IPhoto 7.1.5 freeze when importing photos

After iPhoto '08 7.1.5 (378) update,
photo import freezes just after displaying thumbnails and pushing "Import" button, when "Import preparation" is displayed.
Same try with new libraries, also with a second user, also after various reboots and with preference panes additional software limitations.
The previous release was OK on my PPC G4 mac.
Any user with the same trouble ?
TIA

Tkx Terence,
but it doesn't comes from the hardware.
I don't proceed to time machine backup of Application folder. Only datas + system. And I'm wrong, because I can't restore iPhoto 7.1.4 with a simple restore operation !
The update has done 2 simultaneous changes : iPhoto_715.pkg + RAWCameraUpdate.pkg
I've downloaded iphoto_714.pkg (it was already in my receipts), but it's not possible to re-instal it :
1/ message : "iphoto release in place is newer than 7.1.4" when I don't remove iPhoto from application folder.
2/ message : "iphoto cannot be found" when I remove both iphoto_715.pkg from receipts and iphoto application from application folder.
iPhoto was installed on my dual processor mac when i got it, but it was 10.1.1 OS release ! you can imagine the installation process !!!
That's a bad experience, i will backup application folder with Time machine in the future.
- Anyone knows how to re-install iPhoto 7.1.4 ?

Iphoto 6.0.5 crashes when importing photos.

This is very annoying, every time I try to import photos either from CD/DVD, or files stored in the HD iphoto crashes. When I import directly from the camera it is usually ok.
Have anyone seen this problem before?
Thanks.
Jose

It could be the color profile bug. Photos without a color profile cause iPhoto to crash. It began with the iPhoto 6.0.5 and QuickTime 7.1.3 updates and affects only Power PC Macs.
Old Toad has written an Automator app. to embed the sRGB profile to photos, which will stop the crashing. Go to Toad's Cellar http://homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/FileSharing.woa/wa/default?user=toad.hall&tem platefn=FileSharing7.html&xmlfn=TKDocument.7.xml&sitefn=RootSite.xml&aff=consume r&cty=US&lang=en#
and download his "Embed sRGB Profile.zip. Unzip it, select the photos that cause the crash and drop them onto the app. Then see if those photos will import correctly.

Since i upgraded to Yosemite, when importing photos to iPhoto, they no longer appear in the 'events' summary in library. Why is this and how can i amend?

Since i upgraded to Yosemite, when importing photos to iPhoto, they no longer appear in the 'events' summary in library. Why is this and how can i amend?

The events may be incorrectly sorted. Try to sort the events by date, while in "Events" view.
Go to the "View" menu: Sort Photos > By Date > Descending. That should bring the most recent events to the top of the list.

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.

Iphoto crashes when importing photos? (no 3ivx. plugin found??)

hi, i have just got a canon 7d and often when importing photos into iphoto 11, (version 9.3.1) iphoto crashes, no matter how many times i try it fails to import, i have searched but not found the 3ivx. plug in that seems to have caused everyone the same problem and when iphoto does import my photos, every 10 photos is courupted and comes up black? i am shooting in raw (.CR2) any help or suggestions would be great thanks.
P.S. i am trying to put off updating to the latest iphoto update because i have almost 40,000 images/videos and whenever i have to update my library iphoto freaks out and i end up having to create a new library and import all photos from scratch which takes me days which i simply dont have......

IPhoto freezes when ordering photo

As of today - 29 May 2012, iPhoto freezes when ordering photo prints with the message..
'There was a problem communicating with the Apple Online Store. Please try again.'
I had to 'Force quit' iPhoto to continue.
OK, so maybe the store is down but surely that should not affect the software on both of my computers?
Andy Forrest

It's OK now - I see the store is open again - but it does seem odd that lack of store makes te application freeze solid!

When importing photos into iPhoto I get an error Unreadable Files:

When importing photos into iPhoto I get an error Unreadable Files: The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).
I can open the JPG in question with PREVIEW, photoshop etc.. actually if I try to import a photo that I had originally imported it also fails..
Please help... Thank you..

I too had this error message (and to be honest, it was becoming a bit of a pain). I resolved it in a slightly different way to Terence.
I had 10 photos that were allegedly unreadable; however, as Terence rightly says, they are duplicates. When I opened iPhoto I mad a note of each of the files concerned and did a Spotlight search throughout my hard drive.
For each photo, there were four or five duplicates. I deleted all but one of each of the photos and then reopened iPhoto. No more error message.
The original problem stemmed from importing my files directly from an external device I was using with a previous computer [that was running XP].
Anyway, hope this helps.
Andy

When importing photo's into Apperture via iPhoto Browser I get 2 Versions of the master import as opposed to just one?

When importing photo's into Apperture via iPhoto Browser I get 2 Versions of the master as opposed to just one?
Why is this?
Are there two master photo's?

When you import to Aperture using this method you get all the versions that iPhoto has - Mster and Edited version. If you haven't edited the photo then tow possibilities:
A: the photo is Raw and you'e gettting the automatic preview that iPhoto creates on import as well
B: The shot has an auto-rotate tag from the camera

IPhoto 8.1.2 quits when importing

iPhoto 8.1.2 quits when importing. It only imports 1 photo at a time. Every time I try to import more photos, it quits.
I tried deleting com.apple.iPhoto.plist
I tried repairing disk permissions
I tried creating a new account, and it quits there also

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.

ITunes freezes when importing music from CD and also when playing,

Just recently iTunes has started to freeze when importing music from a CD - it just stops and the progress bar remains as it it. The whole mac then freezes and I get the spinning beachball. I can't use any other application. The same thing is happening when I play music - it's ok for a song or two and then freeze and the beachball appears. I've downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled and it's just the same. Using Safari and Mail etc is no problem at the moment.
I also have a problem getting the iMac to recognise external hard drives - it won't show them on either firewire 400 or 800. I can see my 1TB drive using usb ( it shows up on the desktop, whereas on firewire it doesn't do this) but if I try to open it and see the contents in finder, it opens, but doesn't dispaly the contents of the drive. I can see the disk size but just get a grey spinning wheel in the bottom right hand of the finder window. Timemachine does not work.

I have had the same problem & itunes crashes when i try to import a file. Now i can't even start itune. I've reinstalled itunes so many times, without a fix, I've lost count.
I did post and had no reply. I'll watch this post with interest.

I have been using iPhoto on my MAC notebook to import photos from my camera. It no longer works and says that the Image Capture on my computer is the issue. Any ideas?

I've just upgraded to Iphoto v9.4.1 and cannot import photos from my hard drive

I've just upgraded to Iphoto v9.4.1 and cannot import photos from my hard drive. no matter what method I use, either click and drag or through the File menu. All I get is a message 'Preparing to import' - file size is less than 300 kb

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?

When importing photos with iBooks Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the imported photo?

When importing photos with the iBooks Author Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the corresponding imported photo? I have 4,800 stills to import and can't imagine it's necessary to copy and paste the description for each.

As always, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.

As for AS, I'm not sure anyone has sniffed iBA's dictionary yet...google is you friend for hot prospects, I'm sure

HT1229 How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto? The size of my imported photos are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB. Any suggestions appreciated.

How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto? The size of my imported photos from my camera are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB. Scanned copies of older photographs with a size of 100 to 500 KB work very well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

File -> Export and make your choices in the Export dialogue.
Jpeg Quality and Size will have most effect on file size. Note that 'Size' refers to the pixel dimensions of the photo.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
