Import issues with iPhoto 6.0.6 on PB G4

Hi! I'm running iPhoto 6.0.6 on a Powerbook G4. I import .jpg images from a USB stick, or CD, or over a network and it *appears* the images are in iPhoto (they show up in the main window in a new film roll) However, when I remove the stick or CD or disconnect from the network, I can't work on the photos in iPhoto, can't run them in slide shows etc. Looks like I imported a link to the original photos, rather than the files themselves. What's going on here and how do I fix? Thanks! Paul L.

Hey Larry - thanks! This turned out to be the correct answer. Definitely appreciate your suggestion...all good now. Interesting that I've been using iPhoto on this G4 for several years, and this was the first time I had seen this problem. I had the hard drive replaced last summer...maybe that caused the switch in settings and I didn't notice. Anyway, all good now! Cheers - Paul

When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop.. won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not... need to fix this

When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop... won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not

If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow. However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

Importing issues with Final Cut Pro X. Green flash and twitches while play back

Hello, I'm having some importing issues with Final Cut Pro X and I can't find any solution whatsoever. Perhaps my importing settings are wrong?
Anyways, I've done a lot of recordings on eye TV and HD PVR with some videos that are about 3 hours long. I exported them into H.264 files, which turns them into mpeg-4 files with AAC audio. Then I import them into final cut pro X and I notice it takes a long time for them to render the videos and I notice that there are some green screens and twitches while I play through the video.
Here is a screenshot of the green screen that I'm talking about:

Could it be my 2 video graphics card that is causing this kind of issues? Or is there any solution to fix this?
In the past, I've used iMovie 09 and it worked out perfectly. However, the new iMovie 11 is terrible because it automatically optimzie my 3 hour long videos into making the importing process to (144 hours long to import). Is there any way to get iMovie 09 back or am I stuck on dealing with this Final Cut Pro X issues?
More information:
My Hauppauge HD PVR settings are set to custom. Video Constant Bit Rate, the average bit rate: 13.5 Mbps. The audio is AAC.
My project settings for video properties is set to custom, 720P HD Format, 1280 x 720 Resolution and 30P Rate. The audio and render properties is set to custom, audio channels is stereo, audio sample rate is 48kHz and the Render Format is Apple ProRes 422.

All of a sudden File compatability issues with IPhoto & digital camera

Anyone have issues or solutions for solving file compatability issues with IPhoto & digital camera? Worked okay for years but all of a sudden giving me error messages about file format. My camera uses Jpeg.

There is an issue ongoing between 10.6 and Kodak cameras. Workround: use a USB Card Reader.

Major issues with iphoto 09' v 8.1.2

I am having a lot of dificulty with iphoto and one of my issues is that my photos are showing that they are very poor quality (65kb) but my camera is not even capapble of taking such poor quality. (Canon SX20is)
Is there any way to restore the original resolution or is that info. lost forever; and how do i stop it from doing this in the future???
I would really appreciate help.
Thank you,
Brian

In your OP, it was unclear just what was going on, so I looked to see if it was possible to get files that small. If you would have mentioned the library debacle, I wouldn't have bothered.
I think you are going to have to manually rebuild the library.
I would rename the library you have and start iPhoto to create a new one.
Copy the images from originals folder from the old library to another temporary folder somewhere sort the trash by file type and drag all the jpegs to this temporary folder. Sort by name, and discard the smaller of any duplicate filenames.
Then go to iPhoto and select file->import to library.
Once it is done, select the event that is created and use event->autosplit events.

Two issues with iPhoto '09

First of all, I'm running iPhoto 8.1.2, on a system running 10.6.8. The issue described below isn't something that occurred suddenly after an update, as far as I can remember.
There are two issues: first of all, iPhoto won't import my JPEGs that I processed with Lightroom. I did that so many times, and there was never an issue, but for some reason, now I get the message that the file is in an unreadable format. To find out whether the problem resides in iPhoto or in the files, I took a picture that I already had in my library, renamed and tried to import it again, to no avail. Also, I opened the new pictures in Preview, and there was no problem there.
Secondly, I can browse through my events, and see my thumbnails. However, when I then double-click on any picture, iPhoto just shows a black void -- even though it says '1 photo selected in 1 event'. This applies to all photos in the library.
I would really really appreciate feedback on this issue, as iPhoto is my main image displaying/sharing application.

