HT204655 My photos won't import into Word for Mac after OS X upgrade

After upgrading to the new OS X Yosemite does anyone know how to import photos into Word or Excel for Mac? That library is now grayed out for me and I am in mid-project on Word. I used to be able to copy and paste right into my document, now it seems I must exclusively work within the Photos program.

I actually found that the issue started for me after the MS Office update last week. It was originally working fine with the new Photos for Mac App until the MS Office update. Now Word can't find the photo browser, it only shows Photo Booth. I also can't drag drop photos from the Mac App into Word, like I used to be able to. At the moment I export the photos to a directory then I can input from file in Word. That works, but it's a bit untidy.
I'm thinking off trying the Office 2016 for Mac, which are available now as demos. Unfortunately Microsoft don't reply to questions that are raised, so I'm not sure what the underlying issue is with photo's not working.

Hi! My magic mouse won't scroll in word for mac - but it scrolls in safari and outlook. So frustrating!

I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite and am using Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.4.5. My magic mouse no longer scrolls in word - though I can click on things with the magic mouse. And the magic mouse scrolls in safari and outlook. Any thoughts?

I had the same problem. I just quit Word and restarted and it worked. I tried with a new document just to try it at first and when that worked, I tried it on the document I was working on and it was fixed!

Exactly what "app" did your teacher give you?

Certain photos won't import into iPhoto?

Today I tried to import all of my photos from the past few months into iPhoto from my iPhone 5s. But what I discovered is that all of my pictures from February 21st until May 9th won't import or won't appear in my iPhoto library, but they are obviously still on my phone. All of my pictures from May 9th until now imported, but it's just within that specific time frame that none of those pictures will import and I have absolutely no idea why. I tried rebooting my computer and phone, force quitting iPhoto, selecting only the photos that won't import and trying to import those individually, but nothing is working. Please help, I'm really upset and frustrated.

Certain photos won't import into catalog...

When I attempted to import about 650 photos from an 8GB CF card, the last 100 photos failed to import. I received a catalog error and LR was forced to restart. However, even after the catalog was fixed and I resumed the importing process, the same 100-photo segment failed to import without a catalog error.
I then decided to create a new catalog and import the photos here (while copying the RAWs to my computer). This worked. I tested the new catalog for integrity and usability, and it was fine. However, when I tried to merge the new catalog with my main catalog, I received the same catalog error.
I'm not sure what the issue it. I'm guessing that it might have something to do with an issue with copying the RAWs to directory in my main catalog, but I'm not sure. This still makes no sense to me. At the moment, I'm working on those 100 photos separately with no problems, but would really like to incorporate them into my main catalog for archival purposes.

Is your catalog 2GB and on a FAT32 volume, where 2GB is the maximum file-size?
Can you import anything else into this catalog, such as JPGs or other new test RAWs?

Users of Word for Mac: Help on Two Issues!!

I downloaded some fonts I wanted to use in my Word for Mac document. Download went fine and the fonts are happily nestled in the Fonts folder. However, when I open Word, they do not appear on the Font listing. Any thoughts as to how to get them over so I can use them?
Also, I wanted to use the Fonts to create a logo that--ideally--would be a half circle of text over the design. Simple enough, I thought: just go into Toolbox and pull down the styles (like you can in Windows) and choose the style I want.
No such luck (we are dealing with a Mac here so everything is special) but suddenly a "special styles" toolbox appeared with exactly what I wanted--the ability to format a font to a 180' half circle, mirror image text and some other stuff that seemed interesting!
When I went back to the document to format the text the "special styles" toolbox disappeared, never to be found again. Sigh...
Any ideas? Oh, yes, there is a 180' in "Word Art" but I can't get the downloaded fonts into there, so that isn't really a solution.

Okay, here are the details: Word for Mac 2008 Ver. 12.2.8
Yes, I did post to the MS Forums.
Still no answer from either MS or MAC forums.
Sorry, but this doesn't strike me at that tough a question, hence the *****. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who uses Word for Mac and I'm equally sure I'm not the first one to download a font that didn't load into Word for Mac. The answer is out there somewhere....

I have 1000 photos in an iPhoto Library that won't import into Photos because it says the metadata can't be read. Yet those JPG files open just fine in iPhoto, GraphicConverter, et al. What gives?

It’s part of the basic install of OS X. So unless you deleted it then it’s there in your apps folder. If you have deleted it, it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. You will be able to extract the installation package using Pacifist.
Alternatively, if you’re using almost any camera +apart from a Canon+ then the camera card is visible on the desktop and you can drag the movie to the desktop using the Finder and import from there.
No matter what camera you use, if you pop the card from it into a USB Card Reader then it will be accessible via the Finder. Card Readers are inexpensive and all round a better idea.
Why use a Card Reader?
Because it’s safer: Less risk of your images being lost if your camera shuts down during transfer.
Because it saves the battery on your camera
Because it saves wear and tear on your camera ports
Because it’s almost always faster.

Photos won't import images from my Canon camera. When connected, program sees the images, tells me it will import the new ones, then freezes once import starts, not allowing any other operation to happen. MacbookPro 15" 2012, OSX Yosemite 10.10.3.

Solution discovered. Faulty connector cable. Tried a different one and it worked.

