Import photos not working

I am a computer dummy! I have had no trouble until now importing photos from my camera. When I connect my camera to computer a message appears - 'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer' with options under this asking Initialize Ignore Eject. Can anyone help me with this problem? The camera appears to be fine as I can import onto my laptop.

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
That is an OS message - not an iPhoto message
And note that all we know about your issue is what you tell us - so more is better
what computer are you connecting to?
How are you connecting?
what laptop do you have that works?
How are you connecting to it?
Your Mac is not really seeing a camera - the camera is just acting as a card reader to mount the removable mass storage - the card
Since you can use the card on your laptop the first thing I'd try is downloading your photos to the laptop and then using the camera to reformat the card and see if that fixes it
If you are connecting via USB I'd try a different USB cable
I'd try a USB card reader
And depending on what your set up is and what you are trying there may be other things

    'appeared' elements 4.0(c2006) installed but then won't import photo to work area & says id/serial no. or company name are invalid(no reason they should be and the company address wasn't i think a required field-it seemed to have gone through anyway).
    I called up Adobe and they do not support for anything pre Photoshop Elements 8.0. The menu bar is all greyed out so cannot do anything there but the photoshop elements icon is sitting in my dock and the work station screen fills my screen-

    If you have a mac, forget it. PSE 6 is the earliest version that will install sucessfully and run without trouble in 10.6 or 10.7. If you have PSE 4 installed when you upgrade to 10.6 it will continue to run but the installer just doesn't work in recent versions of OS X, so you can't reinstall it if you need to do so.

    Try a cleaning disc. You can get them at places like Radio Shack.
    If nothing helps your optical drive has probably failed. You can replace it or purchase an inexpensive external drive. Don't buy the Apple SuperDrive as it won't work with macs that have a built in drive.

  • Zen Micro Photo not working with new XP SP2 install

    Okay so my Zen Micro Photo stopped being recognised on my computer about ten months ago when I upgraded to WMP (for BBC iPlayer - it's compulsory to have it). Anyway I li'ved with this and have now got thoroughly sick of the same songs and nothing new so I have done a fresh install (on a brand new hard dri've) of Windows XP SP2 WMP9 with the sole intention of using this install/hard dri've?for the player. I used the original installation disk and it prompted me to upgrade to WMP0 as I installed everything. There were no errors during the install and I rebooted when prompted to.
    When I attach the player it is recognised by the machine (task bar icon and correctly labelled in System > Hardware > Device Manager which reports it to be?working okay) but the Creative media software says "player not attached" when it is. It is not visible on My Computer as a dri've so I STILL have no access to the player. Player screen reports "docked" with a logo and is flashes a charging icon. Driver v5.2.0.0. The player plays fine but hasn't had new music on in almost a year
    There is nothing else on the XP install (IE6 and everything - argh!) I did the registry permission tweak thing mentioned?here:?http://support.creative.com/kb/showa....aspx?sid=9287?but it didn't do anything.
    Any help greatfully received!

  • Problems with "find nearby missing photos", not working like it should in LR4

    After I imported photos into LR4 I decided to split the event within the same folder creating 2 subfolders and proceeded to move the files within the finder. Went to LR4 and synchronized the folder but it didn't fix the file location on the missing files. So I tried finding individual files and checked the "Find nearby missing photos" but this doesn't seem to work like it did in LR3, because it won't find any nearby missing files even though they are right there new to each other in the same folder.
    I don't want to dremove them and re-import because I have added ratings and I fear I would loose this info if I did that...

    Your assumption that you would loose your ratings and develop settings is correct, if you would re-import.
    Reimporting is never a good idea.
    For the rest you have two alternatives: either you reconnect one image after another, or you undo on OS level what you did in the first place, then execute the move inside LR.
    Depending on how many images you moved this could actually be the fastest route out.
    "Find nearby missing photos" did not work reliably for me either in LR3. I have never found out when it did and when not, so I have preferred to learn how to perform any such operation inside LR.
    Another valid question is why you do not use collections for your desired split , and leave the folders as they were.
    According to my prejudice MAC users would not be as conservative in sticking to folder structures as Windows users..;-))
    Once you master LR folders could be very unimportant storage buckets, as every angle for organizing your images would be covered by (smart) collections and keywords and other metadata.
    Good luck, Cornelia

  • Imported photos not showing up in iMovie

    Not all of my iPhoto pictures can be seen in the photo dialog box in iMovie.  I have done a bit of research, and it appears that I am having problems with the photos I have imported.  Since I am working on a collaborative project where I get photos from other parties, importing photos is the only way I can get photos from other people.  Does anyone have a solution??  This is a bit urgent!!  I am using iMovie '09 with OS 10.9.1.

    I'm not familiar with iPhoto since I don't use it, but if you want to use photos sent to you from others there is no need to go via iPhoto.  Just save the photos in some convenient folder and drag and drop the photo files with Finder directly into your iMovie timeline.

  • Import Project not working... Help?

    I cannot for the life of me figure this out. Running two macs. I have an assistant now who rates/edits photos on one mac running Aperture. When she finished, I exported the project (without checking 'consolidate images') and then imported them on my computer. When I did this, I got the following:
    http://www.redtreedesign.com/other/aperture.png
    So I thought - maybe I should have checked the checkbox on the export. So I went back, checked the box and exported. Sure enough, on the import, I got the same. No files anywhere to be seen, but several folders.
    Any ideas? The files are stored in the aperture library (not referenced).
    Thanks,
    Josh

    How are you transferring the exported project between computers? If you are using the Windows drive sharing feature, that will not work and probably give you what you see. It could be something else as well.
    That would be my best guess as to what is happening. You could double-check the exported project contents when you receive it, use Finder to right-click on the project and select "Show Package Contents" - then you are looking at what files are inside that project. Compare what is in the original exported project on the computer it normally lives on with the copy, and see if there are any differences.

