Importing Nikon d80 jpeg into iPhoto.

When I import jpeg photos from my d80 Nikon, I have an alert poping up telling me that it can't find DSC_0001.NEF, and you need to click several time on cancel for each photo you import into iphoto. A real nightmare. Running Tiger on Powerbook Pro. Version of iPhoto is 06. All updates have been done.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
I've seen this issue noted in cases of a damaged Library database. To test for this:
Create a new Library (hold down the option (or alt) key and a launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue select 'Create Library'. Try import a few pics to the new library, does the problem occur there?
If not then to fix your old Library:
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.

I have scanned photos using an Epson V500 scanner set to scan using jpeg format at the highest quality (least compression) setting. When I try to import the scanned jpegs into iPhoto, I get an error message from iPhoto saying "The file is an unrecognized format." But if I reduce the quality setting on the Epson scanner to just slightly below highest quality, the images import into iPhoto just fine. Why won't iPhoto accept jpegs scanned at the highest quality setting? Wondering?

What scanner format settings dis you use? Are these color photos? If they are B/W did you scan as grayscale images? That could be the problem.
Are you able to open them with Preview? If so do a Save As, select full quality and save as a jpeg with a new file name. See if that file will import and work as intended.

As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto. Never before had a problem. (it is the version prior to iPhoto 11--all Apple software is UTD)

As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto '08. Never before had a problem. I sent a request to Nikon for help and they referred me back to Apple. Help, if possible, please.

As the photos imported to the test library you know that it works with your version of iPhoto (so, you can skip the paranoia about Apple making you upgrade). The issue then is the Library, so
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 <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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 *iPhoto 08* 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.

My iPhone 4s is not importing my latest photos into iPhoto, though it opens iPhoto as if it were going to do it.

My iPhone 4s is not importing my latest photos into iPhoto, though it opens iPhoto as if it were going to do it. When I plug my iPhone into my iMac, it opens iPhoto, but then it does not import my newest photos. Any fixes? This used to work fine.

Re: To those with iPhone not showing up on iPhoto...
Sep 13, 2007 3:41 AM (in response to jared57)
I have experienced the exact same thing... I figured out a way around it, which seems to work every time. 1. quit iTunes
2. open iPhoto
3. unplug the iphone usb cable from the computer
4. turn your phone on, and unlock it.
5. plug in the usb cable. after about 10 seconds or so, iPhoto should prompt you with items to import. -p

How can I import pictures from aperture into iPhoto

Since moving to mountain lion OSX, I can't find a way for importing pictures from aperture into iphoto. There used to ba a tab under archive in iPhoto where you could view the aperture library and select pictures to import them into iPhoto. This tab has diappeared. Could anyone tell me how it's done now?

I noticed indeed that you can change the library under "archive" in iPhoto but when I choose aperture library I can't find the same structure of albums as in aperture.
Sorry I don't understand this. What is "archive"?

Raw into Aperture, Jpeg into iPhoto

If i shoot a combo of RAW and jpeg is it possible to divide the export, WAW going into aperture and Jpeg into iPhoto. I know i could pull them of the card manually, but i was wondering if i could make the programs do this when i put my card into the reader
thanks

Like Beverly,I don't own Aperture,but have looked at it.
Apparently the jpegs are hidden when grouped with RAW.Please see this link in the Aperture forum to get you started:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1637709#1637709
There are several more threads in the Aperture forum which may answer more questions as well.
Good luck,

IMPORTING NEF (RAW) IMAGES INTO iPHOTO 6 FROM NIKON D80

I have just got my self a Nikon D80 and find that I cannon import the NEF(RAW) images into iphoto6 - the files are not recognised - if I shoot in jpeg format it is fine
Bit of a disappointment as I was really excited to see what the ophotos would come out like! I have not imported the software that came with the camera - but I didnt think that was necessary.
Any help gratefully received

David
What kind of computer do you have? What version of the OS? What version of iPhoto? Have you applied the RAW updates from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads?

I always imported my SD cards into iPhoto. Now it doesn't work with the cards from my new Nikon D7100 camera. What to do?

