Incorrect subfolder dates when importing photos from camera

I installed the trial version of Photoshop Elements 10 on my iMac a few days ago to try it out. When I import photos from a camera (I have tried with 2 different cameras) in Photoshop Elements Organizer, I am asked to select a naming format for the subfolders. I select "Shot Date (yyyy mm dd)", but no matter what, I always get folders with strange dates eg. 1913 11 05, 1970 06 10. The photos themselves within the subfolders have the right dates, so I am not sure where the problem is.
Can someone help?
Thanks

Make sure your prefs are set to date shot - there are a number of choices.
Open the Organizer and click Edit à Preferences à Camera or Card Reader
Choose your setting from the dropdown menu and click OK.

Incorrect file name when importing pictures from camera

I am using PE 10 on Mac Snow Leopard.
When I import pictures from my camera and select "Rename Files" with "Custom Date" + "Shot Date" (any format), the file name includes the custom name correctly, but the date part of the file name is some random date (with a weird year: 1913, 1969). Note the example shown on the Photo Downloader is usually the one used. The shot date in the meta data is usually correct. This appears to be similar to a problem when using the "Create Subfolder" option.
Any ideas why or a work-around?
I was using PE 8 and did not have this problem.

Hi dannrendon2,
Have you successfully run the PSE10_Hot.dmg file? You will not see any change in PSE10 or PhotoDownloader , it is just for fixing the issue of incorrect date format .
Please follow all the steps mentioned in KB article link mentioned above. Finally when you installed the updater there would be a message of successful installation .
If there is a failure in your updating process [In your case it is second attempt of updation, there may be a failure] , uninstall your application , check if there is any residual file in application folder under Elements Organizer or Photoshop Elements (delete them). Now again install PSE10 and try to update PSE10_HotFix.dmg updater. There should be a successfully completed message.
Thanks,
Nizam

Help - sporadic corrupted data when importing photos from iPhoto

I am importing photos for a slide show, and every once in a while (frequency varies but sometimes as much as every other photo), I have a strange problem. Several frames will just be mixed up colors, nothing discernible at all, as if some of the data has been corrupted. Re-importing the photos usually solves the problem so I don't think it is any problem with specific photos. Any ideas? Thanks!
Using iMovie HD 6.0.2, all other software is also up to date per Software Update

ok, next idea:
you're using an iBook => harddrive space is limited...
tell us, how much free space is on your hd...
you shouldn't "overcrowd" your drive, 80% filled should be max,
because all apps use widely socalled "temp-files" - never seen in Finder, but neccessary (you probably have heard of that rule: iDVD needs 10 - 15GB to work smoothly...)

When importing photos from camera to Ipad 2, they used to import into date "folders" now folders named 112imprt etc, how do i change it back?

not sure what I did, would really like to change it back, also even though the location is on for pics it is not tagging them.
I am using the camera Kit
thanks

On 4.3.5 with the CCK I get a Last Import and All Imported Albums, and Events with an 'album' per date (with the event having the date as its name). There is no setting that I know of.

Importing photos from Camera to computer

Hi all,
With the old version of Iphoto, when importing photos from the camera, the original files were automaticaly organized in the picture folder according the captures dates and times: separate folders for years, months and days.
When importing using the newer version, the photos will only be organized according the roll name and the "created date" of the file is the time of importation and not the time of capture any more. So now I have to make all the organizing of original files manually !
Does any one know if this is normal, and if what I can do to change this ?
Any help is welcome.

Hi.
Yes, this is perfectly normal. With version 6 iPhoto is organized by Film Rolls. There is no way to change it, as this is the fundamental organization of the iPhoto Library.
If you are concerned that you won't be able to find your photos, rest assured that iPhoto makes it easy. You can:
*drag and drop to another application or your desktop
*Right-click (control-click) and select "Show File." A Finder window will open with the file selected
*File> Export> File Export for use outside of iPhoto. Best practice when uploading to a website or creating a list of jpegs to have printed at a photo developer.
And to find your photos by date, try the little calendar icon near the lower left corner of the iPhoto window. You can pull up photos from a given year, month, and/or day with just a few clicks.
If you don't like the organization of your Film Rolls, you can reorganize them. Just be sure to do this from iPhoto, and NEVER from inside the Finder. Once your Rolls are organized to your liking, you will only have to file new imports into your system. The rolls you create will be reflected in the iPhoto Library folder structure you see in Finder. This gives you more control over how your photos are stored compared with previous versions of iPhoto.

After downloading yosemite, can't import photos from camera to iPhoto

After downloading Yosemite 10.10.1 to my Macbook Air, I can't import photos from camera to iPhoto. Had no problem before. It recognizes camera and says loading, but it never does load photos.

That's the latest version.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

IPhoto suddenly quit while importing photos from camera unable to import photos from camera

iPhoto suddenly quit while importing photos from camera unable to import photos from camera that were imported before iPhoto quit. Photos are still on the camera however iPhoto only "sees" the photos that were not imported on this computer. I can connect to my other mac and see all the photos. This has happened before and I wanted to learn how to deal with this problem. Thanks Ed

I am using a MacBook Pro OS 10.9.2, iPhoto 9.5.1 connected via usb to a Canon G12. I have had this issue before when importing photos. I can work around by using my other Mac and download the photos. I believe that there maybe a setting on the Mac that prevents duplicating photo downloads that may be preventing me from seeing these photos stored in the camera memory although I can view them on the camera.

