Import new photos into iphoto, browser not seeing recent "last import"

I use several web based applications that ask to upload photos. I go into browse and iphoto and for some reason it won't pull the last imported photos - it is as if the browser is caching the old events and last import. When I exit FireFox and iPhoto and restart my machine it will see them. I must be missing a plug in or something - any ideas?????

  • All my previous events disappear when I import new photos into iphoto?

    Each time I import photos from my Canon digital camera into my iphoto, the new import is the only event that shows. I can't access any menues or events in iphoto; when I open iphoto from the dock, only my most recent event opens. To import photos from my camera, I open iphoto, connect the USB cord to my camera and the USB port on my computer, and click import. The next time I open my iphoto, nothing is there except my last import. When this happened a few weeks ago, I looked at the discussions and found out how to rebuild the library, which I did, but I can't do that every time I import photos. What is happening? What is wrong with my iphoto?

    It sounds like you have a damaged database.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    As to why you have repeated corruption - Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
    If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.

  • Problem with importing scanned photos into iPhoto

    I have an Epson scanner that scans photos into the JPEG format. However, when I try to import these photos into iPhoto I am told that the file format is incompatible with iPhoto. This is odd since photos in iPhoto ARE in JPEG format.
    Can anybody help?
    Many thanks in advance for any assistance.
    Sir Leicester

    Did you scan these photos as grayscale b/w photos? If so that's the reason. iPhoto does not support the grayscale mode when it has the *+Dot Gain 20%+* profile added to it and that's what scanners use.
    Rescan all b/w images as color and they will be accepted by iPhoto. Or you can download the Automator workflow application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile, from Toad's Cellar and drop the files onto the application. This will batch convert them to jpegs in the RGB mode with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile.

  • How can I import newer photos into 7.1.5?

    My daughter burned a cd of photos from her version of iPhoto "09", 8.1.2 for me.
    I am using 7.1.5 and iPhoto will not allow me to import the photos into my library. When I try this there is an alert saying I can't import this version - then my only option is to quit iPhoto!
    HELP, is there a work around???

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
    1 -open the CD by clicking on it.
    2 - open the folder titled "Library" by double clicking on it.
    3 - drag the "Originals" folder to the Desktop.
    4 - launch iPhoto and drag the Originals folder from the Desktop into iPhoto's open window.
    This will import just the original photo files in the same Rolls as they were in your daughter's library. You WILL NOT get any of the keywords, titles or modified versions of those photos.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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.
    NOTE: this is not the same as routinely backing up your entire iPhoto library folder to protect your photos. It only protects the loss of your organizational efforts that the database file contains.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • I am unable to import new photos in iPhoto 11. Perhaps I should just reinstall from iLife disk? Will it affect my photos in any way?

    Hello,
    I have iPhoto 11 installed on my MacBook. I am now unable to import new photos using USB or by plugging the camera directly into the laptop. Never had that probem before with this camera. Perhaps just reinstall iPhoto from the iLife disk?

    Hello Terence,
    Okay I will try reformating the camera's card. However all is well when I export photos to my iMac at home or onto my iPad.
    If your suggestion does not work should I try reinstalling iPhoto from the iLife disk? If so, how do I go about doing that or is there a website somewhere explaining this?
    Regards,

  • Suddenly can't import any photos into iPhoto!

    Suddenly and inexplicably, I cant import any photos into my iPhoto program. iPhoto has worked fine for years. Now, all of a sudden, no matter how I try to import them (either from my desktop, or from my digital camera), I get the error message: Couldn't create: /Volumes/name of external drive/iPhoto Library/2006/08/21/name of photo. When I click "OK" on the error message dialogue box, I then get the error message "Unreadable files: 1 The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)." I am reasonably certain that of the 250 or so J-Peg photos I'm presently trying to import, from 2 different cameras, ALL of them can't be corrupt.
    First, I tried repairing my disk permissions on my G4. Then, I tried reinstalling iLife 5.0.2. Then I tried reinstalling the OSX 10.3.9 combo pack, and iPhoto 5.0.4. Then I tried again repairing my disk permissions with disk utility. All proved useless to solve the problem.
    I also tried dragging my iPhoto preferences to the trash. But I found to my horror that this action completely obliterates all of my iPhoto albums and photo groupings. I did not attempt to import any new photos once I discovered this, as I was fearful doing so might render my loss of my albums permanent. So I retrieved my old preferences from the trash, thus saving my albums and groupings, but also keeping the original importing problem.
    What can I do to fix this importing problem without obliterating my albums and groupings? Lots of work has gone into the grouping and categorizing of my albums and photos. Though it would be easy to reimport all of my photos, I would not want to begin to take the time to recreate all of my albums and groupings from scratch. Is there any way these groupings can be preserved? If not, there should be! It's idiotic to think that Apple might not consider all of the time the grouping of albums and songlists represents to the typical user of iPhoto or iTunes.
    Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

