I can't import pictures given to me on a cd into iPhoto because it says...

It says the file is in an unrecognized format.  Does it matter if it says "locked" by each individual IMG number?  Is this why I can't import the photos to iPhoto?
I can view them from the cd, but I want to transfer them to iPhoto to make a memory book...

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?

  • How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

    How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

    Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).

  • Can't import pictures from iphone 5

    I can't import pictures from my iphone 5 even though they are stored on my computer. I get the message "nothing has been imported. The file(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in this catalog."  I've been able to do it until this time.  Any ideas?

    1. make sure phone is not locked (passcode locked) when you connect.
    2. odds are you (or somebody) changed a setting in windows to not pull up that window anymore by default.
    3. after plugging in, go to My Computer and you should see it listed as a camera/scanner. Just go double click it and get into the pictures and copy off manually. Right click it and I think there you can tell Windows how to act when plugged in.

  • Can't import pictures to iPhoto.

    Can't import pictures to iPhoto. It says I already am, but I'm not.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

    The battery alone is a $5 to $15 part.  Hard drives vary in cost, and depending on the iMac, they may or may not be able to install a third party hard drive, or one resold through Apple.    The resold through Apple drives tend to cost more.  This article discusses the varying successes of third party drives on iMacs:

    The labor costs depend on the store as well as the time to get the parts in stock.    Call around.

  • I can't import MXF files shot on a Canon C300 into FCP 10.1.2.  I have the Canon plug in for MXF file to FCP import but FCPX still doesn't recognize MXF files when I try to import. Premiere works fine importing MXF on the same computer.

    Russ and Luis,
    I did uninstall and re-install Canon XF Utility and the Canon FCPX plug in.   Still no luck.  I checked the CanonXF64.RADPlug folder is on my computer in the Rad Plugins folder in application support  This is where it is supposed to be as far as I can figure out. 
    Another piece of the puzzle is that  footage shot on a Canon C300 in 2013 and  I reimported today and it DOES import into FCP10.1.3.   Footage shot on a different Canon C300 filmed this summer will NOT import into FCPX.  The latter will import into Premiere. But I am trying to work in FCPX, but maybe I shouldn’t be??
    Any ideas?  (screen shots below)
    Thanks.
    Peace, Huey
    FYI Here is what Canon says
      "There is another trick that works sometimes though.  Try uninstalling the plugin and XF Utility.  Then, install the latest XF Utility, followed by the plugin, in that order."
    I did do this but no results.  Otherwise they say I need to wait for a new plugin.
    Here's 2014 Canon C300 files does NOT import to FCPX
    Here's 2013 Canon C300 files does import into FCPX.  I thought it was Contents folder but another set of footage shot on C300 does import and there is no contents folder for that. 

  • 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.

  • Can I import .MTS files from an external hard drive into Final Cut Pro X?

    Luis,
    Just to clarify one point…in order for Streamclip to convert the MTS I believe a plug-in like the AVCCAM QuickTime importer from Panasonic needs to be installed. (Credit David McClain over at the FCS boards for that info.)

  • How do I import video from a Sony DSC-HX100V Camera into iPhoto

    How do I import video from a Sony DSC-HX100V Camera into iPhoto? . . . i can see all the photos but the videos are not visable (I also connected the SD card with a USB Sony SD Card Reader - again only the photos are accessible - no video files are shown) . . .

    If you're shooting AVCHD then you'll need to upgrade to iPhoto 11v9.3 to import this material.
    A note on AVCHD: This format was developed for people who are shooting to edit the material afterwards. If you're shooting to edit, then iMovie or Final Cut are the correct home for this material. If you're not shooting to edit consider using one of the other video formats on your Camera.

  • HT5621 I recently changed my apple id email from an old one to a new one and now I can't sign out of my old one on my iPhone 5 because it says I need a password. I cannot give that password because it is part of the old apple ID. How do I change IDs?

    Hi sharonpalencia, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand it can be very frustrating when you cannot sign in, or sign out in this case, to your Apple ID. In this situation you may need to temporarily edit your Apple ID back to the original email address so that you can sign out. Once signed out, edit the Apple ID back to the new email address and sign in. Please use the attached article for further information. 
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    If you're still asked for your previous Apple ID password, continue to the next step.
    Have a great day, 
    Joe

  • I can't download the latest itunes (I need to for my phone) because it says I need an updated OS version, but my computer says everything is up to date. Help?

    I can't download the latest itunes (I need to for my phone) because it says I need an updated OS version, but my computer says everything is up to date. Any help?

    First you need to install Mac OS 10.6. To do this you have to buy the OS disk. (This is a whole different OS, not an update of 10.5.) Order it here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You may be able to install an even newer OS, but you have to get 10.6 first.
    Please look at Apple Menu / About This Mac / More Info... and check under Hardware Overview for the Model Identifier of your Macbook. That will tell us whaat is the highest OS you can install.
