Imported Photos from Yahoo. Appear as Thumbnails in IPhoto6.

I don't have the original source of the pics (cd). Is there any way to fix this so the pics will be displayed in full size?
Thanks.

How did you go about importing the pic? Drag and drop? Did you by any chance just drag the thumbnails in? Or did you click on the thumbnails, let the full-size pic load in your browser, then then import the full-size?

  • When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the library and in Photostream.

    When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the iPhoto library and in Photostream. It has no apparent pattern, the photos are just blank. It's not just icons, when I go to edit the photos externally in Photoshop it opens an image filled with nothing but black.
    This is more than annoying. It's effectively deleting photos I'm taking on vacation and so forth.
    Anyone?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    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. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear.  Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not).  But they no longer appear as a recent import.  Lots more happens

    Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone to iPhoto and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear.  Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not).  But they no longer appear as a recent import.  Lots more happens and I'm wondering if it's because I have a 5-year old Mac book or iPhoto is having issues.  I'm not happy with disappearing photos especially after I've deleted them from my iphone after importing them to my macbook.
    Has anyone experienced similar difficulties and what can I do?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

    I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them only as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

    Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
    Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to?  If you do then bring it in and then use  iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
    If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows:  make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    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.
    If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library.  But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
    Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB.  That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash.  You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

  • After importing photos from a digital camera the thumbnails are blank.

    I purchased a new iMac a few months ago and had no problem with transferring (and viewing) my iPhoto library onto the new computer. However, now when I import photos from my iPhone or camera, the thumbnails are blanks (with little dotted lines around them). In order to view the picture I must double-click on the image. This makes it a difficult to locate photos! Help me please.

    I just got the iPod Classic and I don't see anywhere in the manual that I can still do this. Is it still possible to import my photos from the camera to the iPod?
    No, the new iPods do not have a camera adaptor able to do this. Why Apple have decided not to make a suitable adaptor available (the old one won't work with the Classic), I have no idea.

  • Photos for Mac stuck importing photos from iPhone

    I recently upgraded to Photos for Mac from Aperture. Upgrading the library went fairly smoothly. On my first attempt to import photos from my iPhone 6, Photos is now stuck in the import process.
    The import tab (device selected) shows the following:
    Already imported (2,509 items)
    New items (442 items)
    No thumbnail images are visible (just the default grey squares indicating items)
    At the top of this screen is an import progress bar that has not shown any progress. This progress indicator says "Importing 442 items" but the bar itself remains grey; I'm assuming there would be either a black or colored indicator showing some progress when the import process is working correctly.
    After about an hour with no indication of progress, I selected the "Stop Import" option, with no noticeable results. I tried clicking the Stop Import button several more times, still with no results. Let things be for about five minutes, with no change in status. The import still seems stuck; clicking the stop button does nothing.
    Next, I quit the Photos application. An error sheet appears: "Do you want to continue importing? Photos is currently importing files. If you quit the import task will be canceled." I select "Quit".
    Now Photos gets stuck closing the library. All app windows close except for a tiny square that says: "Closing the library..." The library does not close and I run out of patience waiting for it to do so and force quit the application.
    I am using a 27-inch late-2009 iMac
    8GB memory
    2.66 GHz Intel Core i5
    177GB storage space available
    Photos 1.0
    Photo library is approx. 107GB

    Update: Force Quitting and restarting the app apparently solved whatever was preventing importation of photos from the iPhone.

  • Importing photos from my iPhone is incredibly slow or not working anymore

    After upgrading from iPhoto to Photos, I can't import photos from my iPhone anymore after connecting it to my 5K iMac.
    When I do connect my iPhone to my iMac, it takes over a minute or two for just the "Import" button to appear next to the global Photos/Shared/Albums/Projects navigation.
    The next problem is that my thumbnails are loading incredibly slow, with just the thumbnail placeholder graphics appearing at a glacial pace without the actual thumb of the photo in question.
    These issues are terribly annoying and killing the excitement of the long overdue and great upgrade.
    Many thanks in advance to whoever can help me resolve these issues.
    SavJag

    Ok, this is incredible, but within 5 minutes of posting this problem, and after 6 to 8 views (hopefully by Apple Tech Support), these issues seem to be fixed.
    I just tried Photos again (my iPhone was already connected to my iMac) and boom, the Import button was already there in the global nav.
    The thumbnail gallery of my already imported and new items showed up immediately.
    When I hit "Import", my new items started importing immediately and turning up under the Photos section.
    Apple Support Community / Tech Support, a big thank you to whoever fixed this. Hugely appreciated.