When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture....

When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture 3 it shows two versions of each image. One is original and one is iphoto edited. It shows this for every picture even if it was never edited in iphoto. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is so, what image should I use to edit in iphoto?

This is asked and covered a lot here, a search of the list will bring up numerous other threads covering this. Also the More Like This box on the right side of the page will show you other posts on this topic.
This post, Duplicates when importing from iPhoto is the most recent example.
Briefly iPhoto took even the most trivial change to an image as an edit and created a new image. The most common reason for this is rotated images.
As for which image of the two you want to keep, that's entirely up to you. If there is really no difference between the two then you can keep either it makes no difference.
The thread I linked to above will explain how to use Aperture's filters to gather up all of one or the other.

When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the library and in Photostream.

When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the iPhoto library and in Photostream. It has no apparent pattern, the photos are just blank. It's not just icons, when I go to edit the photos externally in Photoshop it opens an image filled with nothing but black.
This is more than annoying. It's effectively deleting photos I'm taking on vacation and so forth.
Anyone?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

How do i import photos from camera without iPhoto

how do i import photos from camera without iPhoto

You can import pictures from the device using Image Capture:
Connect the iOS device to the computer.
If Image Capture does not open automatically, you can navigate to your Applications folder and open Image Capture from there.
Choose the location to which you'd like to import pictures.
Click Options.
Click the Options tab if it isn't already selected.
Enable the option "Delete items from camera after downloading".
Note: Deleting photos after importing helps to reduce Camera Roll size, and it improves backup and restore times. You may choose Keep Photos if you wish to import the photos to additional computers.
Click OK.
Click Download All.
If you have Aperture, you can use it to import your photos. See the Aperture User Guide for more information.

Image Capture sends error message when importing photos from my camera

I tried to import photos from my Fuji FinePix JX600 using Iphoto. Received an error notice and was unable to import. Tried Image Capture and it imported 220 of 407 pictures and then sent an error notice. Very frustrated. It's a new camera and I never had any problem with my old camera. Can anyone tell me what the issue may be and how to resolve it?
Thanks

Good afternoon
There seem to be a number of possibilities.
Here is a thread that conatins a number of solutions. The most common one is to load 50 pics at a time.

Wrong date when importing video from AVCHD

Hi,
I encountered a problem with the new Photos application: when importing photos and videos from my camera (Sony α5000, fairly recent), the dates of the videos are all wrong. In fact, all videos have the same date as the AVCHD directory on the SD card, instead of using the corresponding clip file date. I checked with iPhoto, and the app put the correct date on the file.
Could you fix this bug? Or is there a better place I could submit the bug to?

Welcome to the family, Shane's material will get you started.
Also, search the forums for Nikon, DSLR, and related terms. You also need to read the manual that came with the Nikon, it clearly explains the codec in use. There are literally millions of Nikon and Canon DSLR video geeks out there and they support each other's efforts on the manufacturers' supprot sites as well as hundreds of other forums. You will find may more Nikon shooters who use FCP on Nikon forums than you will find FCP users who use Nikons here.

How do I extract original photo date when importing photos?

Hi,
I am trying to import photos from a backup CD of pictures that I created in August. However, when I import them into iPhoto, the date that gets associated with the photo is the August date of the CD creation instead of the original photo date.
I can see the original date of the photo image file, and I want that to be the date that iPhoto uses to organize the photos.
Is there any preference I can set to extract the date information from the image data itself and NOT from the date stamp on the CD file?
Thanks!
Jason

Please don't take the following as a flame...
<quote>The move option is grayed out when importing from a card to save you from yourself. At least that's what I've always assumed.</quote>
That's a bit draconian don't you think? Why have the option greyed out if you don't want the user to be able to do this. It's kind of like saying hahah, this is possible to do, but, you, the user, are a moron. Why even place the option on the page in the first place.
<quote>It just happens to be a bug that few on this forum care to see fixed because most of us feel that using it is unwise due to the danger of lost images and corrupted cards.</quote>
Again, why put it on page as an option if it weren't intended to be enabled in a plist somewhere for those who wish to be 'unwise.'
My logic is as follows: If Apple provides software that is more accessible to the 'unwashed masses' (because it's included with Leopard ie. Image Capture) and it deletes images directly from the camera, then why would a professional package (Aperture) limit the so called 'professional' from designing and using his/her own workflow governed by their own experience. Which could include first a backup to dvd or other device of your choice (keyword here: CHOICE) THEN import images and delete directly from the camera. Logically this is completely BACKWARDS, the app available to the 'masses'(Image Capture) should NOT let the user delete images directly from the camera and the 'professional' app (Aperture) should allow more flexibility for the advanced user who understands the implications of his/her work flow and adjusts accordingly.
Besides, And I quote myself "I have searched the forums here and have only seen people offer advice why this is not good. Not to be an A##, but I don't want advice. I need an answer to my question. How do I enable this functionality?"
Therefore, respectfully, your answer is: non sequitur.
Best Regards