Photos recently changed from sequential numbering to date/timestamp. When I import into apps for editing they are out of order. What can be done to change back to sequential numbering instead of date/timestamp?

The date information is taken from the camera which writes it to the file. This needs to be set to the correct date and time in the camera itself.
The order the images are shown in the Library mode is set by clicking on the sort button in the tool bar, which if not showing can be activated from view, tool bar. There are different sort orders that can be applied including sorting by file name. You can also sort by dragging the images to the order you wish them to appear in by selecting user order.

I cannot import music I bought from another site into iTunes. The files are there but they won't import into Itunes. How can I fix this? Thanks!

What format are they in?
What happens when you try?
Have you tried placing a copy in the Automatically add to iTunes folder?

After effects animation Codec won't import into FCP

Hi
I have used After Effects to do a green screen key on some HD 1080i footage.
I then went to export - quicktime movie - animation
I understand that the animation codec is the only way to export with an alpha channel so that I can put other footage in after my nice green screen key.
I set quality to best and frame rate to 25, I also tried frame rate as current and it exports and plays back fine in quicktime movie player, but won't import into final Cut.
The error message is "wrong frame rate"
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am quite new to after effects and wonder if there is something wrong with the way it is seeing the footage as I shot in widescreen and the image is squeezed as for a 4:3 TV aspect ratio.
Thanks.
Ajay

1. Check your AE composition settings (cmd-k) and be sure your frame rate is set to 25... AE uses the frane rate of your composition and not the settings in your export module...
2. Do not use the "export" command in AE... that is used only for special purposes only (i.e. for using "quicktime exporto compnents" not available under the export queue)...
3. use the "make movie" or "add to export queue" command instead
4. You expot module should be set as:
- best settings
- animation + alpha
do not specify any frame rate in the export module!! AE automatically uses the frame rate in your composition settings!!
5. Export and import into fcp...
I never had problems with AE animation+alpha and fcp 6.0.1

M4p's (iTunes) won't import into Logic

The music supervisor for a film I'm working on suggested that I download some specific tracks from iTunes and lay them up against picture (as temp only) to give me an idea of the the mood he wants for various scenes. But wouldn't ya know, iTunes files are .m4p's and won't import into Logic. Or will they? Am I missing something?
(And BTW, using the "Convert Selection to WAV" in iTunes doesn't work for m4p files -- an error message comes up saying "_____ cannot be converted because protected files cannot be converted to other formats.")

hello...
I've had success importing 2 ways;
right click/ctrl-click song in iTunes:convert to mP3; import
the best solution has been to create an audio track and import directly into the track. The 'import' on the main menu does not seem to import what the audio track will import. I ran into this same issue for a while until I tried the second option and had no problem.
Also...burn the track onto an audio cd then import the audio track from the cd (no longer an mp4a)

Videos won't import into iTunes 7

I want to put some of my own videos onto my new iPod video, but I can't put any videos into iTunes. I've tried dragging and dropping, "import" and "add file". And nothign ever shows up. How am I suppossed to put video into itunes that I don't buy from the iTunes store? Thanks for the help.

This also happens with me. I have an Intel Core Duo 17", running iTunes 7.1 with the latest Quicktime, and OS 10.4.4. My movies work great in Quicktime, but won't import into iTunes at all. When I try to drop them on my iPod directly, it tells me that my 5th gen iPod can't display video.
I brought my iPod into work today, and hooked it up to the G5/dual 1.8 tower here, also running iTunes 7, and quicktime (7.1.3 I think?), OS 10.3.9. I was able to drop the videos directly into iTunes, and they showed up fine. I was also able to then put the video on my iPod.
As for the video, I converted them to .mp4 files with a 3rd party converter from .mpg files.
Interested to see what the solution is. Glad I'm not the only one with this problem!

Any ideas please. I am using Yosemite 10.1.1
Many thanks Jaz Eilles

Sounds like you have a folder with an album named fred inside of it. Folders can only hold other folders, albums, slideshows, etc. but not just photos. So you must be sure to drop the photo directly onto the album titled fred that resides inside that folder otherwise it will create a new album.
So expand the folder so the fred album is visible and drop the new photo onto the album.

Help! Word for mac 2011 won't open files

Hi,
I wasn't able to find a suitable category to place this question under, but hope someone can help all the same.
I have Word for Mac 2011 on my 2011 iMac. In the last couple of days, it has stopped opening files (by double-clicking on them, or by going to File > Open). Instead, I get an error message which reads:
"Document name" uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version
(The message then continues with smaller print, telling me how this is for security reasons but that I should be able to use File > Open to access the file - which I can't).
The only way I have found to open the files is by using File > Open and in the 'Enable' box choosing 'Recover Text from any file'. However, this is pretty unhelpful because I lose the file's logos and formatting.
Note that this problem happens to all files regardless of which version of Word they were created on.
Please help! I really need to access my Word docs...
Thanks in advance.

I am also suddenly having this problem. It seemed to start after I upgraded to Lion. I had Word 2003 until I upgraded to Word 2011 last year, so I don't have 2008 to go back to. The documents it won't open are just blank. They will open with Open Office. This is just so annoying! I thought it was a Lion incompatibility, but you are saying it is a Microsoft problem?
