IPhoto 08 will no longer import any photos/videos from my digital camera?!?

It seems as though after the most recent Snow Leopard update (10.6.4), I can no longer upload any photos to iPhoto on my imac. It seems as though this is a fairly common problem, and I'm wondering if anyone has been able to resolve it? I am honestly afraid to download any further updates from apple - every time something gets updated....something gets broken. I wish I was exaggerating here...since the initial upgrade to Snow Leopard, after every upgrade/update, major problems have shown up on my once-faithful Imac. Wireless networking, printing, third party software...and now iphoto.

Same here! During the last software update 7/23, I watched the update process and saw "removing files" as one of the last procedures. Did not realize until later that ALL of iLife '08 had been totally removed. A genius at the store told me that Snow Leopard won't work with iLife '08 and yet it was working fine until last Friday. Now instead of loading multiple photos to my MacBook Pro, iPhone will only allow one photo to be emailed or attached to a contact. They told me at the store I can use Image Capture instead, but that doesn't give me the thumbnail photos. Really dastardly update. Any suggestions except to purchase iLife '09?

IPhoto will no longer import photos from any of my another cameras.

iPhoto will no longer import photos from any of my another cameras after importing photos from my iTouch.

Does the camera mount to the desktop so you can look to see what is there? Have you tried Image capture (in your applications folder) to import the photos? Have you tried unchecking hide previously imported to see what that shows? Do you have a USB card reader to try? When did you last reformat your memory card?
If you can get the photo off the card using any method do so and tehn use yoru camera's format command to reformat the card

HP Photosmart C5180 Will no longer feed 8x11 Photo paper from main tray

My C5180 all in one will no longer feed 8x11 photo paper from main tray. Rollers slip and will not pull paper in. Any suggestions?

Hi @583seve
I see youa re having some difficulty with your Photosmart C5180. The following document addresses both out of paper messages and issues with paper pick; 'Out of Paper' Error Message Displays and the Product Does Not Pick Up or Feed Paper.
If the issue persists, you might consider trying the steps in a paper jam document. Although you may not be experiencing a paper jam, the steps in this document may be all that is left to try; 'Clear paper jam, then press OK' Error Message Displays on the Control Panel.
I hope this helps, but if after all your efforts the issue remains, I suggest calling HP. They may be able to offer you a discount on a newer model as part of a trade in trade up option. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.

Is it possible to upload photos directly from a digital camera to the Zen Sle

Hello
My girlfriend and I are going to South America. Therefore, I am not only looking for a MP3-player, but also a place to store photos. The Zen Sleek court my attention.
Though, I would like to know whether it is possible to upload photos directly from a digital camera to the Zen Sleek? Does it require any extra cables or software? Or is it only possible to store photos through a ordinary computer and then transfer photos to the harddisc on the Zen Sleek?
Regards
Mads Lyngby Petersen

Short answer, I've never seen anyone try it.
Long answer, it might be possible using one of these USB bridge devices. Some of these devices are supposed to be able to bridge between a camera and a USB mass storage device, and then deal with hosting the connection and moving/copying the files.
I would be intruiged to know if someone's managed it, but as mentioned so far I've not seen anyone mention it.

Downloading Video from a digital camera

I am trying to download a video from a digital camera, and iPhoto is not allowing it to, with no reason given. Does anyone know of an upgrade or a program where i can download the video?
Thanks

Welcome to macbook forum
You should use iMovie instead of iPhoto.
And if you only have usb port and no firewire port in your camera, you must use iMovie 7 from iLife '08 that allowed tapeless camera / camcorder video file imported to your mac.
You can also browse the camera storage media and drag the video file to your HD or desktop using the camera usb connection (it should pop up as white drive at desktop) or using usb card reader.
Good Luck.

Iphoto 09' will no longer import the photos from my ipad

Hi,
I have iphoto 09' and it will no longer import photos from my ipad. The ipad is 2nd gen and run ios 7 (it is updated as of Dec. 13'). It says it does not support jpg. files, though it always has before. I have tried using image capture as well as preview, neither works. Image capture and preview say something about an image capture error -9129 or something. I have also tried to bypass completely by copying and drag/dropping onto a USB key and into a desktop folder. Neither of these work either. I have aslo tried using a new library in iphoto and it doesn't work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks and cheers, Dori

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
Happy New Year

Help! My iPhoto will no longer import photos from my iPhone.

I have an iPhone 5, and my computer recognizes that the device is present, but does not upload the photos and I cannot click on the "import photos" button. Sugestions?

Using Image Capture?
Launch Image Capture then connect the iPhone to a USB port.
The iPhone should show up under Devices top left side of the Image Capture window.
Now look at the bottom left side of the window. Click the: Connecting this (device) opens: pop up menu and select an application to import your photos.
You can also select a folder to import photos from the Import To: pop up menu.
Selet the photos you want to import then click Import or Import All on the right.

