IPhoto auto upload from Nikon D200 is insanely SLOW

Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite, iPhoto has become terribly slow. The issue typically surfaces AFTER the pictures download and when iPhoto asks if it should delete the pictures on my camera. I say no. And then I see this "wheel of death" that keeps turning and turning and turning.
I am on an iMac (27", late 2013) that has a 3.2 GHz Intel Core i7 with a 32GB, 1600 MHz, DDR3 memory that has an Nvidia GeForce GTX 4G graphics card. That hard drive has a 128G solid-state and 3TB capacity. So, I doubt if it is the hardware.
I have noticed that Aperture and iPhoto are usually at odds with each other too. Anyone else see this? Any ideas how to deal with it? I don't want to have to switch to LightRoom or any other 3rd party software. But if that's the only thing, I will do it.

What exactly do you mean by this?

As a test launch iPhoto while holding down the option key until the select library window appears - create a new test library and see how imports to the test library work - report the test results back here

Photos from Nikon D200 camera are white after Leopard install

Backed up entire hard drive and did an upgrade install of Leopard. Photos from iphone and point and shoots are all fine but the shots I need from my Nikon D200 are dysfunctional, both on my G5's hard drive and my external hard drive.
As I am scrolling through my iphoto library, I see the photos from my D200 for a second, then they all change to a white square/rectangle. I checked info on these squares and the info is intact. I double clicked some of the white squares to bring them into the iphoto work space and while they would not open, the thumbnails of all the photos showed up in the viewing area above the work space. I tried to drag some of the thumbnails into Photoshop as I normally would to work on them and I get a white circle with a slash through it and the photo does not open in Photoshop.
I downloaded the free version of iplm and could not find a repair photo feature so I tried "rebuild library". No change and the app told me that over 2,000 photos were unable to be rebuilt and to check utilities/console to learn which ones. I did and saw nothing about photos.
I am working on the option/command open iphoto solution right now but I am a graphic designer with a deadline in less than 24 hours which requires one of the "lost" pix. I have two other deadlines in the same time frame and I am freaked. Anyone with any hope, please help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Select one of the blank squares in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File' (or 'Show Original File' if it's availabe.) A Finder window will open. It should have the file selected. Does it?

Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:
http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/BatChmod.png
(Credit to Old Toad for this one).
also:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

RAW upload from Nikon 300S

I just bought the Nikon 300S and took some test shots
in both RAW (NEF format) and jpeg.
When I tried to upload the RAW i.e .nef extension, Photoshop Element 7 is giving me the error message that this file is not supported, however, when I upload the shots taken by Nikon 200, RAW ( .nef ) it uploads OK. I am baffled... Doing my searches .. and came to the conclusion that Photoshop Element 7 needs to recognize that upload from 300S... It still does not make any sense since windows 7 (in ms) looks at the extention to open the apps.. Any help is appreciated.

Your camera raw plugin needs to be updated to
5.6.

Importing from Nikon D200 on Windows Vista

I have lightroom 1.0 and a Nikon D200 - running in PTP mode - when I import photos - lightroom states no photos to import.
If I switch to Mass Storage Mode - lightroom shows me the photos on the card, but I cant select "Move photos and import".
So I have to copy the photos to my harddrive first, then I can move them into my library - not very pratically
Anybody found a solution to this irritating workflow ?
Regards
Kurt

Thom Hogan recommends transferring pictures by using a card reader, rather than tranferring from the D200. http://www.bythom.com/d200guide.htm
I agree with him.
I do not move photos from the card. Instead I copy them, back them up, and verify that they have copied properly before deleting them from the card. If there is a problem moving the files, you could lose your photos.
I am waiting for all of you to test and identify problems with Vista before I upgrade, so I do not know if Vista has problems with card readers.

Can't import RAW files into iPhoto 6 Library from Nikon D700

For whatever reason I am unable to import RAW files from my Nikon D700 into my iPhoto 6 (version 6.0.6) Library. I can import JPEGs from the D700, but it's no-go with the RAW files. When I attempt to import the RAW files I get the following message:
"Unreadable Files
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)."
Can anybody solve this mystery for me?

I presume that the economically-priced Mac Box Set containing OS X 10.5.6 Leopard, iLife '09, and iWork '09 would be the way to go. Do you concur?
Well that's the cheapest way to do it. You could, of course, buy a new Mac
Do you feel that my 20" Intel iMac--details listed below--would have any problems handling the upgraded programs?
It will have no problems with the updated OS or applications.
'm uneasy at the thought of upgrading my operating system, but I presume that chances of running into problems are much less than if I were upgrading a Windows OS. In case a problem arises my entire hard drive is backed up with a 1T external hard drive using SuperDuper software, but I prefer not to encounter a situation requiring me to use it for restoration purposes.
The key to any update or upgrade is to make sure that you have a good working back up. That way, should anything go wrong, you have a quick way back to where you started.
My tips for upgrading the OS? Disconnect the disk with the back up and all other peripherals when you do the Upgrade. Pop the disk in. Do a standard Upgrade. (There are some folks who swear that you should wipe your HD and start over from scratch before you do, but, frankly, that's overkill. I've been upgrading Macs since 1992 and never had a problem.

IPhoto auto upload to iCloud but where are they?

Not sure if this should be in iCloud or iPhoto.
I use iPhoto as the manager. I download pictures from my camera or SD card and then I see activity (via little snitch) showing data going to iCloud photo. But there the trail ends, I see no images on searching on my iMac, iCloud etc, the device I use for managing pictures, nor do I see them on my iPad. The only way to see them is to actively share them from iPhoto but then they seem to be uploaded a second time.
I am led to believe that a certain amount of images are automatically uploaded for sharing and I do not need to actively share it. I realise it is Beta, just trying to get the hang of it. So, what am I missing?
I have automatic upload enabled.

