I am getting an unreadable files error.

I have already tried to create a new library and it still does the same thing. I have never had this problem with my camera before so I don't know what's wrong. I'm using iPhoto '08

When do you get the error? Importing ? From what camera?

  • Unreadable Files Error when Importing

    Hi - I get an "unreadable files" error when trying to import from my iPhoto Library folder. I've read the other postings, and it sounds as though I should not have moved files directly into this folder. If that's the case, can someone please tell me how to move iPhoto Library files from an external HD onto my computers HD so that I can access the files in iPhoto? What I did was move pictures from my external HD "Pictures,iPhoto Libray, Originals" into the the same folder on my computer's HD - Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    import from my iPhoto Library folder
    That's the reason. iPhoto will not import any file that resides anywhere inside the iPhoto Library folder. Move them to the Desktop and import from there.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Unreadable file error when downloading from Iphone

    I recently updated my Macbook Pro to Mountain Lion OS and iPhoto 11.  Now when I try to import any video or pics I get the "unreadable file" error.  I think it may have to with my system preferences or something because when I try to back up my phone on iTunes it says not enough disk space when my hard drive says there is 200gb free.  Anybody have any idea where I should start?  Go easy on my this is my first post.

    Actually if the files download on her husbands computer then the problem is unlikely to do with either the files or Blackboard
    Blackboard inc would be the wrong contact as they are simply the company that sell the software - the people to contact would be the support people at the institution hosting the blackboard installation who look after all the configuration of the servers - however if they download fine for some users for some then  it is unlikely to be a blackboard issue.
    The most likely cuprit is the internet connection which is probably timing out before the download finishes - the other possiblity is that something running on your computer i momentarily breaking the connection with a loss of data.
    Normally if you have the adobe browser plugin for IE the file will actually open in the reader in the browser but this doesnt always work in other browsers.

  • Since the new downlaod, I can't import photos from my Kodak C813. I get an "unreadable file" message. What to do?

    Since the new Photo download, I can't import photos from my Kodak C813. I get an "unreadable file" message. What to do?

    See if Image Capture will let you upload the photos from the camera to a folder on the Desktop.  If it will then check the photos by opening them up with Preview to make sure all of them are good.  Then import the folder into Photos.
    If that goes OK reformat the memory card in the camera, take some test shots and see if Photo will import.

  • All of a sudden I am getting an "unreadable files" message when trying to import photos to iphoto, how do I fix

    Why am I all of a sudden getting an unreadable file message when trying to import photos to iphoto from the card in my Nikon camera?  I have done this many times before with no problem.

    Can you access the files from Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)?
    Have you tried a USB Card Reader?
    Have you tried reformatting the card with the Camera?

  • Error "get disk space file error" to install patch p158 to FM 7.2

    I have Adobe FM 7.2 with the Patch B144 on Windows 7 x64 and when I try to install the new patch AdobeFrameMaker7_2p158Patcher.exe I get the error "get disk space file error" and the window freeze.

    > I have Adobe FM 7.2 with the Patch B144 on Windows 7 x64 and ...
    I'm surprised that FM7 even runs native in Win7. I would expect various random problems during FM ops, and a complete inability to reliably use the Acrobat/Distiller5 that came with FM7 (although a later version of Acrobat/Distiller, separately installed, might work, esp. if using a Print-to-Ps-and-Distill workflow).
    You need to install FM7 inside a virtual machine. There are several solutions (e.g. Virtual Box) for that, some of which require that the CPU have hardware virtualization. Most AMD chips do. It's often fused-off, however, on low end Intel chips (just because you didn't pay enough).
    I've built a Win7 Pro64 PC, and run FM7 in XP Mode (a virtual machine that is a complete instance of Windows XP/32, and not to be confused with Compatibility Mode). XP Mode is a free download from Microsoft, still available, but only for Windows 7 Enterprise, Professional and Ultimate (not Basic, Home or not-so-Premium). Note: XPM is not supported on Windows 8, 8.1 or 10. You'll need a 3rd-party VM for that (and you'll probably have to install your own copy of XP in any 3rd party VM).
    If your chip is AMD, there's a hotfix patch (KB 2519949 as I recall) you need to install before you do anything else about XPM. This patch is not included in any of the 200+ Windows Updates that a virtualized XP wants you to install, in several waves (yes, this takes a while).
    And from a related discussion:
    >> Microsoft no longer support WinXP, does it a risk to use it?
    After you install XP in the VM, and apply all 200+ Windows Updates, and install the apps you need:
    disable the VM's networking capability*
    or at the very least never use a browser inside the VM
    if possible, let the AV software in the host OS access the VM's virtual drive
    MS is going to EOL Windows 7 in 2015Q2 as well.
    * For some apps, the networking would need to be on periodically for license validation.