Aperture no longer importing any photos

Hi Everyone - Aperture has stopped importing photos for me. I am running a Mac Pro mid-2011 with Yosemite.
It doesn't seem to matter how I try to get new photos into Aperture it is not working. I have tried from my iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1, an SD card from a camera and directly from image capture. Interestingly it will bring in older photos but nothing new. I worked through the settings graphic in another thread but it didn't help. I have also deleted and re-installed Aperture with no effect. Thank you for any help you can provide!

Hi Kirby - I guess I wasn't as clear as I thought. Here are the answers to your questions:
Stopped ... how?
Basically, it never gets past the preview of what files are going to be imported. Even though there are pictures on the phone.
Do the image files show in the import window?
No. Sometimes a blurry image shows up but usually nothing.
Is "Import" greyed-out?
No.
Does Aperture seem to import and then you can't find the Images?
No, it is not behaving as it did before. It is not importing the photos.
Does nothing happen when you click "import"?
Pretty much.
Do you get a warning message or alert from Aperture or from OS X?
No.
What do mean by "older photos"?
Photos that are on my computer but not imported into Aperture previously.

Can no longer download videos from my digital camera to iPhoto.

OK people, please help me! I've been a Mac user for a couple of years now but still have no idea how to use it properly!! (having been a PC user all my life). Today I changed the quality on my digital camera (Panasonic Lumix TZ7) to be the lowest quality so I could fit more on my SD card, not feeling the need to read the instructions first. When I came to download to iPhoto, it wouldn't. So resorting to reading my camera instruction book, I needed to download some software that came with the camera which I did. But when I still couldn't download the videos using this software, I read the instruction book more thoroughly and discovered that the software I needed (PhotofunStudio) wasn't compatible with a Mac (PC only) and the software I had downloaded (Arcsoft Panorama maker and Arcsoft MediaImpression) obviously wasn't what I needed. When neither of these would download the video, I deleted the software from my iMac but when I opened iPhoto, it gave me some error messages about files not able to be read (or something similar, I can't quite remember) and a list of file names to which I clicked OK not even thinking about it. What that did was delete all videos from iPhoto I had downloaded from this camera! And now I can't download any videos from my camera to iPhoto!!! The only thing I can think is that it has changed the default download/view to be Arcsoft (even though I've deleted all the files - I think!!) So please, how do I get iPhoto to again download my videos? Sorry for the long winded post but because I am a hopeless Mac user, thought I would give as much info as possible!
I'm computer literate with PC but definitely not Mac - it scares me as I don't know what I am doing plus it is my OWN machine so don't want to stuff it up (which is exactly what I seem to have done!). I had no trouble previously downloading videos on the higher quality setting to iPhoto. Please can someone help?!

OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

It won't let me import my photos/videos from my cannon SD700 digital camera

It won't automatically try to import when I connect the camera.
It recognizes the camera is connected because I can select "Cannon Powershot SD700 IS"
If I click/select "Import All" or select an individual video I get
"Error downloading image"
"iphoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image"
if I select one photo image I get the dialog box
" Unreadable Files"
"Unreadable Files 1:"
"The following files could not be imported (the file is in an unrecognized format)"
IMG_1386.JPG"
" OK"
I can look through the images on my camera ok though.
I just updated to iphoto 09 8.1 (415) just before I tried this import.
Dave

have you restarted you computer since the update? if not try it
as to a problem with the iPhoto 8.1 update - I've not seen this specific issue - there have been some (there always are - that is one reason that backing up before an update is important). If your problem is with 8.1 I certainly would not assume that all future updates will have the problem - in fact I would report the problem to apple ( iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback) and assume that the next update would fix the problem (if there is one)
Have you tried the card reader as TD suggested? Also you can try image capture (in your applications folder)

I have a problem with my iPhoto: I want to import my photo's from my iphone to my Mac, but the program of iPhoto stucs what to do?

I can't go further with importing my photo'sfrom my iphone > Who can help me?

If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

How do I import videos from a digital camera to my iPhone 3G?

Sounds like a silly question, but I could not figure it out.
I hava acouple of short clips shot with a digital camera that I would love to have on my iPhone. They reside on iPhoto. How can I transfer them to iTunes and then to my iPhone?
Thx, OD

As with any other video you want transferred to your iPhone, the video needs to be available with iTunes - transferred to your iTunes library,
If the video can be viewed in iTunes does not mean the video is in an iPhone compatible version or format.
If not, select the video and at the iTunes menu bar, go to Advanced and select Create iPod or iPhone version. This will create another copy of the video.

Application for importing videos from a digital camera

I have a Canon PowerShot SD100 that I got a year and a half ago. It came with a CD that included software that could be used to import both the pictures and videos it took. However, after installing it, the CD got lost, probably ended up in the trash, and now I have no way to import the videos onto my new computer. (I use iPhoto for the pictures.)
Canon doesn't have a version of that same software, called ImageBrowser, available for download, and I've looked on my computer, but I can't seem to find any application that I could use to import the videos.
If anyone knows of a free application that would let me import my videos, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks a ton!
Jill

I don't use any software for importing videos from my camera I take the memory card out the camera. I insert it into my card reader. The memory card mounts on my desktop I can then drag and drop the movies from the card into my movies folder.
