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.

I imported my pictures into iPhoto and they were all there. I checked again a few minutes later and they weren't all there. What should I do?

I need to import my pictures to iPhoto, and I imported my camera roll. It was all good and all the pictures were uploaded and then I checked again a few minutes later and they weren't all there. What should I do?

Get a flashlight and see if there is something stuck in the iPhone jack you can remove and do so if you can.
If not, make a Genius Bar appointment at your neares Apple Store. Backup your iphone before you go.

How do I import my pictures to PS from iPhoto

iPhoto and Adobe do not play well together. Most advise you use one or the other, but not both. iPhoto puts your picturese in a hidden packet, so if you import image you will just get thumbnail. There are way around this but complicated. Try a google search for iphoto to photoshop.

How to import RAW picture in iPhoto with a Panasonic Lumix FZ38?

I know that the lumix FZ38 is not supported at this time (iPhoto and Aperture), i used the Adobe DNG Converter 5.6 but i can´t import the DNGs into iPhoto/Aperture, but Lightroom and Photoshop can.
What can i do to import DNG to iPhoto??????

This may be related to an issue with the recent Camera Raw update. Have a look at this thread from the aperture forum:

Importing rotated pictures from iphoto

Hello everyone. I'm a new mac user and I am in love with my new mac. I'm mainly using it for the imovie application. I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer...
Does anyone know how to take a rotated picture, pull it into imovie and then have it stay rotated instead of reverting back to the sideways nature it originally was? I would appreciate anyones help.
I took pictures off of my pc and imported them from a cdr. Some of the pictures were taken sideways. Im able to rotate them in iphoto, but when I drag them into imovie they go back to being sideways.

Welcome to the forums.
One option would be to Export the photos from iPhoto (they should reflect your rotations) and then import to iMovie. If this is all you're doing in iPhoto, you could also use Preview to handle the rotations.

Cannot import any pictures into iPhoto 5

A customer has an iMac/G5/1.8Gig running 10.3.9 and iPhoto 5.x. All worked fine until a few weeks ago, when it would not accept any jpg's that she would try to import into her library. I have removed all her pictures from the library, trashed all prefs, caches and settings, basically starting fresh. I try to bring in her old iPhoto pics, jpgs, whatever, but I get an error for every single item. I can open all these pics in picture viewer fine. I have run Diskwarrior and fixed premissions, no change. I even created a new user account and tried, same thing.
HELP!!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 256 MB RAM

Julie:
Where are those pictures located when you're attempting to import into iPhoto? Are they physically located inside the iPhoto Library folder? If so then that's the problem. iPhoto will import any file that's inside its folder. Move them to the desktop and try importing again.
Do you Twango?
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 written an Automator workflow application, 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar

How to import RAW picture in iPhoto

Hi,
I've just switched my Lumix Fz-18 format from jpeg to raw and I suddenly found out that iPhoto can't import those pics...When I plug it, iPhoto sees the pictures but when I click "import all" it gives me back an error message (sort of unreadable files)...What can I do?

The Raw format for every model of camera is different, and each model has to be supported individually. At this time the FZ-18 is not supported. The list of cameras currently supported is here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825
Let Apple know you want your camera supported:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
Alternatives include processing the Raws with the software that came with your camera and exporting the results as tiff or jpeg and importing those, or converting the Raw to DNG with Adobe's Camera Raw and trying to import them.

I can't import my pictures into iPhoto?

Normally I just plug in my phone or camera, go to iPhoto, and hit import, but as of today it won't work. Earlier today I plugged in my iPhone 4, and it wouldn't let me import my photos. Thinking it was just my phone being slow I unplugged it and went on with my day. And now tonight (after being at a family party) I plugged my camera into my computer, but it won't let me import those photos either! I've never had this problem before and am wondering if anybody has any ideas as to what's wrong? Thanks!

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 or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

If I import my pictures to iPhoto from an external HDD, does it mean I have 2 sets of the pictures?

If I import a folder from my external hdd to iPhoto library, does it mean I can remove the HDD, and I have 2 copy of folder?
And if the folder is 10gb in my HDD, does it also took 10gb in the Mac HDD after import to iPhoto?

Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

How do I transfer a multiple number of my edited pictures from iPhoto on my iPad to iPhoto on my mac?

I have been working on my ipad with iphoto. First I transferred the pictures from my SD card with connection kit and then I started to edit a lot of them. Now i need to transfer them back to my mac. I would like to continue manage them in Iphoto on the mac but I can not find the option. When I import the pictures via Iphoto or aperture the pictures transfers without the changes I made on the Ipad. I've also tried the command "Send to Itunes" but nothing happens. Do I really need to convert every edited picture to the camera roll ONE BY ONE and then sync the normal way? And I need them with no loss of quality because I want to print a book later. Please help.

There is no link between iPhoto (or Aperture) on your Mac and the app on iOS. So you'll need to export from the iOS app and then import to your preferred app on the Mac. For details on that:

How do I move the pictures from iphoto to my desktop?

I just imported my pictures to iphoto but am trying to put them on a website. How do i do that?

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Is there a way to remove the extended phot info attached to a picture in iphoto?

I imported some pictures into iphoto, and they have extended info attached, like my location. Is there a way to remove it?

Hi Fiona,
Okay, the 4th parameter is the issue.
There are four options:
0 = OK (will not have an 'x')
1 = OK, Cancel (will have an 'x')
2 = Yes, No (will not have an 'x')
3 = Yes, No, Cancel (will have an 'x')
Where you do not include a cancel button (0 or 2) then there wont be an 'x':
However where you do include a cancel button (1 or 3) then there will be an 'x':
There wont be a workaround here (afaik), as the messagebox is driven by the OS, eg is automatically appears different on a Mac verses a Windows machine.
Good luck,
Niall

Can't import any images into iPhoto

Hello,
I am on my honeymoon and trying to offload pictures from my camera but have found that I can not import any pictures into iPhoto. I am unable to import any file, not just the ones on my camera. I have tried jpgs, gifs, and pngs from various sources and none of them import.
So far I have tried holding down option and creating a new library, deleting the plists, rebooting, and reapplying the latest iPhoto update. Does anyone else have suggestions for me to try?

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.
