue is that if you delete impoprted photos next time you use the card the deleted ones will be in the new list so you have to select the rest and import selected - I've found no solution to this

  • Iphoto 11 is not recognizing jpeg files downloaded from camera and card reader. Nor will it allow me to transfer from image capture

    iphoto 11 is not recognizing jpeg files from either the camera and card reader. Canon Eos rebel dig. Nor will it allow me to transfer images from image capture to iphoto. No problem downloading to image capture.

    Sounds like a damaged card.  Get your photos off the card with Image Capture and then reformat the card in the camera.  Take some pictures and see if the card is recognized by iPhoto and the card reader.

  • How to transfer from iPad and iPhone to new iMac

    I just purchased a new iMac, my iPhone will not sync or does not display in iTunes. Can I transfer songs, media and photos from my iPad, iPhone and iPod to my new Mac? Also, on my crashed computer (with no back up drive) has all my iTunes purchases, how do I retrieve them again from iTunes?
    Elizabeth Eggert

    Elizabeth,
    on your new iMac start iTunes and log in to the iTunes Store (Store menu) using the same Apple ID as on the broken old Mac.
    Then authorize this new Mac and select the iTunes Store. On the righthand side, you should see a section labelled Music or similar and below that a link to your purchased items. Clicking that link sends you to a list of all items purchased with your Apple ID.
    Good luck, Andreas

  • How to delete lock screen photo image from camera while retaining the default images?

    Hi,
    I've recently took a picture using my camera and set it as a lock screen photo. However, I can't delete the custom lock screen photo after deleting my camera picture on my laptop. I would not know what will happen if I were to reset my entire system as I
    have two separate accounts; one of the accounts is not a Microsoft account. If i were to reset my computer system, some of the applications might not be there as the laptop had a custom setting when I bought it.
    How do I delete the cached photo in my computer?(The one without a Microsoft account)

    Hi,
    Do we have any backup available?
    If yes, we may consider to use system restore point to return to a state that could be able to change/delete the lock screen picture.
    Best regards

  • How I calculate the flv file size whe I recording from camera and microphone?

    Hi all:
    I'm recording video from my webcam and my microphone.
    I would like to know how I can to determinate via some formula, approximately, the result file size due to camera and microphone configuration.
    I show you my actual configuration:
         // setup cam
        cam = Camera.get();
        // setting dimensions and framerate
        cam.setMode(320, 240, 30);
        // set to minimum of 70% quality
        cam.setQuality(0,70);
        // setup mic
        mic = Microphone.get();
        mic.setRate(22);
    Only ohert question:
    What enconders are using to encoder video and audio by default?
    Regards, Roberto.

    I'd say 9.4 mb is correct. Email attachments always put on a lot of weight, so 12 mb as an attachment is probably right too.
    Why don't you use a free service like Filemail? It's very easy to use, and you dont't have to sign up to use it.

  • How can I tell LR not to automatically import pictures after editing and saving?

    Whenever I open a RAW file from LR into Photoshop and save it within Photoshop as a tiff or whatever, it gets automatically imported to the LR catalog. Is there a way to avoid this?

    klsteven wrote:
    Jim,
    I know that it`s not a raw as soon as it`s in PS. That`s why I open it as smart object.
    One more question: In the preferences there is an option "stack with original". I would expect the tiff or psd to be in a stack with the raw file. But it doesn`t get stacked with it. So what is the option supposed to do?
    It does stack with the original on my computer. Opening the raw image in Photoshop as a smart object does allow you to go back to the raw file in Camera Raw. And it adjusts the raw file. But when you close Camera Raw you are back working on the image in Photoshop. All the work you do in Photoshop is saved in the TIF or PSD. If you then go back to Lightroom and delete that TIF or PSD file you have thrown away all the adjustments done in Photoshop. Of course the raw file will be impacted by the adjustments that you made in Camera Raw, and it affected the TIF or PSD. But you're still throwing away all the Photoshop work.

  • How do I tell iTunes not to install on sync apps that I downloaded?

    I upgraded my SSD on my Mac and I thought I'd download all my apps so they were backed up on my computer. However, now iTunes tries to install them all on my iPhone whenever I try to sync it. I don't have nearly enough space on my iPhone so I always get a bunch of "ghost" apps and an error message that my iPhone is out of space every time I sync. How do I tell iTunes not to attempt to install these on my iPhone on sync? The only options to choose from are "Install" and "Will Install".
    Thanks.
    I have OS X 10.9.3, iTunes 11.2.2 (3), and iOS 7.1.1.