  • When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder, what happens if I delete the photo in Iphoto ? Will the original file in the folder be deleted too?

    When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder to iphoto, what happens if:
    1. I delete that photo in iphoto? will the original file in the folder be deleted too ?
    2.  when importing, does the hard disk store 2 versions of the photo, hence occupying additional space in the harddisk?

    1 - no  --  iPhoto only manages fiel within the iPhoto library - it does not ever do anything with files outside the library
    2 - No idea what you are asking - by default (and strongly recommended) iPhoto copies the original to the iPhoto library and you delete the source file outside the iPhoto library - iPhoto alwasy has at least two versions of every photo and some times three - it always have the original, a thumbnail and once a photo is modified a preview - this is not optional - if it is not what you want then iPhoto is not the correct progrtam to be using for phopto management

  • IPhoto 11 won't import photo from iPhone 5 on new MBP

    Brand new MacBookPro out of box experience -- picked up the laptop yesterday.  Everything seems to work until I get to iPhoto (as usual).  Plugged in my iPhone 5 and tried to import photos.  Error -- Unreadable Files: 1   IMG_0434.JPG.   Ok...  Not sure what's wrong but when I go back to import photos there are now fewer to import.   Tried again.  Same error.  Even fewer photos to import again.  Tried to find the photo on the iPhone but despite the confusing array of presentation options there is no way to simply find one by file name.  And hence no way to delete the offending photo.  Or to import it. 
    Similarly there appear to be two movies to be imported but iPhoto reports "Error downloading image.  iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image."  Not helpful.  And again no way to remove the offending files.  No way to find them on the iPhone.  No way to delete them through iPhoto.
    Oh, and is there still not any way to turn off the stupid events stuff?  This just causes more confusion for me when trying to enjoy my photos.  Alternatively can I import photos from my iPhone using another app and move them directly to the file system and eliminate iPhoto from my workflow altogether???

    Can you access these images and movies with Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) ?

  • How to set image size for importing photos from a digital camera

    I'm using Iphoto 6 and am a novice user of my new digital camera. The camera is set to HQ image quality. Initially when I imported photos from the camera into IPhoto, the images were very large (over 1 meg) and produced good quality 4X6 prints. Now when I import photos from the same camera still set to HQ image quality, the photos are very small (less than 100 kb) after being imported into IPhoto. I think I must have changed some kind of setting in IPhoto that affects the size of an imported image, but I can't find where that is or how to change it back so that the size is not changed when imported. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks!

    Dave, thanks for clarifying Toad's response for me - I was just too ignorant to connect the dots from his responses. As you said, there were 2 versions - 1 in the original folder and 1 in data; the original folder had the photos that were 1 mb. We must have pulled from that folder previously to print photos not realizing they existed in 2 places. So when we found these thumbnail photos, we just thought they were the real thing. Where can you go to learn about the struction and hierarchy of the photos in terms of what Iphoto does to an image when you import it? Is it in Iphoto help somewhere? Thanks so much for your help with this, and you too Toad for leading me down the path.
    If you're getting the size from Finder, I think Old
    Toad's question makes a lot of sense. Is the file
    you're looking at, somewhere in a folder called
    "Data" in iPhoto Library? That 56k sounds about the
    right size for a thumbnail.
    If you do a search for the image name, both the
    actual photo and the small thumbnail are stored with
    the same image, e.g. abc.jpg

  • IPhoto not responding when importing photos from Canon Powershot SD450

    Recently I have been unable to import photos from my camera. I can see the thumbprints but when I try to import iPhoto hangs and has to be force quit? I am able to take the SD Card and insert it into an SD card reader, so there is no problem with the SD card.
    The following message appears in the Console log:

    Anyone know if this DocumentsToGoXCM.plugin is related to the DocumentsToGo program for Palm PDAs (which I have)? And why would it be involved with iPhoto?

  • How do i import photos from iphone to windows pc without the autoplay

    My phone doesnt have space anymore for me to upgrade IOS7 and would really appreacite if someone could help. i have to import pictures to my computer and somehow that autoplay option is not coming on and also the phone is not showling under the removable options.

