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?

Can't import .mov files from my camera into iPhoto

I am not able to import .mov files from my kodak camera into iPhoto. It says the file is not readable. Also, if there are any photos after the video file, those are said to be unreadable too, even if I select just the photots for import. I tried to import the .mov file with image capture as well, and that gave me an import error also. I can view the file fine on my camera and iPhoto and image capture both will give me the properties of the video file but will not import. I have imported .miv files before with no trouble. I have tried several different files with the same results. Even tried different memory cards. Not sure how to get this file on my computer or why there is a problem all of the sudden.
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
What model of Kodak is it?
There is a discussion thread on this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11942367&#11942367
Try using a media card reader (sometimes built into printers) to see if that allows the import. Others seem to report having luck by importing the movies off the card using a different computer, deleting them, and then importing the pictures.
Hope that helps.

When i try to import my pictures from my camera i get an error saying unreadable files. What do i do to import them?

First launch Image Capture, located in the Applications folder, and see if you can upload the phiotos to a folder on the Desktop. If you can then import the folder into iPhoto.
Then reformat the memory card using the camera's format option, take a few test photos and try importing into iPhoto again.

HT4236 as per my earlier question about deleting duplicate pictures from my Ipad- You asked how they were imported- I imported my pictures from my camera to my MacBook and then synched. suggestions have not worked to remove pics. hopefully something will

In response to all of your responses. I imported my pictures from my camera- that worked fine. I tend to use Iphoto.
Then I synched my MacBook and Ipad 2, that worked fine except when I synched my Ipad for it's normal 2 week synching it copied the pictures again. Now I want to get rid of the duplicates/triplicates- my albums were also broken up and need to be reorganized. I have tried all of your suggestions - thank you-
have gone to the Apple store with no success.
highlighting the pictures and then hitting delete does not work.
Trying to delete them thru my Mac does not work
highlighting and then going to edit does not have a delete
Did not find Image Capture in apps.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

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.

I have an Olympus E620 and have bought an IPad 4th Generation. How can I transfer my pictures from the camera to the IPad?. My camera does not take SD cards.

I have an Olymput E620 and iPad 4th generation, how can I download the pictures off the camera to the iPad?
The only cable I can find with lightning and usb is the apple camera adaptor but it is £25 from Apple which is a bit expensive if it will not work. Some peoples reviews seem to say this will not work, I can not use the camera reader by Apple as this only takes SD cards and my camera takes XD and compact flash cards. I have realised that you cannot use this cable on a card reader which is a shame and means taking more cables on holiday with you and more likely to get lost. This is so frustrating as one of the reasons of buying the iPad was to use, to transport photos whilst away instead of having lots of cards which do get lost and damaged. I hope someone can help as there seems to be a lot of confusion as to what works in cases like this.

go to start - computer - right click on ipod and import pics.
Peace, Clyde

I imported some pictures from my cameras memory card to iPhoto and now i want to transfer them back to memory card

I just got my iMac and I just wanted to copy some pictures from my camera's memory card to my computer. turns out 'importing pictures' meant totaly removing the pictures from my memory card. How can I transfer the pictures back to my memory card?
More info:
I used Dynex Compact Memory Card Reader and put my memory card in it to connect to the usb plug
I have a Canon Camera
I am using iPhoto

Hi.
FYI and future reference, importing pictures does not have to mean removing them from the memory card or camera.
When you plug in a memory card and open iPhoto to import your pictures, there will be a dialog box that opens and asks if you'd like to "Keep" the imported photos on the card, or delete them.
Apparently you selected the option to delete them.
In any case, in order to move them back to the card, you *should* be able to plug the card into your Dynex reader, after which the card should mount and display on the desktop. Then, open iPhoto and simply drag the photos from there and into the memory card.
You may need to recreate the file and folder structure on the card so the camera can find the files when you wish to view them.
I hope this is helpful.

When I import pictures from my camera into iPhoto, does it import the original photo size?

