IPhoto '11 won't automatically startup and import my iphone 4 camera photos

I bought a new Macbook Pro 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, and was able to import the pictures from my iphone 4 automaticallyto iPhoto. Now 2 months later, iPhoto won't startup or import any of the photos taken on my phone, but it syncs my music, tones, apps, etc. What can i do to import my photos again?

Have you looked at the iPhoto Preferences in the General tab for what to do when a camera is connected?

  • How do I stop iphoto from creating events automatically when I import photos from an external hard drive?

    IPhoto is creating events automatically when I import photos and when I merge events and then go to finder>all images, I see iphoto has created several copies of each picture....I try to delete the extra copies but then the albums or events also get affected, even if there is one copy of each photo left in all images...have someone had this problem?

    You don't have a problem at all.
    IPhoto is creating events automatically when I import photos
    This is how iPhoto works. Every photo is in an Event. Events are the basic organisation of the Library. Every import means at least one new Event. Yes you can merge Events after import and so on, but there is at least one Event created at each import.
    I see iphoto has created several copies of each picture....
    No it hasn't. It hs created versions of the photos, not copies. There will be a couple of thumbnails  for viewing in the iPhoto Window plus the Master and then a edited version for pics that are modified. The icons for each of these may be similar but they are not copies - for a start they are different sizes - and all are required for iPhoto to work.
    go to finder>all images
    Don't. This is simply a list of all the images on your computer. It makes no account or allowance for the purpose of these images. Really, if you're using iPhoto ignore this because if you
    I try to delete the extra copies
    Then you are trashing your Library.
    So, this is how iPhoto works, there is no problem and stay away from All Images.

  • Need to make automatic startup  and shut down for the instance

    hi to all
    i have os : Red Hat lunix as 3 , woth oracle DB 10g 10.0.1
    need to make an automatic startup and shut down for the instance when i start and shutdown the OS
    i tried Use dbstart and dbshut scripts then created file dbora at dbora as a script
    then i did
    # ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K01dbora
    # ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99dbora
    # ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K01dbora
    # ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99dbora
    nothing worked
    if you will attach me any files
    my mail is :
    [email protected]
    thanks much
    Ahmed

    Hi,
    The /etc/oratab should have an entry for this database with 'Y' in the last field as:
    Oracle_sid: Oracle_Home:Y, so when dbstart command issued it will check the oratab and starts the database.
    I advise you to keep the dbstart and dbshut in different scripts and save them directly in the runlevel directories, instead of creating links.
    thanks

  • Hallo, after upload my iPad air and my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 (and later Mac to Yosemite, version 10.10), I don't find in my iPad air and in my iPhone 5 photos I can see in iPhoto (version 9.6) on my Mac's Cloud.

    hallo, after upload  iPad air and iPhone 5 to iOS 8 (and few days ago Mac to Yosemite, version 10.10), I don't find in my iPad air and in my iPhone 5 photos I can see in iPhoto (version 9.6) on my Mac's Cloud. I tried to add manually from library to iCloud's streaming photo with no result. in iPhoto's events I've 940 photos, in iPhone and iPad about 450. I have in mobile devices only photos taken with iPhone. thank

    There is no warning there, only a recommendation...
    We recommend that you update to the latest version of iPhoto before placing your order,
    On 10.6.8 you can update to 9.2.3.
    You really need to rethink you're computing habits. Using a computer without a back up is like driving without a safety belt. Updating the OS and applications without one is like driving blindfolded and drunk without a safety belt...
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • Before when I scanned a photo, it would automatically save and ask to scan another photo. Now, the photo is not saving and it doesn't ask to scan again. Help?

  • Since upgrading to Maverick my iPhoto does not consistently download my Nikon or my Canon camera photos.