I have tried the settings as you suggest and they do indeed appear in the iPad (new test shots uploaded after reading this). It was that "iCloud Photo Library (Beta)" setting that did the trick.
But I am still wondering where the images go when I download from the camera to the computer (iMac) from a recent trip. I returned from a trip a few days ago and 1.7gb of images uploaded to iCloud Photo's, this was prior my setting adjustment on advice from yourself. I now understand why I could not see them on my iPad but 1.7GB of data went somewhere.
OK. Thank you for the links, I had read the first one but still missed the trick with turning off that setting. Best await 2015 then for a full fledged service?

Uploading from Nikon Coolpix S01

Can you transfer photos from a Nikon Coolpix S01to iPad 2? My daughter got one as a present and gets the dreaded "device uses too much power" message. We've tried advice in old forums to switch off on 'computer charge' on camera but still no luck. Any suggestions please.

This is the same problem I am having. I contacted Apple support with no help. I contacted Nikon, as well, to see if the iPad photo kit would support this Nikon s01, and they had no clue. This is very frustrating. The connection kit and camera would download on my iMac using iPhoto, so I suspect there is a problem with the iPad connection. I fully charged camera and the same error cones up. Can anyone get this to work?

Does iPhoto Support RAW from Nikon D90?

I shoot in RAW. I had a D80 and iPhoto would import my RAW photo files ok. I just got a Nikon D90 and iPhoto will not import my files. Any ideas?
Lee

Lee:
In the meantime you might see if Adobe DNG Converter and Camera Raw 4.6 is compatible with the D90. That would let you convert the RAW files to the DNG (digital negative) format which iPhoto does support. There's other RAW converters available. Go to VersionTracker.com and search for RAW.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IPhoto Gallery Uploads, Web Browsers Comments "Script too slow"

I have been using iWeb in the past to share my pictures with friends. So when I could see I could use iPhoto to not only share them but let people download near full versions I scrapped the iWeb site I used so people could go to my Gallery to view or download.
Now, I have well 40 Album and uploaded them all which used about half my 20GB iDisk (but thats mainly why I subscribed so dont mind). The problem is that the site flashes up an error message when you use even this most up-to-date version of "Safari", warning the user that the Scrip is too slow and the browser is in danger of hanging. Which 50% of the time it does.
Does anyone know how to solve this or is it just a limitation of MobileMe thats yet to be resolved as thats one of the functions of the site I thought and 40+ Albums is not that OTT.
Thanks

Dan
Start with a rebuild:
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Nikon D200 and iPhoto

Earlier, I asked the question,
I'm considering upgrading to a Nikon D200. Can I download images in RAW/NEF and JPEG from Nikon D200 into iPhoto 5.0 on my old PowerBook G4?
One person answered the question and then the thread was archived for some reason. I was hoping to get more discussion on this topic. For example, I'd like to ask the person who responded if the camera and the software work well together and if this is the primary software he uses for his or her digital photos.

I am just trying to start a topic???
I have a Nikon D200 and iPhoto 08 with the newest download. It had camera compatibility updates, I think that is where my problem is. All of my Nikon RAW (NEF) files have the wrong White Balance temperatures in iPhoto. They were good before this download. How do I roll the update back, and how do I report it to Apple as a bug???

Is Nikon D200 compatible with iPhoto 5.0?

I have both and yes yu can and I do.

Disable iPhoto auto launch w/ plist?

I know you can disable iPhoto auto launch from the Image Capture app, but I would like to know where Image Capture saves its preferences so I can disable it by editing or replacing a plist.
I need to change preferences on a whole lab of Macs, and I would prefer to do it remotely on all of them at once if possible.
I looked but I can't seem to find where the preferences are saved. If anyone knows or knows of an easy way to do it let me know. Thanks.
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

It seems to be this file:
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.ImageCapture2.00039343a1a8 .plist"
At any rate, that is the file that contains this entry, as the sole thing in the file:
HotPlugActionPath String /Applications/Image Capture.app
So you can try adding/deleting this file and see if that will do what you want.

IPhone with iOS 8+ Auto Upload with WD Photo or WD MyCloud

Is this in the works at all?
My Galaxy S3 had the ability to auto-upload photos to MyCloud but it looks like iOS devices still do not.
Dropbox, GDrive, AmazonCloudDrive and others all offer Auto-Uploading. but iOS still does not support that feature.
I know other Cloud device manufactures offer auto-upload on their iOS apps so why isn't WD Photo able to do this yet?
I'd like to keep using my MyCloud and sync all our family phones to it.

There's nothing new about this suggestion. It must be an Apple thing. I've been using the auto photo upload for a couple years now via my Samsung Galaxy 4 and now Edge. Also have done this with my son's LG. Probably one of the WD's best features. Sorts into folders by month and retains all data. My wife has an iphone and we have to do everything manually then sort into folders. We also have an Apple Airport with 2TB of storage, this will auto upload from iphones. The joke is you need to also by a mac in order to make that work. I read that WD photo app used to allow auto upload from iphones, but the feature was removed a few updates ago due to Apple WD dispute. (can't verify that, but it sounds like if you have an iphone, Apple really wants you to only use either their cloud or spend $1400 + for an airport and a mac, to do what droid users can do with just the WD. ) It would be great if WD could bring full functionallity to the iphone app also. I only checked this forum for this very reason, thought in 2 years maybe some progress was made.

Insanely slow access to ellipsis 8 storage from PC

My wife as an ellipsis 8 she got in the black friday special. Overall it's been pretty good, but access to the device from her PC is insanely slow.
Just opening the internal device storage from the windows 7 machine can take as long as 5 minutes. Copying a single music file into the external sdram card has taken as long as half an hour.

Hi,
No answer?