    The easiest way is to simply remove the previous apps from your account, then sync all your apps. You can remove unwanted apps via iTunes. If you want a step by step instructions go to: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-delete-unwanted-ios-apps-from-itunes/

  • How do i delete images from camera after importing

    how do i delete images from camera, ipad, iphone after importing the files into aperture3?

    Image capture will allow you to delete from the device after import, but I believe it is by design that Aperture does not do this as it is recommended (in the case of a camera) to use a device's own delete function rather than a 3rd party like Aperture. This also allows time for a proper backup before everything is erased from the device?

  • How do i tell iphoto [in faces] that i dont know a person or it isn't a face at all

    how do i tell iphoto [in faces] that i dont know a person or it isn't a face at all?
    I'm using iphoto 11. Identifying all the faces in my pics.  It keeps suggesting the same pics for lots of people.  I dont know the people in these faces but I cant find a 'i dont know who this face is option to clear them out of the list of waiting to be identified.  Also some of these are people at all but odd bits of tree and such like [also faces from posters screens ...] but there seems to be no 'this is not a face option'.  I havent yet looked on the actual photo but with a library of 10,000 ish photos i dont even know how to find the photos with these particular faces in them.

    thanks

    Hi,
    For a cloud service, though it is possible to access instance VMs and do changes on their file system by RDP sessions, but it is not recommended, as you will end up loosing your changes if role instance VMs are restarted.
    If you really want to keep certain settings configurable and which will be shared by all your role instances, best way to do is to utilise the cloud service configurations, typically you mention these settings in .cscfg file and you can also edit those using
    azure management portal.
    You can also access those from your code 
    string settingValue = CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("SettingString");
    Read more about it here - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee405486.aspx

  • How do I tell Lightroom not to boot automatically?

    When I load photos from my camera to my computer, Lightroom boots automatically and interferes with my loading. How do I tell Lightroom not to boot automatically under any circumstances? I cannot find that option in any menu.

    Do one or more of the following solutions:
    Solution 1: Turn off the Adobe Photo Downloader start-up item.
    1. Right-click the Adobe Photo Downloader located on the far right of the Windows Task Bar.
    2. Choose Exit.
    Note: This turns off the Photo Downloader for your current Windows session, only.
    Solution 2: Turn off the Adobe Photo Downloader permanently.
    1. Choose Start > Run, and type in msconfig. Click OK.
    2. Choose the Startup tab.
    3. Uncheck apdproxy. Click Apply, and then click OK. Restart Windows.

  • HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

    trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
    if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
    is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
    also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
    many thanks for your help.

    Photos are added to book in chronological order.  So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
    1 - select all the photos in the album.
    2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
    3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
    4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
    5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

  • How do I tell Leopard NOT to connect to a particular local drive?

    How do I tell Leopard NOT to connect to a particular local drive?

    I don't want my Leopard computer to automatically connect as guest to the Tiger computer.
    Leopard does not automatically connect to it. If it shows in the sidebar you are not connected to it. The sidebar is just showing what computers on the network are available to connect to. To connect to it you still have to click on the connect button.
    To stop it showing the sidebar you have to turn off file sharing on that mac.

  • I want to upgrade iOS from 5 to 6, but when I go to synch everything in preparation, it tells me I will lose all my stuff on the iPhone and iPad which is unique.  How can I backup or do a "real synch" (both sides have same data) and then upgrade?

    I want to upgrade iOS from 5 to 6, but when I go to synch everything in preparation, it tells me I will lose all my stuff on the iPhone and iPad which is/are  unique.  How can I backup or do a "real synch" (both sides have same data at end of process) and then upgrade?

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date.  Next, I did a sync with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence.  Any idea how to put the photos back into date files?

    I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date.  I later sync my ipad with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence.  Any idea how to put the photos back into date files other than reloading all of them from camera?

    What version of iPhoto?
    Select one and rotate it. Then rotate it back. Does that make it appear? 
    A much better work flow is the keep the photos after importing.  Check the success the import, wait for at least one successful backup cycle then use you camera's format command to reformat the card
