IPhoto does not ask to use Photo, Can't import

I option created a new library and location for Photos on an external drive from my Aperture library. Most of the photos/projects and folders are not visible. It will also not let me import from my iPhoto library now that the new Photos library is created. They are greyed out. How do you get Photo to recognize previous libraries?
FROM THE HELP FILE, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ON MY COMPUTER:
iPhoto — and Aperture, if you downloaded it — remains on your system in the Applications folder, and you can continue to use it. If you open iPhoto or Aperture after you upgrade to Photos, you’ll be asked if you want to open your library there or in Photos.

but it iPhoto is not asking if I want to use Photo instead, which according to the info it was supposed to. I was hoping Photo would consolidate all my photography... Now it seems it is just another duplicate set of libraries.

Best.

This has never been a problem in the past, but when i insert a CD into my macbook, iTunes does not ask me if I want to import it and it ejects the CD. I have tried several different CD's and can neither play nor import them.

Try resetting the SMC Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
and PRAM How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
If that doesn't help you can try a cleaning disc, or a shot of compressed air but chances are good that your optical drive has failed. You can either replace it or buy an inexpensive external unit (but not Apple's as it won't work on macs with a built in drive working or not).

IPhoto does not recognize formate of photos after lost os x 10.9 update

I have a macbook pro after last update iphoto does not recognize the formate of a lot of my pictures.

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? What do you mean by :does not recognize the formate of a lot of my pictures."? Are these photos already imported into the library? What do you see when you open iPhoto?

IPhoto does not add all new photos to the photostream???

iPhoto is not adding all new photos from one group, recently imported, to the photostream. Why? The photostream has space. The photos were all taken the same day, but only a small number of them from one import show up. Any idea why?

I have already got my refund for the cable! I tried a friends cable and everything works!

Help Needed "Camera not asking to use photo location when switched on"

Hey guys, any help would be greatly appreciated.
When I turn on my camera app it used to ask if I wanted to use the location. Now it does not, I am interested in seeing what I can do with the geotagging feature. I checked my settings, and use location is on. I turned it off, backed out, turned it back on again but nothing changed.
When I open up maps and click the little round "find me" button, it works great.
Any ideas on what I can do to get my camera app working again? Thanks in advance.

If Location Services is ON, the geotagging data should be stored with the pics. The iPhone Photos app cannot display that information - you'd need to use a 3rd party app or upload the photo to a photo sharing website that supports geotagging data.
If you want to see that 'use location' request from the Camera app, go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Location Warnings.

Iphoto does not read cd's photo

I have many cd and dvd with photos and i can't open to see my photos

Roberto,
IOS 8.3 does not run on Macs, what version of OS X is installed on your 20" 2007 iMac?
Also, have you imported the photos into iPhoto using the Import feature?

IPhoto does not load after using camera

Hi,
I tried to downloan pics from a Sony camera, and since then I can't use iPhoto. It opens but then I get this message 'loading photos' that stays up forever and in the end nothing happens. I don't want to use the camera anymore, I just want to see my old pics.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

Hi, marranod,
Welcome to the discussions!
Let me see if I understand your question. You connected a Sony to download photos. Did you get the photos into your iPhoto?
Some Sonys create a camera/disk icon on the desktop that needs to be ejected (dragged to the trash) BEFORE you disconnect the camera....I have done this, and it seems to be ok, but you may receive the message that you did not remove the device properly and may have damaged it.
Am I correct that you had other photos in iPhoto, and that now you cannot get iPhoto to load any of your photos?
Try this: close iPhoto, go to User->Library->Preferences->com.apple.iPhoto.plist and drag that plist into the trash.
Repair permissions using Disk Utility.
Relaunch iPhoto and see if it opens now.
Post back if these suggestions didn't work.
Also, next time you download from a camera, use Image Capture ( in your applications folder) to get the photos into your computer, and then import them into iPhoto.

Photoshop does not see scanner...can't import scanned images

I recently migrated from Windowx XP (32 bit) to Windows 7 (64bit). On the xp computer, I installed the driver for my epson V500 photo scanner, and when go to File--> Import, there is an option to import via espon scanner. However, in Window 7, with Photoshop CS4 64 bit installed, the installed scanner does not show up on the import menu. I don't know how to get it to see the scanner as it does on my XP machine. I tried copying the photoshop plugins/import-export folder from the xp machine to photoshop (64)/plugind/import-export folder, but that didn't make a difference.
I really need the scanner to be visible inside photoshop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

If you are talking about 64 bit TWAIN there is none, and probalby will never be one. Too many techincal problems.
Most advise you scan with the scanner software and save to a location. Many like this better as it does not tie up PS when scanning.

IPhoto does NOT sort 'By title'. Please advise

In the left pane Library-Photo view is selected.
In the menu "View->Sort Photos->By Title" is selected.
However, iPhoto sorts photos by date, not by title.
Any advise?
I use 10.8 OS and 9.3.2 iPhoto.

@Old Toad,
I am already sorting Events by Title unter 'Events' section. I wanted to have events as it as a list, not as thumbnails.
That is why I was trying to sort them in 'Photos' section, where they are shown as Text.
I have many events. And I wanted to structure them well, if i were to switch to iPhoto. As I see now, iPhoto does not have many useful library management features. So I am going to stick to Lightroom and Bridge (though I don't need so much editing power).
@Terence Devlin,
I checked Aperture on my friend's computer (it *****, that apple is not giving trial versions).
It does not offer exactly what I was looking for.
But the Projects (aka 'Events' in iPhoto) can be sorted and put in folders (in the left panel). And it is displayed as a list (not thumbnails). This can't be done with iPhoto.
Morover, the Aperture has a much better search by keywords selection than iPhoto.
To pay 80 USD to try using Aperture. I really don't know. If there were a trial available....
I better stick to what I know works - Lightroom and Bridge.

You're in the wrong forum. Post to iPhoto for iLife, not iPhoto for iOS.

I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
Is this iPhoto on your Mac? Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11? If so then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.

HT4236 Ever since I got the iTunes upgrade, iPhoto does not open and take the photos from my iPhone. I have the older version of iPhoto, so Photo Stream does not work. Can you please help?

Ever since I got the iTunes upgrade, iPhoto does not open and get pictures from my iPhone. How do I fix this? Thanks.

You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

Can the apple ID that's the way to eliminate the use of the vacuum when the applications running on the iPad so it does not ask the apple ID code.

I don't understand what you are asking - what are you trying to do ?
