IPhoto '09 not importing correct time on photos

I am using a Canon PowerShot S95. I've check the time in the camera and the time on my computer. When importing pictures from the camera to iPhoto, iPhoto does not use the time my picture was actually taken. I looked at the extended info to check the original time and the digitalized time. These times match but are incorrect as to the when I actually took the picture. This throws off the date. The digitalized time and original time will show 3:13:11 am. It is way off. I don't take pictures at 3am! So the problem of sorting picture with keywords and using the date separates the pictures incorrectly. I was sorting using keywords Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, etc. Pictures taken the same day were separated to different events. I hope this all makes sense. Can anyone help me.

iPhoto gets the time and date from the Exif metadata of the photograph. This is written by the camera. You may not have taken the photo at 3 am, but the camera thinks it was 3 am when the shot was taken.
You can correct the date and time using the Photos ->Adjust Date and Time command

IPhoto does not import correct pictures

Using either my Canon camera or IPhone 6 plus, when I try to import new photos to my MacBook Pro, everything in the process works fine, the selected pics appear to be importing correctly and show up on the import screen. But when the import is finished and I am prompted to keep or delete photos from the camera or the IPhone, after I select one or the other, a set of the same number of pics show up on the Last Import screen but they are a completely different set of pics from what I imported; they appear to be randomly selected from my library of past photos. And, the pics I actually imported are no where to be found in my photo library. And, when I click on Last Import from the tab list, all I get are these random set of old pics. Frustrated! Any ideas?.....thnx.....Lew

Not sure how to rebuild IPhoto once I've done the alt key and command key re-launch of IPhoto....
Did you hold down the alt key and command key together long enough? Hold the keys down, until you see the First Aid Panel.
Only then let go of the keys and click "Rebuild Thumbnails", and if necessary the other options Larry recommended.

Iphoto photostream not importing correctly

i use photostream from 2 iphones and an ipad, then manually import from my CF card using a canon EOs DSLR. the manual imports are fine and all devices show the consolidated group of iphoto pics. However when in iphoto i highlight a particular event of all the consolidated photos and drag them over to events. I grabbed 123 photos but only 25 of them appear in the new event, am i missing something? If i try it again it says i am duplicating the import, however i canty find where the photos have gone.
I have been using this workflow for 2 years and only in the last 4 weeks or so has it not been importing all the photostream images, i may revert back to manual imports from the phone unless anybody can help?

However when in iphoto i highlight a particular event of all the consolidated photos and drag them over to events.
I don't understand this. How can you drag an Event to Events. Isn't it already there?

ICal not importing correct time when receiving .ics file

while receiving an invitation to an event from an .ics file, I've noticed that the times are always off by several hours. I almost missed an event by three hours recently. Is there a setting I'm not getting or is this another glitch. This has happened more than once.

Do you get this window when you hold down the Command+Option keys and launch iPhoto?
If not then you're not holding down both keys long enough.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

New photo app does not import all of my photos from iphoto library

I have just installed 10.10.3 on my Macbook and the new photo app does not import all of my photos from iphoto library. I have about 3200 photos in the library and only 2300 are presented for import. I only have 1 library so I didn't choose the wrong one. Any suggestions?

Upon closer inspection it appears that the missing photos are in a folder called IPhoto Library. This folder is greyed out when I choose the import folder.
When I use 'show package contents' it reveals the missing photos (below). Why is my iphoto library so scrambled! Thanks for any insight.

My iphoto will not open correctly. All I get is the little wheel going around and around. What do I need to do to open my iphoto?

My iphoto will not open correctly. All I get is the little wheel going around and around. What do I need to do to fix this? I would like to be able to see my photos again.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 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.

I have reception issues too unfortunatly , only where reception is weak anyway, but yes it happens...
also iphoto would not import most of the times

Many thx
Anteros

I was encountering this on the developers' beta of iTunes 9.2 on a gigabyte-sized iPhone 4 movie. (I am in Developer Program.)
I just reinstalled with the standard iTunes download and was able to do a successful import directly from the phone.
Perhaps an iTunes reinstall can fix it for you as it did for me.

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

Iphoto does not import all items from camera

I have been importing photos into Iphoto from my canon SD300. I have noticed that on occaissions it has skipped a few files while importing. In particular it has skipped movie clips. When the camera is connected Iphoto says it is ready to import and tells you the number of images and movie clips, and it recognizes all of them. However, once the import function is over on the last occaision I noticed that two clips and one image was not imported. I manage to get the missed image/clips by inserting the memeroy card in a card reader and dragging the missed image/movie clips into Iphoto.
I would appreciate if any one knows why Iphoto does not import all the items from the camera even though it recognizes that they exist and how I should fix this problem.
Thanks.