    Since upgrading to Maverick my iPhoto does not consistently download my Nikon or my Canon camera photos. Occasionally it will recognize and download photos, most of the time though it hangs in "loading" mode with nothing downloaded. I've unplugged, replugged numerous times, tried a different USB port, tried the two cameras so it's not the camera or line that's the issue, turned the computer off, turned iphoto off, turned everything else off and stil nothing. I need my photos for my work and can't get to them, this seems to be an issue with Maverick AGAIN!!! Is there a fix? HELP! Thanks!

    iPhoto Version 9.5.1
    Thank you for your help Terence. I had 140 photos on my Nikon, none were viewable in iphoto, in Image Capture 5 were viewable, 135 weren't. I tried importing one to my desktop but it remained static and didn't move over. I just deleted all the photos on my camera, took a fresh photo and after waiting a good 4 minutes finally uploaded to both iphoto and Image Capture. As this took so long for one photo I'm wondering if the memory in my computer would impact the speed. I have 350GB used and 150GB left
    By reformat the cards do you mean the flash card in the camera? I don't know how to do that, it's less that 6 months old.  

  • How do i get both mine and my wifes iPhones to photo stream. hers is the only one doing it

    The best way is to not share Apple IDs but also make sure under Settings & Messages on both devices that only one phone number is checked.

  • How to prevent iPhoto to make an automatic event when importing from Photo stream

    Hi everyone,
    My question is related to the Photo stream functionality in iPhoto.
    Is possible to prevent iPhoto from making an automatic event when I import a photo from Photo stream. It is really annoying because of the fact that I use "events" for keeping my important photo's together (as many of you do I asume). Ofcourse after importing I can just delete it from my event section but is there a way to prevent it?
    Thanks.

    No. Photostream creates an Event for each month.
    iPhoto has many other tools for managing and categorising your Photos.
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 40k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • Automate exports and imports (file names)

    Hi all,
    I will like to do a simple export and import into another schema in another database.
    I am very comfortable with the process but all i require is how to set the dump file and log file names to be the date and name of the database being exported and imported.
    For example when I do the export I want the dump file and logfile names to be exp_ORCL_230805.dmp and exp_ORCL_230805.log for database ORCL exported on 230805.
    For the import I want the logfile name to be imp_TEST_230905.log.
    I am doing this export and import on a windows xp client but the database reside on UNIX AIX boxes.
    Thanks alot

    Set up ORACLE_SID before you start the imp/exp session on the client, then you can use file=exp_%ORACLE_SID%_%DATE%.dmp etc. (Note that if your windows locale has a date format w/ whitespace you might have to write a script to get rid of it..)

  • IPhoto won't import my iPhone 4 photos

    Hi everyone! I've been looking around, and none of the other related discussions have helped so far.
    I'm using a lovely new MacBook Pro retina, and I have an iPhone 4.
    When I connect my iPhone to the mac, it will only import my Camera Roll and not all the other photos I have in the photo app, such as Photo Library, Last 12 Months etc.
    So I have 400 pictures that are being imported, and atleast 900 which aren't.
    Any ideas?

    That is how it works - your camera roll photos are imorted
    Additional Information
    You can import only photo and video content taken with the built-in camera or captured on the device. You cannot import photo or video content synced from iTunes.

  • Automatic delete after import from iPhone

    Hello,
    when I import pictures from iPhone directly to Aperture 3, I can not find a way the automatically delete the pics from iPhone after completion.
    This is done in iPhoto very easily.
    Anyone any idea, where / how to activate this option in Aperture 3?
    I hope Aperture 3 is able to do that, otherwise it is a poor statement as Aperture should be some iPhoto prof....
    Thx in advance

    Don't know the answer offhand (don't have an iPhone), but you might find it if you read through some of the [Importing Images chapter|http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapte r=4%26section=0] of the User Manual.
    Hope this helps...

  • IPhoto crops landscape aspect movies to portrait aspect during iPhone Camera import

    iPhoto cropped a series of 1920 x 1080 (landscape) to 720 x 1080 (portrait) movies shot in the iPhone Camera upon import during an iPhone sync. The movies were shot in portrait on the iPhone using the Apple iOS Camera app. Other videos taken on a different day were imported correctly. The cropped videos are not cropped on the iphone.
    I am using iPhoto 9.3.2 with OS X Moutain Lion.
    Exporting from iPhoto does not restore the videos to their original aspect nor does opening them in Quicktime Player.
    Help!

    How did this:
    The movies were shot in portrait on the iPhone using the Apple iOS Camera app
    become this
    a series of 1920 x 1080 (landscape)
