1. Are you importing the pics to the NTFS drive? I don't think OS X plays well withthat format.

I imported some pictures from my cameras memory card to iPhoto and now i want to transfer them back to memory card

I just got my iMac and I just wanted to copy some pictures from my camera's memory card to my computer. turns out 'importing pictures' meant totaly removing the pictures from my memory card. How can I transfer the pictures back to my memory card?
More info:
I used Dynex Compact Memory Card Reader and put my memory card in it to connect to the usb plug
I have a Canon Camera
I am using iPhoto

Hi.
FYI and future reference, importing pictures does not have to mean removing them from the memory card or camera.
When you plug in a memory card and open iPhoto to import your pictures, there will be a dialog box that opens and asks if you'd like to "Keep" the imported photos on the card, or delete them.
Apparently you selected the option to delete them.
In any case, in order to move them back to the card, you *should* be able to plug the card into your Dynex reader, after which the card should mount and display on the desktop. Then, open iPhoto and simply drag the photos from there and into the memory card.
You may need to recreate the file and folder structure on the card so the camera can find the files when you wish to view them.
I hope this is helpful.

IPhoto fail to import some pictures

Hi,
Just came back from a long vacation with around 600 pictures (I have a Nikon D70). After importing all of them directly in to the iPhoto application, it gives me the following error message, for 126 specified photos: ”unreadable files - the following file could not be imported”
All the rest of the pictures have been imported sucessfully as usual.
I have tried to put the JPGs that can not be imported on my desktop and I can see them fine in the preview program. However, when trying to import them into the iPhoto application from the desktop, I get the same error message. The relevant pictures have not been added to the iPhoto library in the finder either, so that can not be the cause for the error message
Can anyone tell me how I would be able to get these ”lost” pictures into my iPhoto???

Hi,
I have just purchased a Nikon D70S myself and have tried importing my photo's into iPhoto. I get the same error as you - iPhoto fails to import some photo's and I get the same error message. Have you been able to reslove this or does anyone know the answer?

Cannot import some pictures: reported as corrupted

I receive family pictures from my brother. He uses Photoshop. Some JPEG pictures are reported to be "corrupted" and won't import to iPhoto 08, most will. If I put them through my Photoshop Elements and make them PNG, twice the size, but then they will import.
Why can't iPhoto 'read' the pictures, yet Preview and Photoshop Elements 4 can? I'd sure like to use iPhoto, heck... it's kind of nifty. But at this rate, it's getting a bit annoying with having to rebuild the database thumbnails (black thumbnails) all of the time.
Primarily, the issue is not being able to import some JPEGs, however.

ringhome
Just try opening the files in Preview and then saving them as jpeg - then try import. This issue can arise because PS sometimes adds metadata that iPhoto can' deal with.
The Black thumbnails can be caused by importing greyscale images - iPhoto supports RGB only. If that's not the issue and the problem is persistent then check your HD for minor errors using Disk Utility.

Iphoto 8.1.2 start with a wrong request to import some pictures that don't exist

Hello
I've got a problem when start iphoto 8.1.2: the monitor displays a request about import but don't finds the pictures

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.

Did you delete the receipts before reinstalling?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

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 <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 6* 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.

After import from Iphoto some pictures are of very low quality. The original file in Iphoto is very good.

Final cut Express
I imported several pictures by using Iphoto. Some of them, not all, are of very low quality even if the original file is of a very good quality.

It sounds as though you may have imported the thumbnails but I can't imagine how.
It all depends on what you mean by very low quality.
Your iPhoto pictures will be around 4,000x3,000 pixels but when they are imported into a standard def timeline they will be around 720x540 which is a tremendous reduction.
They should still look OK but not as good as the brilliant hi-res originals.

Hello,
I am using version iPhoto'11. Since I installed this version I experience some difficulties. After importation of pictures I can see the pictures under Library/Pictures but not under Library/Events. However I can see the event with the event title, the number of pictures and the pictures itselve as small thumbnails. BUt ounce I want to open the event to see the pictures in full screen the event title annouces 0 pictures and no pictures are visble anymore to mee. I have checked if the pictures are marked as hidden and this is not the case. What's going wrong. All the other events are visible in a normal way.
The albums with the same pictures into them are visible.
Thanks for your help,
Raf

Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, 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 the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.

After Update to iPhoto 9.4.3 some pictures shown black

I'm working in a iMac with OSX 10.9.5. I've just updated my iPhoto with a newer version of iLife 11 to iPhoto 9.4.3 step by step as described here from Old Todd: running 10.9.5 OS X and iLife 11, now can't use iPhoto The capacity of the iPhoto library is around 180 GB with around 25.000 Objects. First everything seems to be fine. I could see all rolls, albums, calendar etc. But than i discovered, that in some cases, I could see the thumbnails but when I do a double click on it, I can only see a totally black frame. When I'm going to export that frame and look for the result, the original picture was exported correctly.
So, I tried to repair permissions and rebuild database. But this won't fix it. Than I tried to recreate thumbnails. After that, she the application is still open, everything seems to be fixed. But when I quit the application and open-up again, the same problem appears. Sometimes I can see the pictures for a second and they seemed to be squeezed somehow. What can I do? Any idea?
Thanks for helping.

I suggest that you read Terence's post in this thread and try the fixes he suggests

Re: After Update to iPhoto 9.4.3 some pictures shown blackin response to frank251 | This helped me
There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Moving photos from photostream to your library just imports them, it doesn't remove it from photostream, therefore photostream won't disappear.
Photos in photostream can't be edited, you can only edit photos that have been imported from photostream.

Iphoto 9 won't let me import jpg files. more. My child imported some pics off my camera to another user account on my Mac, but when I try to import them on my account, I get a

I am trying to import some jpg pics off my camera to iphoto. (Version 9). I am doing nothing different than I did the last time I imported them to iphoto. I only have about 250 pictures on my computer, so I know it's not full. The only thing that was done different was that my child imported them to another account on the computer. I have since moved them to my account with the sharing feature. I formatted my camera's memory card, and took about 3 pictures. Even those pictures I still get the error: The following files are in an unrecognizable format. Can someone please help??

Incorrect importation of picture in Iphoto

Hi, When I try to import library from my previous labtop some picture are incorrectly imported. Meaning that the size of the picture is changed (image cutted).
For example here is the original picture imported with a jpeg format
And here is the picture imported in Iphoto. I tried to import by drop picture from finder to Iphoto or by the menu File->import to library but the result is alwas the same
I'm really disapointed I can't understand that Iphoto can corrupt file when an import is done... this is really a basic function !
If someone know how to solve this issue, please let me know...

A damaged preference file can cause an application to do all sorts of wierd things. To see if it's a damaged pref file try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: 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.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Iphoto won't import my pictures from CD or DVD

I've spent all day trying to import all my photos from my G5 iMac to the new MBP but so some reason it won't let me "import to Library". All the photos show up then I click FILE - IMPORT TO LIBRARY - iPhoto Library - import. It reads "unreadable Files" the following file could not be imported (the file is in iPhoto Library folder). I've been racking my brain all day and I can't face calling up Apple care for an hour of stress. I also tried loading some pictures through my Sony T1 camera and the USB don't seem to accept. This is all working perfect with my G5 iMac so is their a problem because its the latest version of OS X ?
Help me please....
Paul.

What format are the original images - jpg gif bmp ?
Try opening iPhoto and then drag the image files individually into the iPhoto window to Import ?
In iPhoto/Preferences/Advanced, have you checked "Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to Library" ?
And, there seems to be a problem with that camera/OSX ...