I've been importing pictures from my camera & my phone into iphoto, but I'm not sure if it's automatically importing it as the original file size and not changing it into a smaller photo... Is there a way I can check this?
Thanks in advance for your help

Yes it imports a byte by byte copy of the photo.
What do you mean by 'size'? Do you mean file size? Or the dimensions of the photo (length by breadth)?
You can compare simply by exporting the original out of iPhoto
File -> Export, and set the kind to Original
For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:

I can't import image files from my camera to Photoshop Elements

My iMac recognizes my camera (a Canon Powershot S100 Digital Elph). I know this because it automatically starts iPhoto and loads the images. The problem is, I am sick and tired of iPhoto, and I want to use Photoshop Elements instead. When I connect the camera to the iMac (via a USB port), I do NOT get a camera icon signifying a new volume or drive on my desktop. So when I open Photoshop 4.0, I can't find the files to import. I could allow the computer to import automatically into the iPhoto library, then manually drag the image files into a different directory for use by PSE, but that seems way too complicated. Why should I have to do that? Please help if you can.
John

I'm using OS X 10.4.11.
Maybe I didn't explain it very well. Let me try again:
I would like to be able to connect my camera to the USB port of the iMac, turn on the camera, and then view the images from the camera memory on the screen using Bridge (the subroutine for file management in Photoshop Elements). I have not been able to do that.
Instead, my iMac immediately displays the camera images by opening iPhoto. There is no option in iPhoto for importing the images to anything other than the iPhoto library. So I have to go find them there, copy them into the directory were I want them, and then erase them from the library (which is a little tricky by itself). Then I can manage them in Elements/Bridge.
I thought when I bought Photoshop Elements that I would be able to open it and then tell it to import the images from my camera, into a directory of my choosing. That would be less error-prone and a lot less work.

Can I delete the pictures from my camera and still have them in my photos?!! Thank you !!

Can I delete the pictures in my camera roll and still have them in my photos?!! Thank you !!

No, you can't. If you have created albums on the iPad and think that there are copies of the photos in those albums, that is not how it works. The albums created on the iPad merely contain pointers to the photos in the camera roll or to any synced photos that you have. If you delete the photos from the camera roll, they will be deleted everywhere and will be gone.

Can you import movie videos from SD camera card

Can you import movie videos (MP4) into an Ipad from an SD camera card on a Lightning cable ... or can you only do this from a laptop via Itunes? In other words, is Itunes the only way to get non-Itune videos to the Ipad? Hope I havent made this sound confusing.

To import the videos must follow a very strict naming convention.
All file names must have 8 characters for a name and be located in a folder named DCIM
for example
DCIM
MOV_5789.mp4
You can't watch the videos off the cart, they must be imported into the iPad. They'll go into the camera roll, when you tap on them it'll open the video app and you can watch from there.

I can't upload my pictures from my camera

My computer doesn't react at all when I try to connect the USB cable from my camera to the computer. I had my camera checked and the cable too and there was no problem using either. There is obviously sth else wrong with the computer.

We are aware of the installation issues people are experiencing with the latest iOS version release, and we are very sorry for the inconvenience it has caused.
We do rigorous testing prior to all releases, but unfortunately an unexpected interoperability issue has occurred with the way our App is getting bundled up for delivery to customers. We are working closely with Apple to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience. Meanwhile, feel free to access Revel via your web browser, Mac, windows 8, Android devices.

Can't import .jpg's from a CD into iPhoto 8

My friend asked me to help her create a slideshow out of 434 jpeg photos she gave me on a CD. When I try to import them, iPhoto 8 accepts only 88 of them. I get the following error message:
Unreadable Files 210
The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).
They were taken by several different cameras but they are all .jpg files. I can view all of the photos on the CD in Finder. What could be the problem? Any ideas for a fix or workaround? Thanks so much ...
Caroline

Caroline:
Try copying them to a folder on the desktop first and then upload from there. That may do it.
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Importing my Pictures from my computer crashes iPhoto every time.

Im not sure what is going on i open import photos and add my pictures then it shuts down my iPhoto PLEASE HELP

If adding a color profile in Preview as Terence describes does allow you to import the photo, then you can add sRGB to all of them with Old Toad's Automator. Download his "Embed sRGB Profile 2" and drop the files onto it. It will work on files inside folders and subfolders, too. Then you should be able to import the photos. Download from Toad's Cellar