Thanks for the tip. I tried it, but the problem persist in the other account. As I said before, I also tried to reinstall iPhoto, after using AppCleaner to uninstall first. Something else I could do is uninstall all iLife components, and then reinstall the whole suite. Is it enough just to clean up iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD and Garage Band?
Another thing I (re-)tried is to use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library. To no avail, alas, but at least it provides a log with the error message, part of which I reproduce below. At the same time, iPhoto complains about the 'unreadable format' after every Event that ILM tries to rebuild.
Here's the log message:

Camera importing issues with leopard

i just upgraded to leopard- and i'm having troubles importing from either of my digital cameras-- it's always been so easy, just plug the camera (panasonic or canon) and iphoto would open and i'd say yes to import...
now with the panasonic i can import-- i see a volume mounted and can drag it to iphoto-- but i get several versions of each picture-- (and it's still not as smooth)
but with the canon (which is the primary camera in use) i can't do a thing-- the camera simply isn't recognized at all.....
since 80% of what i do with the computer is photo related, this is a huge ugly deal... i'm willing to dump the upgrade in order to have my camera functional again but i don't know if that's easy to do...
any suggestions?

You're in the wrong forum -- this is for Mail and Address Book. Your issue is with iPhoto and/or your digital camera.
You need to close this topic and open a new one in the appropriate forum.

Any suggestions on how to fix installation issues with iPhoto & iMovie on used Mac mini?

I bought a used, mid 2011, mac min. The selller deauthorized all his applications and resotred it to factory settings for me. When I received it, I added myself as an administrator and deleted the dummy user the seller had created after restoring the OS. The first thing I wanted to do was install applications I already have on my iMac (also running OSX Lion). It would not install iPhoto or iMovie. It said these applications were assigned to a different apple id, the previous owner. I decided to erase the hard drive and reinstall Lion myself. I ran into some snags (due to my internet connection) and had to use recovery thumb drive, but it worked.
I successfully re-installed Lion on the newly formatted hard drive.
I still cannot install iPhoto and iMovie. It just give me an error now. Couriously, it installed Garage Band just fine. I haven't had any other issues with other applications I purchased on my other iMac.
Anyone have any suggestions, besides purchasing iPhoto and iMovie on the mac mini?

Ethernet cord connected to the router solved it. This is exactly what I had to do when I reinstalled the operating system. For some reason my wireless internet is highly inreliable. It drops out constantly. I've always had my iMac hard wired to the router, but I'll have to figure out a fix for this Mac mini. I can't have a 30ft ethernet cord running through the middle of my basement. Thanks.

Import issue with Lightroom

I upgraded to LR5.2 2 weeks ago from 4.3. Install went fine, but I'm now having issues when importing my photos, Lightroom hangs partially through the import. The only choice I have then is to force quit the program, which then freezes my computer. Getting to be an invredibly frustrating exercise.
I have an iMac with OSX10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
Lightroom 5.2
Importing & converting CR2 files (5DMkIII) to DNG.
Images being imported to an external hard drive.
Nothing has changed in my workflow or software except for the installation of LR5. I did read in some of the forums that there was import issues that appear to have been fixed with the latest release, however, whilst I DEFINTIELY have the latest release of LR5, this is still occurring. Any ideas? Another bug?
Cheers
Sarah

sure did. All permissions are admin & I'm it. I haven't tried DL via image capture - LR4 gets me to the same end goal, tis just rather onerous to have to muck around with this twice. Appreciate your taking the time on this

Wanting to go "back in time" due to issue with iphoto 8.03

Everything was great on Sat. before I downloaded iphoto 8.03. Instead of jumping through hoops to try to fix my issues, can't I simply go back using Time Machine to iphoto 8.02? I've made minor changes otherwise to my mac since Sat. that I can duplicate no prob.
Can I revert back to my machine the way it was Friday or the time of my last back up?
Thanks!