    I've found a solution to this problem, thankfully. But it didn't come via rebuilding the iPhoto library.
    I didn't want to to a manual rebuild of my original iPhoto library, since I was cautioned that it would involve losing my albums and all notations and filings I'd made concerning my photos. Before I first tinkered with the library, I made a backup copy of the original-defective library onto another external drive. Then I did one more complete "automatic rebuild" of the original/defective library, and found to my horror that the library wouldn't even open any more. It would send up an error message when I'd try to click on it's icon to open the library.
    I went back to the backup copy of my iPhoto library (containing all of my albums, groupings, and etc.) and did what I hadn't thought to do in the first place: I simply attempted to import photos (my original difficulty) into this backup iPhoto library. It worked perfectly!!! All photos imported into this backed up copy as if it were the original. And now that I have trashed my "original" and totally defective former iPhoto library, this backup copy is now my new iPhoto library.
    I guess whatever was wrong with the old library was shaken out just by making a backup copy. I'm afraid that's about as technical an explanation as I can offer. But maybe doing the same process will help another of you suffering from a similar problem with importing photos. Anyway, a hearty thanks to everyone who responded to this original query of mine. Mac users are truly the best!!! Cheers!

  • Imported new photos to iPhoto - can I now delete the old folders?

    I just finished importing a bunch of photos from folders on my Mac into iPhoto. Can I now delete those folders?

    As long as you have iPhoto setup to copy photos into the library (a managed library) when imported
    you can delete the folders.

  • Importing RAW photos into iPhoto 6

    I recently upgraded to iLife '06 for the sole purpose of working with RAW photos. I kept getting error message "Unreadable file(s)", so I thought i'd upgrade to OS 10.4.5. Still I receive the same error message. I can click on the file and see it's profile and a thumbnail by using "Get Info", but I cannot import the RAW files into iPhoto 6 at all. Online and phone tech support keeps telling me to rebuild the iPhoto Library, as it may have something to do with deleted RAW photo in the Library. Well, I even tried to import these same RAW photos on a friend's brand-spankin'-new G5, which only had 10 photos in his Library and no deleted photo at all, but sadly this was to no avail. The same error message comes up when trying to import.
    Background; the camera used is supported by iPhoto 6 (Nikon e5700), and the files are not corrupted as far as i can tell. I was able to import jpegs from the same camera card at the same time I attempted to import the RAW pix.

    Solved: This response has solved my problem completely.
    Actually, only Apple's engineering staff can solve my issue, but you answered the question as completely as possible. All that time on the phone and on the chat support and no one could give me that straight answer. Sad to think I upgraded iLife and my OS for the sole purpose of reading RAW photos from a camera they claimed to have supported on their own website. Someone at Apple better get on the stick.

  • Need help - can't import some photos into iPhoto - getting error msg

    I have a lot of photos on my computer. Most of them are in my iPhoto, but I can't seem to load all of the photos in there and integrate them al. I am getting an error message. The jist of the message is that they are unreadable and that they cannot be imported. The photos are jpegs. I am kind of at a loss as to why these photos are not getting imported.
    Does it have anything to do with where the photos were taken from? What I mean is that when I have current photos on the camera, they will go directly to iPhoto. What about the ones that are copied to my hard drive from another computer? Those I can't seem to integrate into my library. An suggestions? Thanks.

    whatsupdut?
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Are these troublesome files in the iPhoto Library Folder? Are you putting files in there hoping to see them in iPhoto?
    iPhoto is a database, the images have to be imported (File -> Add to Library) before they can be seen. Also, as a precaution against duplication, iPhoto will not import pics from the iPhoto Library Folder, so move them out to the desktop and then import them.

  • Can we import RAW photos into iphoto?

    My brother-in-law has many photos from past reunions that are in RAW format. Can we import these into iphoto and have it work? I really want the photos but he thinks it won't work.
    What are the steps? He says the file sizes are very large

    That's not enough.
    The Raw format of each camera model - not make, model - is different. So the Raw of the Nikon D40 is not the same as the Raw from a D60, which is different from the D80 and so on.
    But hey, have you tried plugging it in and seeing if it will import?

  • Cannot import jpg photos into iPhoto'09

    Before posting, I tried to read previous posts and Google'd the issue, but I have not found a solution that works.
    Someone sent us pictures from our recent trip to Disney World. I downloaded the pictures to a folder under the Download folder. The pictures come up fine in Preview. Here are the specs. for one of the pictures -- the Document type is JPEG image. File Size: 702KB, Image Size: 2048x1536 pixels, Image DPI: 144 pixels/inch, Color model: RGB, ColorSync profile: Adobe RGB 1998 (also tried Generic RGB and sRGB EIC61966-2.1).
    When, I drag the photo to the iPhoto window, I get the error popup about Unreadable Files -- "The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)
    I am running Mac OS 10.6.2 with iPhoto'09, version 8.1.1 (419).
    This is really frustrating!
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Download the Automator workflow application *+Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile+* from Toad's Cellar, unzip it, drop a couple of files on it (use backup copies) and see if those will import into iPhoto.

    iPhoto only works with RGB photos - sRGB is the best