  • Do not import duplicates not working

    How can I import only new photos from memory card? the do not import duplicates checkmark  does not work anymore.

    I reset the import settings to defaults, thinking I might have changed something inadvertently ( I am new at this), and now the checkmark for do not import duplicates cannot be checked ( for the past two weeks it could but it would still import all the duplicates)
    This looks like there may be a problem with broken user preferences in your user account.
    Test, if you can set the "Do not import duplicates" flag, if you sign in as a different user. Enable another user account for testing in the "System Preferences > Users& Groups", e.g. the "Guest" account, if you do not have a test account.  If the "Do not import Duplicates" is working well in this account, we'll know, that broken preferences files or other setings in your current account are probably causing this.
    Then try to remove your user preferences as described in this document :   the Apple Aperture trouble-shooting page.
    You user library may still be hidden, as is the default in Mavericks: To open your hidden user library:
    Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house)  in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options".
    Enable "Show Library Folder".
    Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to ~/Library/Preferences
    These files and folders need removing:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Aperture
    After removing the Preferences files it is essential to log off and on again, or to restart the computer, before you launch Aperture again.  Otherwise it may not take effect.

  • Iphoto 11 is frozen on finishing import.  Stop import does not work.  How do I fix this?

    I tried to import photos by dragging a group of them to an album and the import started, but does not finish.  When I press stop import, it does not respond. How do I fix this?  I think that it happened with iphone pictures, but could have been a SD card from my camera, and I ejected it before it finished since I could not get the import to work or stop.

    Force Quit the app - it's under the Apple menu.

  • SAP Mobile app Stock photo not work for network location

    Hi Experts
    I found if we use network location path (e.g.
    servername\pic folder\) in SAP Business One General Settings -> Path, Picture Folder, then if we logon SAP B1 Mobile app from iPad/iPhone, and try to open stock photo, we will get error:
    Processing Failed
    Internal server error: contact your system administrator
    It looks like it only work for local path, e.g C:\pic
    Even we put path as :
    local pc name\pic folder, it is also not work.
    Any idea about this?
    Thanks

    The first link is a temporary fix for a machine that only one or two people will use. This will not fix the Library Machines that some 3000 users can use at anytime. I can not pre-add all these users every time we image a machine. We also loan out laptops and I need these machine to wirelessly login dynamically to the domain. But I also need these machine to allow access if these machine are removed from our campus and the wireless access is not available.
    Thank again for the help and I hope someone at Apple can fix this soon. I going to have a hard time telling the client that thay can not use the OS that came with they're machine.

  • On iphoto my stop import is not working and the force quit does not work either

    please help - the stop import and force quit on iphoto both not working. thx!

    This happened to me today on the iPad; I put in the password 4 or 5 times. I began to think my account had been hacked. I tried again on my iPhone and it worked first time. Then I tried again on the iPad and same thing—worked first time. Maybe just a temporary glitch in the server?

  • Background-color:transparent !important; is not working in IE

    Hi,
    In my sharepoint site i have used "background-color:transparent !important;" css. It is not working in IE but in Mozilla is working fine.
    And I am using IE 11. Please let me know is there any thing wrong in the syntax. If that is the case please provide me correct solution for that.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    Regards,
    Saya 

    Thank you for your reply.
    I have checked given links. Those are not use for this issue.
    Actually in my sharepoint site the same code "background-color:transparent
    !important;" was working fine before installing sharepoint 2010 service pack 2. After installation we got this issue. And if i change "transparent"
    with any color, it is applying that color. Only "transparent"
    background css is not working in IE.

  • Import statement not working

    i created a package named "pkg1", it contains 4 classes named
    1) Base
    2) Subclass1 (extends Base)
    3) Subclass2 (extends Subclass1)
    4) Subclass3 (extends Subclass2)
    now when i try to use the package using
    import pkg1.*
    and in main method, if i write,
    Subclass3 obj = new Subclass3();
    It does not work, error msg says "makes sure Subclass3 is in the correct sub-directory."
    However, when i tried
    import pkg1.Subclass3;
    It worked fine, Why is then import pkg1.* not working??

    I don't think that's going to help.
    Try and see.
    When the java compiler looks for a class
    pkg1.Subclass1 it looks for pkg1\Subclass1.java
    relative to the current directory and
    pkg1\Subclass1.class relative to each directory on
    the classpath.
    When the javac compiler (at least version 1.4) looks for a dependent class, it looks in the Classpath directories. It only looks relative to the current directory if the current directory is in the Classpath. When it looks for a dependent class, it looks for both .java and .class files. If it only finds a .java file or the .java file is newer than a .class file, it will try to compile the file.
    You need to compile from the directory above
    pkg1, in this case (unfortunately) d:\
    This makes it sound like it is a requirement to compile from the directory. It isn't required.

  • I have iMovie '11, and I am unable to access mpeg HD video files that I want to edit.  The files are fine (I can open and watch them using VLC), but I cannot seem to import the files into iMovie. File Import does not work.  Any suggestions??

    More detail: I have a bunch of mpeg HD video files that were shot on a SONY HDR-HC3 Handycam camcorder.  I would like to edit these into a single video production.  I can access and view the mpeg files using VLC (Quicktime does not work with them).  However, I seem to be unable to get the mpeg files to interface with iMovie '11 -- I cannot use the File --> Import command, nor can I drag-and-drop them into iMovie.
    Is there something anyone might suggest to get this to work?  Or are these files incompatible with iMovie?  If so, I assume I must purchase a different video editing software program (e.g. Adobe Premeir Pro).  Suggestions???
    Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration

      Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time  from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each. 
        To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation?  Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet. 
        Thanks