tamara, actually, the following would be even better than trying to restore the application from a Time Machine backup. Reinstall, iPhoto 8.0 from your original iLife `09 DVD, then update the application to the update just prior to the one you began having issues with.
First, open the Applications folder and drag iPhoto to the Trash.
Now insert the iLife `09 DVD and launch the installer.
Accept the license agreement.
When you get to "Installation Type" click the "Customize" button on the left.
If you removed iPhoto as described earlier then there should be a check mark beside iPhoto.
Click "Install".
When the installation is complete go to the Apple Support website and download the iPhoto 8.0.2 Update (I believe it was 8.0.3 that you had trouble with?):
http://support.apple.com/downloads/iPhoto8_0_2Update
Install the update.
Now your iPhoto application is back to the version it was before the 8.0.3 update. However, your photo library was likely converted when you applied the 8.0.3 update. As a result iPhoto 8.0.2 will alert you that the photo library is not compatible with this version of iPhoto.
To fix this, hold down the Option & CMD keys and launch iPhoto.
A window will appear giving you various rebuilding options.
Place a check mark beside "Rebuild the iPhoto Library from automatic backup".
Click "Rebuild".
This will convert the library back to a version compatible with 8.0.2.
Let us know if this resolved your issue. Cheers!

Strange importing problem with iPhoto 11

After upgrading to iPhoto 11, I find that I can no longer import photos into iPhoto successfully. The photos show up properly, one by one, as the import progresses, but upon completion, the import shows up as blank outlines. At first I thought that the cause might be that I was importing corrupted files, but I find that I can't import any photos at all, either from my camera or from pre-existing folders on my computer.
The problem is complicated by the fact that I'm using a new Mac Pro, my original one having died last week. But I've checked all disk, folder, and file permissions, and everything should be OK. My wife's computer with iPhoto 08 imports without problems (we're both running 10.6.6).
Has anyone else been having this problem? If so, what did you do to fix it?

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the options to rebuild the thumbnails.

HELP - V3.4.5 Importing issues from iPhoto

Hi all,
A newbie here so apologies if this basic subject has already been covered!
I have just updated my software version of aperture to version 3.4.5 and I cant seem to locate any of my pictures stored in iPhoto via Aperture. I was able to do this with the previous version of Aperture. The pictures are stored in iPhoto but I cant locate them via Aperture..........hope that makes sense??
Can someone please point me in the right direction?? I have tried to import pictures from iPhoto and I have tried to access my pictures via Aperture but with no luck!!
Many thanks in advance,
Justin

The iPhoto Browser is no longer available in Aperture 3.4.5, if that is what you have been using.
Now Aperture and iPhoto are using the same library format, and you could simply open your iPhoto libraries in Aperture. Only this requires, that you update iPhoto as well to the most recent version 9.4.3. Then open your iPhoto libraries at least once in iPhoto 9.4.3 to convert them to the new format, and Aperture can open them as Aperture libraries.
See: Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
If you want to consolidate your iPhoto Libraries and your Aperrture library into one library, to be used with both iPhoto and Aperture, you can import your iPhoto libraries into your current Aperture library.
See: Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries

Lightroom 5 auto import issues with nikon d90

Hoping someone can help answer my question - I am wondering if Lightroom 5 has any issues with the auto import or tethering feature using a Nikon d90? I was using Lightroom 2 and the auto import feature has no issues with my d90. After I installed Lightroom 5 (Cloud App) and ran it for the first time, the first thing I used was the tethering feature and it worked great for 4 shots. I turned my camera off and then back on again and LR would not recognize my camera any longer for tethering. What's strange is that it will detect it for "Importing from Device" option. So, I went to plan two which was to auto import and that wasn't working at all. I am at a loss. I have a shoot coming up this weekend and need for one of these options to work. Any help is appreciated!!!

I use a D90, but I have never tried tethered shooting with it. Other users might have some suggestions for you, but looking at the list of supported cameras for tethered shooting the D90 is not "officially" supported in Lightroom. So you're probably on your own to find solutions. I know this isn't a lot of help.

ICloud photostream issues with iPhoto 9

MacbookPro 2013, running 10.9.1 with iPhoto 9.5.1
I have set up a new photostream with iCloud and it's fine on all my devices, but when I try to open the pics through iPhoto it takes me to my 'trash folder'.
I can see the folder and the thumbnails are all fine?
When I then try to play the slideshow, the images appear but are overlaid with the word 'trash'
Very wierd.
Any advice?

#1 is an indication that the library is damaged. Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