Hi imac2,
I don't know why iPhoto skips some of your files. I can tell you that I use Image Capture to download my images and video clips. My video clips from my Canon can get quite large (over 1010 mg). iPhoto can import smaller clips that digital camera made, but now a lot of the newer camera can create very large video clips and I don't think iPhoto can handle importing them.
Once I download my images and video clips I put them in dated folders. This makes it much easier to back up the video clips and images. I then import the folders of images into iPhoto. I like having more control.

IPhoto will not import certain JPG files

I have just migrated to a 2012 Retina 15" MacBook Pro from a 13" MBP. I am using Mavericks 10.9.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1. The MBP is a 2.7gHz quad core with 16GB of memory and a 768GB SSD. I was trying to tidy up my hard disc and import some .jpg files from the output folder on my Capture One Session. iPhoto will not import certain jpg files but will import others. The message I get is as follows The following file could not be imported. The file is an unrecognised format. Then shows below for example /Users/xxxx/Pictures/Capture One Session/Output/L1000212.jpg.
I first tried creating a new library and importing to that with no success. I then rebuilt the database. I repaired permissions. I deleted the iPhoto.plist and its caches and restarted - no success. I then deleted iPhoto and reinstalled from App Store after deleting the plist and caches again. Still no luck. The .jpg files in question open perfectly in Photoshop CC and Preview. I tried altering them slightly and resaving but still they would not import. I reinstalled Mavericks - no improvement. If I reconvert the files from the original DNG's into TIFF files, then they will import to iPhoto
Any ideas anyone?

I just recorded an action in Photoshop CC to assign ProPhoto colourspace save and close. Then copied all the problem jpegs into a temp file and ran the action. With this super fast machine, It only took a few minutes to convert 500+ files and they have now all imported perfectly. I have changed my JPEG recipe to convert DNG's from embedded to ProPhoto.
Thanks again. Colourspace would never have occurred to me.

I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade and now iphoto will not open correctly anymore. please help

I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade and now iphoto will not open correctly anymore. it stays on the opening screen and the message
shows up that I must update the mediathek. If I click on update the program shuts down. How can I fix this?

I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade
Does that mean, you are running iPhoto 9.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 Yosemite? Or are you using an older MacOS X? "New" iPhoto is relative and depends on your system.
If I click on update the program shuts down. How can I fix this?
Does "shut down" mean it crashes? Then post please the error log from the error panel here - copy and paste the report into your next answer (the first 50 lines should suffice)
Where is your iPhoto Library (Mediathek) stored? Have you moved it to an external drive, or is it still in your Pictures folder (the order "Bilder")?

PDF's not importing correctly

I am using CS5 on iMac 27" quad.
I am trying to import a PDF into Photoshop.
But it is not importing correctly.
The PDF is a label template, which prints perfectly from the PDF.
But when I import it into Photoshop, the dimensions change.
So the text boxes for the labels don't align up correctly to the label sheet.
The top label is OK, but the boxes keep moving to the right, so that top label in column 5 is a 1/4" off to the right. The labels seem to be "traveling."
Vertically, the same thing is happening.
Row #1 is OK
but by the end of the page, Row #5 is 3/8" off the page.
I have disabled all printing options: no auto-center; no fit to page; no scaling.
The printer software should not be adapting the document at all.

Here are two articles to start with...don't know what you've tried so far

IPhoto '09 not importing Camera Raw (.CR2) files

Recently purchased a new Mac Pro and tried to import my Camera Raw files from a supported camera. iPhoto refuses to import (unrecognized file format) files. Does anyone know the solution? I have over 1,700 camera raw (.CR2) files I need to import.

Larry,
Cameras were Canon 20D and 50D. Until yesterday both were using the sRAW color space - switched them to Adobe RAW today. Problem was the 1,700 pictures with sRAW colorspace taken over the past few years - no issue importing into Adobe Photoshop CS4 (not surprising at it uses its own libraries), problem was only with iPhoto. I had what iPhoto reported as the latest update to Camera Raw, however when I browsed the Apple support pages I found v3.0 which I installed. That fixed the problem as it now has sRAW support for Canon cameras.
Only issue that remains is importing of DNG formatted pictures. iPhoto will not import those, which is hard to understand as it is becoming the defacto cross platform format for RAW files.
I don't recall having this issue on my older MacBook using an older version of iPhoto and older libraries...
Anyway, good news is that v3.0 fixed the problem.
Thanks.
