Imported photos slow to appear in iphoto for upload by other applications

I've noticed a lag in photos being available for import from iphoto (via Safari or Chrome).
The photos are being imported from an iphone 5.
It takes several minutes and several restarts of iphoto before I can see the imported photos in my iphoto library.

Sounds like your database file has been damaged.
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 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.
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 Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
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 on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll 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.

  • If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

    If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

    No. They will remain on the Mac. That's one of the reasons why it's a good idea to import your treasured photos. If something happens to the iPad, you still have your photos.

  • Imported photos are not appearing in iPhoto...

    Beginning in late August, all of my newly imported photos are not showing up in iPhoto.  However, I see them within the iPhoto directory.  Everything imported prior to late August is just as it should be.  Does anyone know the cause of this and how to fix it?  Thanks!

    Damaged database.
    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 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 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. .

    why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto?  Within iMovie, it appears as though videos can be imported from the iPhoto library.  However, within iPhoto there are no videos that appear within the Library.  Is it possible to import photos into iPhoto from a shared photo stream?  if not, how can videos be imported into iPhoto?

    Sounds more like a problem with your Display Resolution than iPhoto.
    Go to: Apple / System Preferences / Displays and in the Resolutions list select,
    1280 x 800 if you have a 13" MacBook Pro
    1400 x 900 if you have a 15" MacBook Pro
    1920 x 1200 if you have a 17" Macbook Pro

  • When importing photo's into Apperture via iPhoto Browser I get 2 Versions of the master import as opposed to just one?

    When importing photo's into Apperture via iPhoto Browser I get 2 Versions of the master as opposed to just one?
    Why is this?
    Are there two master photo's?

    When you import to Aperture using this method you get all the versions that iPhoto has - Mster and Edited  version. If you haven't edited the photo then tow possibilities:
    A: the photo is Raw and you'e gettting the automatic preview that iPhoto creates on import as well
    B: The shot has an auto-rotate tag from the camera

    can I use the Music of Iphoto for uploading diashows in youtube ? Or can i get in trouble because of license ?

    This question comes up from time to time. YouTube and Facebook are both wrong.
    There are a number of con-men who think that they can earn a quick buck from claiming that they own the copyright to Apple’s royalty-free jingles and sound effects included with the iLife applications. These are all free to use, as clearly stated in section 2.C of the iLife Software License Agreement:
    “You may use the Apple and third party audio content (“Audio Content”) contained in or otherwise included with the Apple software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks for your video and audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual samples, sound sets, or audio content may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound files, sound effects or music beds.”

  • HT1229 How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto?  The size of my imported photos are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB.  Any suggestions appreciated.

    How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto?  The size of my imported photos from my camera are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB.   Scanned copies of older photographs with a size of 100 to 500 KB work very well.  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

    File -> Export and make your choices in the Export dialogue.
    Jpeg Quality and Size will have most effect on file size. Note that 'Size' refers to the pixel dimensions of the photo.

  • Photos no longer appear in iPhoto and I can't re-import them

    So about a month ago I opened up iPhoto to use some of my pictures for a project I was working on. To my chagrin and horror I discovered my 1800+ pics were not there. The bar at the bottom of the window said no photos, no nothin. I opened my pictures folder in Finder and, luckily, all of them were still intact and viewable through Preview. However, every time I try to put the photos back into iPhoto I can't put them back into iPhoto I get the message that my pictures are unrecognizable, and they are all .jpgs. I had not imported any new photos between the last time iPhoto worked correctly and when everything was gone, but I think i did a software update. On a strangely coincidental side note, the same thing happened to a buddy of mine at nearly the same time on a MacBook a little older than mine. Tried everything I know and now I turn to you, the trusty Mac Community.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Why do only some of the photos I would like to import from my ipad2 appear in iphoto?

    A friend of mine shared some photos via photostream so that I can edit them into a movie. I selected all the photos that were shared and added them to my camera roll on my ipad2. After connecting my ipad2 to my macbook pro via usb, iphoto opens up and displays the pictures that I am allowed to import when devices(ipad) is selected. I only see some of the photos available for import. What happend to all the photos from my camera roll? Why aren't they available to import? I also noticed all my other photos on the camera roll, besides the ones saved from the photo stream, are not showing.

    If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days.  After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted.  Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
    To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi.

  • When opening iPhoto 9.5.1 a dialog box appears: "A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported". "Would you like to import it?" After appearing twice iPhoto then opens normally with no changes and works OK. Why dose this happen.

    Unwanted dialog box when opening iPhoto.

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.
