Imported photos not right

I've imported photos from my camera into a new event, and if use the slider to change the picture size beyond a certain point, the pics disappear. If I move down small enough, the thumbnails come back. If I double click on a thumbnail all that shows up is a black window with an ! in it. Any suggestions?

Then the files have imported correctly but your database is damaged.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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, 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.

Is your QuickTime up to date?
Video importing requires QuickTime 7.6.2 or later.

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 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

Imported photos- not going away?

Every time I open I photo, it says "54 photos remaining to be imported- import them now?" It doesn't matter if I say yes or no, the question always appears, and the photos have already been imported. How do I stop this?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Quit iPhoto. Use the Finder to look inside your iPhoto Library folder (in your Pictures folder by default). Just inside the iPhoto Library folder you may see a folder called Import. If so, drag it out to your Desktop. +Warning: do not make any other changes inside the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder.+ Launch iPhoto and see if the problem is resolved. You can use the Finder to look inside the Import folder, import photos you need and trash what you don't need.
Regards.

You'll have to transfer them from the pc to the mac.
There are some options

Importing photos not taken with iPhone on the Mac

Hello everyone,
I would like to import my photos from iPhone - but those not taken WITH iPhone.
I'll explain: I have photos on my PC. I can sync them to the iPhone. I now would like to import these into iPhoto. Under Windows, I can import as soon as I plug in the phone or access its disk. How can I do the same in my Mac?
Thanks,
Beto.

You cannot import photos from the iPhone that were transferred to the iPhone from a computer via the iTunes sync process with a PC or a Mac. Photos transferred from a computer via the iTunes sync process is a one way transfer process only - from the computer to the iPhone. Photos transferred from a computer are optimized for viewing on the iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced on the iPhone, which is why the transfer of these photos in the opposite direction is not supported.
There are a number of other ways to transfer the full resolution photos from one computer to another.

IPhone 4 imported photo not showing on iMac

What has been happening lately is weird.
We have two iPhone 4 and we always import photo into our iMac with OS X 10.9.2. The iPhoto version is 9.5.1.
When we import the pictures these are not showing completely see screenshot.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Do you know how to solve it?
Thanks

Here is another picture after importing.

HT201317 Imported photos not being pushed to photo stream

I imported photos from a camera scan disk last night to my New iPad. The import using the connection kit is very easy, but the photos were not pushed to photo stream and it gives me no option of moving them manually in the photos app. I checked to make sure photo stream was on for both my iPad and iPhone 4s and powered both devices off and on then waited until morning but nothing has happened. ***All other photos have been pushed. I am only having problems w imports. Any advice?

Hi Gerard,
You are correct - my bad! Photos imported directly into the iPad via a connection kit should also go to the Photo Stream.....
I do find that sometimes folks expect this to happen faster than it sometimes does. Even photos taken with my iPhone will sometimes not show up in the on my iPad or Mac's Photo Stream for several hours, even when they are all on Wifi at home. Seems like sometimes they don't even start loading onto that device's Photo Stream until I wake it up....
But thanks for pointing that out. Don't like to give out bad info!
Cheers,
GB

Is there any way to import photos not in iPhoto?

Is there a way to drop or import photos from desktop to iWeb instead of using iPhoto in media browser?

Yes, drop the photos from the desktop to a iWeb Photopage. If you have an empty Album page, it will be automatically filled.

Importing photos not through iphoto

is there a way to import photos into imovie without going through iphotos?

is there a way to import photos into imovie without going through iphotos?
Sure, easier done than said... Simply grab the photo you want at the finder level, "Drag 'n Drop" it directly to your open project window, and you're done.

Imported Photos not showing up in Library of I-Photo

I am converting old slides on a Wolverine SNaP converter. The digital images show up in the "Last Import" window after importing them, and I can drag them into a folder I create, but when I go to the Library they aren't there. Does anybody have a similar experience? How can I get them to show up in the Library?

Thank you. I did find it. I am not familiar with the way things get organized in iphoto. I expected new photos to show up at the bottom of the library as they usually do. I still haven't found them when looking in the library itself but I did find them when looking at the events.

IPhoto 6.0.5 Crashes when opening after asking to import photos not in lib

Hi, I wonder if any one can help me with this. Each time i open iPhoto (6.0.5) I get a message stating "67 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library folder that were not imported. Would you like to import them?" if I click yes the program starts to import them then crashes. The next time I try to open the same message appears this time saying 96 photos have been found. Occasionally it will produce a dialogue box stating that some of the photos are duplicates and I check the box to same don't import but it the crashes in the same way. If I click no to the import iPhoto opens fine.
I have already tried doing a full rebuild of the cache and a repair of the disk permissions but the same problem occurs. Obviously the simplest solution is just to click no but is there any way of finding these photos in my Library and deleting them?
Black MacBook 2GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB DDR2 SDRAM OS 10.4.7

Hi! Here's what I think is happening:
- A bad image or file in those 67 photos is causing iPhoto to crash.
- iPhoto, when it is trying to import, puts those photos in a temporary folder while it organizes the photos into the Originals folder by year and roll, creates thumbnails and does general tasks.
- Every time it encounters the bad file, it crashes and leaves the import unfinished. On relaunch, it wants to start importing again.
You have to break the cycle and hopefully find the bad image file. Go into your iPhoto Library and look for a folder called "Import". Remove that folder, or iPhoto will keep trying to import from it. You can manually attempt to import those 67 photos later, to identify the bad file.

How can I import photo notes from Canon Zoombrowser to iPhoto?

Hi all,
I used Canon Zoombrowser on various PCs before recently changing to a Mac, and have years' worth of photos all painstakingly annotated using the Notes field in Zoombrowser. When I import these photos to iPhoto there is no sign of the content of the Notes field. (In an ideal world, I guess it would automatically appear in the Description field.)
I know the Notes field info is stored with the .jpg file, as it's there when I copy photos to other PCs and view them using Zoombrowser. Just wondering if anyone else has faced this problem, and what to do to fix it? Don't want to lose years' worth of notes!
Thanks
Anna

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
I have never heard of Cannon Zoombrowser - in doing a google search on it it appears to be a proprietary program for processing movies
iPhoto works with photo standards - if the date is in industry standard EXIF or IPTC fields - http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/imagedatabases/iptc_naa.html - they are correctly processed in iPhoto - if they are in non standard fields then iPhoto will not handle them
So the answer is that it depends on if Cannon Zoombrowser handles the data in a standard way or not

Imported photos not showing thumbnails

I'm brand spankin' new to iMovie and can't seem to get my photo thumbnails to show.
I want to drag and drop folders into iMovie but when I do, all I get is a generic icon and no thumbnail of the image.,
They do show up when I preload them into iPhoto and then open iMovie, but I've got thousands of images and I'm not going to be loading them into iPhoto because iPhoto takes up so much space when you import images (about 2mb per image).
So, is there a way to get these thumbnails to show up? The images are jpg and CR2 and both worked with iPhoto, but not a direct import.
Thanks for any help!!
Brian

Check your camera date - typically this is due to the event sorting in to an expected place due to incorrect the incorrect dates