    Hello Lady MC,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.  It sounds like you are trying to import photos from your iPhone, but the AutoPlay dialogue box doesn't automatically appear. 
    You may need to enable AutoPlay on your computer:
    Connect your iOS device to the computer. If the AutoPlay window appears, click "Import Pictures and Videos using Windows", then skip to step 4. If the "Import Pictures and Video" dialog appears, skip to step 4.
    Note: If the AutoPlay dialog box does not automatically open, you may need to enable the behavior.
    That excerpt is from the section titled "If you have a Windows Vista or Windows 7 PC" in the following article:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    If your iPhone is not appearing as a connected device at all, I recommend reviewing the following article:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Import Photos from DVD  - Reference to Original DVD Title?

    i installed the trial version of Lightroom 2.0 and tested it out putting a DVD in.. it imported all the thumbnails fine... but when you take out the DVD after its done cataloging all the icons, the program doesn't tell you the name of the DVD that the photo folders belong to... it just gives a message referring to the fact that the "image is not available" when you click on an icon... which makes sense of course because the DVD isn't there, but... there's no indication like "please insert DVD labeled "PhotoDVD090" or whatever ...
    I looked through the preferences to see if there was a way of turning on a feature that would be able to prompt me to put in the correct DVD when a particular thumbnail was clicked... this, I believe would be an invaluable and time saving tool for those of us with tons of off-line media.

    Thanks for the reply.. I appreciate it much. I know what you're trying to say but I have searched for a program that will import photos from a DVD, remember it by serial number (of the physical media), allow you to type in a DVD name or use the one originally provided when you burned the DVD, then store all thumbnails on the computer, remove the DVD, still have the thumbnails on the computer permanently and when you click a thumbnail, if the appropriate DVD is not in the drive it will prompt you for the title of the DVD..
    simple simple simple... The fact that Lightroom doesn't have such a feature has prompted me to remove it completely from my system..
    the fact that ACDsee Photo Manager 10 DOES have this feature, and costs a mere $29.99 has prompted me to get it instead.. it works like a dream... you can browse all your images, search by any criteria imaginable.. and then when you find the image you wish to work on.. a double click will pop of a box saying please insert such and such a dvd... you put in the DVD then click edit and up it pops in photoshop (or whatever other editing software you specify).. magic... Lightroom really needs to address this lacking option.

  • Can you help me delete imported photos from iPhone (4s) running ios 7?

    I made (what appears to be) the mistake of importing photos from my PC to my new iPhone 4s using itunes.  They now seem to be permanent occupants.  I can select them (in the "Moments" view in the Photos app)  but the trash can on lower right is always grayed out.  It appears that in ios 6 they could be deleted in the Settings/General/Usage (I also synced over some music which is deletable here).  Can anyone help me? 

    Thank you razmee, I will give that a shot and get back to you.  I was just looking at that grayed out trashcan icon an thinking there was probably a way to light it up. 

  • Can I import photos from iPad to Mac using WiFi?

    I know I can import photos from the iPad to the Mac using the USB cable, and importing them into iPhoto.  But is it possible to do this without plugging in the iPad - i.e. with WiFi?  I couldn't find a way to make it work.
    Better still, would it be possible to automatically 'sync' photos taken on the iPad to the Mac using iCloud, without also having photos from the Mac going back to the iPad?  My iPhoto archive is now quite large, and I don't want it on the iPad.
    Or are there any other approaches?
    I really want to be able to use the iPad to regularly "empty" my camera while travelling, and have the iPad transfer the pictures to my main photo archive (iPhoto on the Mac) whenever it gets a chance.  If this can happen automatically, that is best.  Manually initiating it via WiFi is next best.  Mnually initiating it via a USB cable is third best - still not difficult, but more steps.

    Paul Fryer wrote:
    Can anybody confirm this one way or the other?
    If you have 800 photos on the iPad in the Photo Stream, those 800 photos will appear in the Photo Stream in iPhoto. However, if you have 7000 photos in albums in iPhoto, they will not appear in the Photo Stream on the iPad unless you place the photos into the Photo Stream. Photo Stream is its own album in iPhoto and your already imported photos in iPhoto will not appear in there unless you add them to the photo stream.
    Look at one of the WiFi photo transfer apps such as WiFi Transfer App. You can send the iPad photos to your Mac using Safari on the Mac and then Imprt them to iPhoto as you see fit. You cannot send the photos directly into iPhoto with these apps.