I have an iMac OS x 10.6.8 and always used iPhoto with good success, importing images including RAW format from my Nikon D40 into iPhoto. Since I bought a new Nikon D7100 camera I cannot upload the RAW images from its SC cards. Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

Apple occasionally releases software updates to include RAW formats for newer cameras, but apparently, OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard (assuming the OS shown in your profile is indeed the one you're using) does not support the Nikon D7100 RAW format:
Mac OS X v10.6: Supported digital camera RAW formats
Upgrading to at least OS X 10.7 Lion would apparently fix that problem.
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06
Same for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats
If your iMac can run it OS X Mavericks: System Requirements, OS X Mavericks 10.9 is a free download upgrade, and it also supports the Nikon D7100 RAW format: OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats

Importing TIFF files (Portrait) into iPhoto '11

Since upgrading from iLife '09 to iLife '11, I can't import portrait photos in TIFF format into iPhoto! JPEG versions work fine but as most of my photos are TIFF I'm left with a lot of photos that I can't see/use. Landscape photos are fine.
I'm using a Nikon D300 camera. I have 2 iMacs and a Mac Book - all running Mac OS X vers. 10.6.8 - and they all have the same problem.

I had a similar problem, which I suspect is going to be off little help if trying to get photos into the mac from a camera.
I had all my pics on a USB drive external to my old windows machine. When I moved to a mac I started to import into iPhoto 11. The only images I could not load were portrait tiff files, all of which have an Orientation: 8 (Rotated 90° CW) setting as oposed to Orientation: 1 (Normal).
Fortunately I have Photoshop which will open them, so open and save as does the trick. I suspect there's a setting in the camera to turn off auto rotation which is what I'll try next before I try to load my next set.
I'm using a D300s so if I can solve this it should work for the D300 also.

Importing raw images (.CR2) into iPhoto'08

I am trying to import 17Gb worth of raw (.CR2) images from an external hard drive as JPEGs, but in iPhoto I find I have to import them first before I convert them to JPEGs. Does anyone know how I can import them into iPhoto as JPEGs or tell me of a software that can convert them without importing the photos first? (Keep in mind that this software needs to be *leopard friendly*.)
Thanks, Supernova329

Supernova329:
There is a way to batch convert the cr2 raw files to jpgs with the demo version of iView MediaPro. Launch iVMP and import your folder(s) of raw files. Then select a folders worth of file and use the Action->Convert Image files menu option. In the settings select JPG as the format, Size=use image size, Settings=color =best, and Resolution=use image resolution. Then hit the Convert button and pick or create a new folder to put them in.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

No - But I believe that with preview you can save them as JPEGs

Import jpgs or psd into iphoto for calendar

I have 12 psd files. I want to make them into a calendar using iPhoto's capability. do I need to "save as" jpg in Photoshop first and import the jpgs into iPhoto?

No. iPhoto can handle psd files as well as jpgs, tiff, pngs and some others.
FWIW:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

Importing photos from ZoomBrowser into iPhoto without losing keywords and star ratings

I have been using Canon's ZoomBrowser EX on my Windows Vista laptop. I have just bought a MacBook Air running Lion. I would like to import all of my photos to iPhoto, but when I do this I lose all of the keywords and star ratings I have associated with my many photos. Is there any way to import the photos into iPhoto while retaining the keywords and star ratings so that I can use them in iPhoto? Doing this manually would be impractical due to the large number of photos involved.
Thanks.
- Charlie

Keywords:
Iphoto can certainly import them if they are written to the correct fields of the standard metadata. They key question is can your Windows app write them to the files?
Ratings
There's no real way to share ratings via standard metadata, but if you can write the keywods, then you can quickly tag the pics with simple keywords (1star, 2star) and when imported to iPhoto recreate your rating system.
So, the question is really about your existing software and what it can do.

Importing images from ipod into iPhoto

I installed the iPhoto 9.2 update as part of the OSX10.7.2 and am now when I try import my pictures that are stored on my iPod Touch only my Mac shows up. The iPod used to show so I could import the images stored on it, but now that option doesn't exist, it's just the Mac.
Am I doing something wrong here? Has the process changed? Do I have to activate Photostream just to import the pics locally?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having the same problem importing pics into iphoto 9.2 from my iphone. Photostream isn't working in the country I'm in (China) but when I connect the phone manually, it doesn't show up in iphoto...
Also tried the image capture program (which maybe you could try molotovmouse...) but that also doesn't recognise the iphone...and yes it is unlocked...
apple can't have removed the capability to import photos manually with a cable...can they?? especially as photo stream has not worked for me at all, and it is extremely limited anyway...
