IPhoto always opens asking to import photos from Touch

Hello,
Each time I connect the Touch to my Mac, iPhoto automatically opens, as if a camera is connected to the computer, asking if I want to import photos from the Touch?
How to disable this feature? What I want to do is export
Thanks,
Neil

tookyfes, I don't get an icon. The window does name my iPod Touch, but there is no option for "No application." Elsewhere in Image Capture preferences, "No application" can be selected for when any camera is connected to the computer. Then iPhoto no longer opens when Touch is connected, but my real camera doesn't open iPhoto like it used to. It's a mystery, considering the Touch is not even a camera (yet).
Thanks for the reply, but I think this may be a glitch in the software somewhere. iPhoto should not be assuming the Touch is a camera.

IPhoto says it won't import photos from my Fujifilm Finepix S1000 camera because it's the wrong format (jpeg). It always has before... but I upgraded to Lion then went back to Snow Leopard and now it's not working. Suggestions? Thanks!

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?

Iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5. Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgraded application.

iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5. Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgrader application. Repeatedly says it can't locate photos even when told to cancel. I think the photos in question are in Nikon RAW format.

iPhoto 9.5 immediately tries to "upgrade" my library using the upgrader.
iPhoto 9.5 asks you to run the upgrader to prepare the library for 9.5. It then will update the library to its format.
You need to do the following:
1 - go to your Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application.
2 - select Choose Library, navigate to your iPhoto library, select it and let the upgrader do its thing.
3 - launch iPhoto 9.5 to open and finish the conversion of the library.

IPhoto freezing when trying to import photos from iPhone

iPhoto has started freezing when trying to import photos from an iPhone. The device is recognised but just get "loading . . . " message with no photos appearing. Has anyone else seen this?

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.

IPhoto crashing when I'm importing photos from iPhone

So I'm trying to import photos from my iPhone in iPhoto. I am trying to import approx 2000 photos. After imprting approx 1500 photos, iPhoto crashes/stalls. I stop the import and try to delete the photos already imported, but the software is not responding. Can someone help me.

What version of iPhoto?
What version of the OS?

Since downloading Iphoto 11, we now cannot import photos from our Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ-15 camera. Any ideas out there as to why this is occuring. I can still import them onto my laptop which is running Iphoto9

Since downloading Iphoto 11 onto our desktop computer we now cannot import the photos from our Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ15 into Iphoto. However I can import them from the camera onto my Macbook which is still running Iphoto 9.
When I connect the camera and IPhoto loads, the spinning wheel just keeps on spinning and nothing happens, I have to Force Quit Iphoto to get out of the program. Totally frustrated, it would seem that it is an Iphoto 11 software problem. Any suggestions out there?
Regards
Phil

Terence,
not sure what happens here right now, I didn't mean to be offensive. So please let's stay calm. There are some issues with Panasonics described in these threads, and they do sound similar to the issue I'm facing (somewhat hard to say, as a) these people do not use exactly the same camera as I do and b) the descriptions of their problems are not very detailed). I would retract the term "a LOT of issues". Sorry.
Back in September I described my issue here
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3308591?start=0&tstart=0
but then the discussion there stopped. Since we were still able to import images manually into iPhoto (and took care of leaving out already imported pictures ourselves), we could live with this as a workaround.
Since everything worked well recently on my machine with the latest iPhoto version, I decided to upgrade iPhoto on my wife's Mac (where the import problems occured) from '09 to latest '11 (9.2.1). However, after that iPhoto still could not import from the Panasonic's SD card (rotating ball when inserting the card reader, and rotating ball after starting up iPhoto afterwards even w/o card reader plugged in, until the next reboot). So I re-built iPhoto's database (32000 images - 12 hours). Didn't help either. It worked however with a Casio Z-1000's SD card. Thus I re-formatted the Panasonic card yesterday and it seems to work since then.
My point is that I consider it weird that a SD card works with one Mac and doesn't work with another, although both use the same version of OS X and iPhoto. And, I'm somewhat doubtfull that re-formatting the card will solve this issue permanently. I believe that I tried to re-format the card already back in September, when I dealt with the issue for the first time, but I have no prove of that.
I will keep an eye on it and will report here if the problem comes up again.
Thank you for your help.
Best wishes,
Thomas.

Why is iPhoto 11 not recognizing already imported photos from 4S?