  • Iphoto unreadable file error

    I have iphoto on my mac and I recently imported some new photos. When I try and access the photos through iphoto my iphoto reads "FINISHING IMPORT" then an error pops up saying "UNREADABLE FILES: THE FOLLOWING FILE COULD NOT BE IMPORTED (THE FILE IS IN THE IPHOTO LIBRARY FOLDER).
    I understand that iphoto cannot import files from the iphoto folder but why can I access the files in iphoto once they are imported. I'm double clicking the photos that usually full screens the image and now im getting that import error. Please help! Thanks

    not sure to understand your concern.
    This error message usually occurs when trying to import non image files (or image files not recognised by iPhoto or corrupetd files). The error message in that case is accompanied with a list of files which could not be imported.
    I am getting confused when you say that you want to import files that are located in iPhoto folder. If they are already there, you don't need to import them...
    Never put manually pics in the iPhoto folder directly.
    If not answered, please clarify your question.

  • Received a pdf by email, when i attempt to open it, I get the message "File Error-couldn't open the file", is there some way I can open it? Thanks, Graham

    Hi,
    Received a pdf by email. When I attempt to open it, I receive the message, "File Error- Couldn't open the file", is there any way I can open it?
    Thanks,

    Are you using Adobe Reader or Preview to view the file? Can you get the sender to resend the file?
     Cheers, Tom

  • I am trying to download photos to mac from iphone 4s and keep getting message (unreadable files:315) which I say (OK).  Then it throws me out of downloading.  What can I do to get my photos downloaded to Mac?

    Trying to download photos from iphone 4S to a MacBook Pro.  The process keeps getting interrupted/stopped with a notice (unreadable files:315).  When I click (OK), thinking it will download all other photos other than the 315, it stops downloading.  I did this thru Image Capture and also Import Photos in iPhotos.  Both did not work.  What can I do?

    Try:
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another USB port
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    If still problem then it appears the photo files on the iPod are corrupted or you have a hardware problem with the iPod

  • Unreadable Files error message

    I am trying to import photos from a Sony DSC-N1 camera that i have done numerous times since getting my macbook. I am getting an error that says the files are unreadable and can not be imported and they are all in the jpg format. I have never had this issue before. please help! thank you

    1 photo uploaded via the preview option you suggested but it looks like the other picture files were corrupted from not removing the camera correctly from the computer (maybe?). However, i can see them on the camera and the iphoto screen, but not on the preview screen (only a sliver of each is showing). Any suggestion on how to get them back so they can be uploaded? this might not be a question for this forum, but thought i would ask. thanks for your help

  • Unreadable file error

    I'm trying to add to my iphotos library .jpg files from my pictures directory in finder. however i keep getting the follow error msg:
    The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)
    I've also tried using copy and paste and get the same msg. NB the photos I am trying to bring across were originally imported into my mac from a memory stick rather directly from a camera.
    I can however view JPG files imported directly from a camera.

    I connected my iphone one day and the thing said "no access privileges" or something along those lines. I realized at that point I could not open iphoto. The same thing, no access privileges. I tried a bunch of things to get it to relauch, rebuilding iphoto etc. Sometimes it would load but when I closed iphoto on the next launch I'd get the same problem. I eventually tried to just create a new iphoto library. I was successful and thought I'd just grab the files from the iphoto package contents. Well...none of the 8891 photos I have in my library will import. I get this error:
    *The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)*
    I spent about 6 hours over 2 days trying to get to the bottom of this. I eventually called apple tech support and $49 bucks and over an hour later the guy says "at this point we've determined that iphoto is working properly and that it has to do with the content and therefore it is not there problem anymore"! Thanks for the 49 bucks! In their opinion I must have done something to the files so they wont import. Which by the way is total b.s. These files load into any other program fine. Somehow, iphoto f'ed up and these photo's must have some sort of protection embedded in them exclusive to iphoto. What the ****? I'm not an iphoto expert and I've been hung out to dry.
    Anyone else out there ever have this problem. All new photos or I should say any photos not previously loaded into iphoto will load no problem.

  • "Unreadable Files" error r/c when importing JPG

    My computer was recently serviced and now iPhoto "doesn't recognize" my HD photo card filled with JPG files (photos).  My camera settings haven't changed, and I've never had this problem before. 
    HOWEVER, my daughter's same laptop imports them without error.  I suppose I need to change some setting beyond my capabilities. 
    Can anyone please offer some help?
    Thanks, in advance!

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    Other than that, have you considered returning to where it was "serviced" and getting them to "service it better"?

  • Adobe Lightroom 5.7 x64 not loading. Getting MSVCR100.dll file error

    Getting a load error upon trying to start Lightroom 5.7. In the error msg box it's calling for MSVCR100.dll which I downloaded from the adobe solutions area and extracted to the Lightroom 5.7 folder to no avial. Also tried extracting it to the Lightroom 5.2 folder as well and no help there either. Have been using the product successfully for several months and then this happened for no reason?

    Similar issues appear to be listed here: LR5: playing and importing video (e.g. *.mov) not working: DynamicLinkMediaServer not working & here: dynamiclinkmediaserver has encountered an error. message when dealing with any video in LR5, anyone have any suggestions?
    I'm Running LR5.7, with Yosemite 10.10.1. I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling lightroom & checking my admin permissions but am at a total loss.