I just plugged my 4S into my iMac i3, which is running OSX 10.8.2 and iPhoto 11' all products are up to date on software updates. I wanted to removed some videos off my 4S to free of some space on the phone. I normall use icloud for all photo syncing and what not so plugging my 4S into the imac is not a common thing for me.
After opening iPhoto I noticed that the photos that were selected as "New Photos" were most duplicates of older photos that were already in my iPhoto library, some dating back a couple of years ago. I keep copies of them on my iphone to show people when I'm away from my imac. What I don't understand is why is iPhoto thinking these are "New Photos" and not "Already Imported" photos? What is even stranger is that when I look in the "Already Imported" photos, those same photos (the ones that iPhoto wants to now import again) are showing up there too.
So my dilema is, that iPhoto is saying that out of 1,289 photos on my 4S, 354 are "New Photos" to be imported but about 250-300 of those are NOT new, they already exist in my iPhoto library. Why is iPhoto not reconizing already imported photos?
Also, if I am using Photo Stream to sync my photos across everything.. why do I even have any new photos to import?? Shouldn't everything already be there when I open up iPhoto, why would I need to import any photos from my 4S if icloud and Photo Stream work correctly with iPhoto 11' ? I have checked and made sure numberous times that I have Photo Stream and icloud turned on in all the correct places and devices.
What I'm currently using: iPhone 4S iOS 6.0.1 and iMac i3 OSX 10.8.2 and iPhoto 11' version 9.4.2

You'll need to create a new, temporary library and import into that with the option to delete from your iPhone. Then delete the library and go back to your current library.

Iphoto will not recognize and import photos from camera.

Have a Kodak camera and never had any problems importing pictures from it directly to Iphoto until I upgraded My Imac to 10.6.8 Am using Iphoto 09 version 8.1.2. This is becoming quite a problem after searching for answers and seeing all the posts all over the place. I think it must be the Mac upgrade. Can't be the camera. Thanks for any help. I can get pics to Iphot but what a hassle.

While some issues have been reported with some Kodak camera's a more likely problem is the format of the memory card - get your photos off and reformat the card using the camera's format command you can also try renewing the iPhoto preference file -
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

Iphoto won't let me import photos from my iphone5

I go to iPhoto on my Mac Desktop (Version 10.9.3) and plug in my iPhone 5 and it recognizes my phone. But when i go to click to import photos, none of my photos will show up even after hours of waiting. Other iPhone 5's in the house have the same problem. I've been able to import photos before with ease, but now they won't even show up!

With your iPhone connected by USB open iTunes.
When a dialog comes up in iTunes, confirm, that you trust your Mac on the iPhone., when the "Do you trust this Mac" comes up on your iPhone.
See Old Toad's post: Re: iphoto won't import my iphone photos

IPhoto 9.2.1 not importing photos from iPhone 4S

When I plug in my 4S, or an alternate 4S, iphoto will recognize that there are photos that need to be imported, however when I click import all, it inicates that it cannot read any of the files, and does not import any of the photos or videos. I have also tried importing one photo at a time and got the same results. Any sugestions?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'

IPhoto 11 - How can I import photos from my hard drive keeping the folders the way they are?

I recently went from PC to Mac. I transferred thousands of photos, many of which I had in albums. When I imported them into iPhotos, it didn't seem to preserve my albums, unless I'm not seeing something. Is there a way to do that?

To begin with we only have words to communicate with on this forum so it is critical that we use the same ones
in iPhoto you have a library which can be views as events, photos, places or faces -- events and photos view show all photo in your library and faces and places show only thos that have faces or places assigned
albums are logical entities that are pointers to the photos in the library and are used for organization
folders are logical entities that hold albums or other folders and also are used for organization
The photos (by default and recommended) are copies into th eiPhoto library with is a SQL database. you ony access the photos using the iPhoto program or the media browser which is in the lower left hand corner of each open/attach/upload window
If you drag a folder of photos onto the open iPhoto window it will import them and create an event names the same as the folder if you drag the foldr of photos to the source pane on the left it will import them into an event and create an album
The biggest problem most windows users have is thinking of managing their photo with a database rather than the old way of managing files with a file manager
iPhoto is much more powerful since you can serach the database on any criteria
Hope this helps
It also would be helpful to watch the iPhoto tutorials under getting started - http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/

IPhoto won't let me import photos from my camera

I've been uploading my pictures from my camera to iPhoto for a while now and suddenly it's telling me that it can't import the photos because they're unreadable files but they're all jpegs! What do I do???

Will Image capture (in your applications foldr) see them and bring to disk? If so then once they are safely off the memory card and on disk use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card
and can you impoprted to iPhtoo from disk? Will preview open the photos on disk?

Iphoto always quit unexpectely while importing photo

I just finally got a new IMAC. i am importing my PC photo library . Everytime I import a folder/album iphoto quits..
It is very frustrating and i am thinking to go back to pc...what is the problem with iphoto? any other software may be similar in concept with the pc ones..

1. There was no need to delete all your Exif data. One field may have ben faulty at most.
2. Did you try Open and Save a file in Preview and then import? This will fix a lot of mal-formed medatata issues.
3. Did you try make a new library and see if they would import there?
I'm on this forum for a long while. I've never seen "remove all metadata suggested as a solution for this - or any - issue.

IPhoto has deleted all my imported photos from my phone. How do i get them back?

When I imported the original photos, I deleted them from my phone.

But the OP already specifically said that he "imported the original photos" to (presumably, from the title) iPhoto, which then deleted them from the iPhone. Therefore, they should be in iPhoto, and one of the options when you're importing is to delete the pics from the phone. If they aren't in iPhoto, something's really screwed up. We're assuming it hasn't yet.
