Iphoto isn't importing iphone photos

When I try to close IPhoto it says : Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete. This happens when I am not trying to import any photos. Then when I have my IPhone connected it will not allow me to select either import selected, or import all (buttons are greyed out). Help please

If your iPhone is plugged into the computer - unplug it. Press and hold the power button. After the computer turns off release the button. Then press and release the power button (as normal) to turn the computer on.

I have tried every help suggestion I can find in the Apple Support Community...repairing Library, rebuilding Library, iPhotoManager rebuild, created a new account and had same issue trying to import, deleted preference files, etc.

Can't import iPhone photos into iPhoto because of permission...

I go in iPhoto, click on the iphone then click on import all and then I get this error message which i will translate from French.
''iPhoto ne peut pas importer vos photos dans cette photothèque car iPhoto ne peut pas y accéder.''
iPhoto can not import your photos in this library because iPhoto can not access it.
Then it says : Repair your library authorisation in iPhoto.
So i tried to cmdaltclick on iphoto and repair permissions...but it doesn't work.
Thnx for the help !

IPhoto not responding importing some photos

Hello,
I have a macbook pro 13. This is my first mac. I was trying to import all my photo library to iPhoto (all the images folders in windows), but it's becoming impossible. Everytime I try to import my photos, iPhoto freezes in a particular photo and I can do nothing, I must force exit and restart the program. Then the program tries to re-import the photos but everytime happens the same. Besides, everytime it generates a new iphotolibraryrecovered folder.
My first thought was that importing a huge quantity of photos could be the problem, but it's not. Today I tried to import about 500 photos from a folder and everytime it freezes on the same photo. A solution could be deleting this photo or not importing it, but it's not a good solution, because in this folder this is the only photo with a problem, but when I try to import my 10000 photos, there are a lot of photos with this problem.
I'm using the last version of iPhoto.
Is there any solution to this problem? I'm I the only one who have this problem?
A lot of thanks and sorry for my poor english

Then the program tries to re-import the photos but everytime happens the same. Besides, everytime it generates a new iphotolibraryrecovered folder.
Quit iPhoto and go to your pictures folder (the default location) and right click (control Click) on the iPhoto library and select show package contents - find the folder named import (or importing) and drag it to the desktop - do not move or change anything else
Look in the import(ing) folder on the desktop and if there are any photos in it that still need to be imported do so and then trash the folder form the desktop
Everytime I try to import my photos, iPhoto freezes in a particular photo and I can do nothing, I must force exit and restart the program.
Is there anything special (or different) about this photo?

IPhoto Stalls while importing

Why would iPhoto stall while importing photos?
I recently used a Canon mount adapter on an old lens and took a few photos to test the lens on a Canon D30. I was capturing both RAW and JPG. The photos displayed as over exposed.
When I tried to sync (import) them into IPhoto, the program stalled on those photos. I was able to systemically import other photos (taken with other lenses) on the same card, but those RAW CR2 files from the older lens would not import properly.
Any reason why that might happen?
TPK

Tim
It's possible that the Exif data on those pics is incomplete or damaged because of the old lens. I suggest that as a possible reason because I've seen it happen with pics shot via Lensbaby glass. The incomplete Exif prevents the importation.
Not sure what you can do with the RAWs, but if you Open the jpegs with Preview and Save them, that might get them in.

Iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am usuin snowleapord. Any thoughts?

iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am using snowleapord 10.6.8. Any thoughts?

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 froze while importing photos from iPhone to Mac, unable to stop import

My iPhoto on my Mac Book Pro (Retina, 13-inch, 2.4 GHz intel core i5, 8GM memory 1600 Mhz DDR3, in the OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1) froze while I was importing pictures from my iPhone 6. I am unable to 'Stop Import', as when I press to stop the import my Mac does not respond. There is a continuous loading sign next to my iPhone device. I am still able to use other features of my Mac and iPhoto, only the import page is not responsive.

IPhoto - Error while importing Photos from Camera!

Hi,
Can any one help me with my issue, I am using a canon EOS40D, and sandisk Extreem2 Compact Flash Disk. Whenever I try to download images from my camera, it shows the images available on the camera in a thumb nail format in mac, but while downloading it says "one or more of the images could not be downloaded" and it lists all the images in the exceptions list. I tried the same operations with another camera too there also i had the same issue. If I copy a set of images from some other source to my Air laptop folder and from there if i try to import those images into this iPhoto it works properly! I tried reinstalling iPhoto many times without any luck. Somewhere I read that if i format my CF disk i should be able to download pics directly from my camera, but even that didnt work. I tried creating different image libraries iPhoto too, even then i had the same issue.
I also noticed that, many of my old pics that i had in this iPhoto, though it shows the thumbnail properly, when i click them to view in the full size it shows a warning exclamation symbol and not the pic! I am really tired of our iPhoto stuff.
The version of iPhoto is 9.1.1.
I have another MacBook Pro, there i have absolutely no issues and there i am using two year old version of iPhoto.
Can anyone help me here?
Thanks
Venu G

First step is to get the photos off the camera and reformat your memory card using the camera's format command
a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and the reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

Question: iphoto crashes with importing iphone 5 photos

Question: If I import photos from my iPhone5 iPhoto will crash. When I restart and reopen iPhoto I am told X number of photos did not import do I wish to reimport or disregard. If I try to reimport it will crash again.
I have an imac;
2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
MacOsX 10.7.5.
iPhoto 11 version 9.4.3 (720.91)
I have tried rebuilding the iPhoto database but it still crashes.
I have created a new test library just to try importing the photos from my iPhone, that works.
I have also reinstall my iphoto but it still crashes.
I have the latest crash log showing iPhoto crashing, I can upload parts of these if people tell me which parts are useful.
Please, help me.

I have created a new test library just to try importing the photos from my iPhone, that works.
That indicates that your original library is the culprit and needs to be repaired. Since you tried repairing it with iPhoto try the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
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
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: 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.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Iphoto hang while importing photos

Hi, my iphoto in macbook air hang while importing half way.
i cant quit the iphoto now.
pls advise hw can i shut down?

I recovered the pictures in "Today" but they are damaged. You see the pictures in iPhoto but they are very small and there is no information about the picture availabe (shuttertime, diafragma etc).
Those are not your photos, only the thumbnails used for display.
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 early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
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.

Cannot find imported iPhone photos in iPhoto?

Where do they go? They are not in last import? They are listed as "already imported"... I've tried importing to an album but none of them show up? I've tried straight import but none of them show up? Where are they?
I'm looking to do a mass dump of iPhone photos to clear space but this hurdle has gotten in the way.

Seriously? Does no one else have this problem?
I've been on Mac for 15 years, used iPhone from the beginning and I've never had an issue wtih this until now. uggh!!
Please help me find where my photos go, so I can dump my iPhone!

IPhoto crashing while importing photos

I have a Canon PowerShot SD1200. I've had a couple of minor issues since I got it, just at Christmas, but they seemed to resolve themselves. Now, iPhoto just won't import the photos that are on the camera - it crashes partway through the import process. I've had a couple of other cameras that I haven't had any trouble with. If anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks for the tip about Image Capture. I didn't know about it. When I downloaded using it, I discovered that there are some .avi files in there as well, which iPhoto obviously isn't dealing with very well. For some reason, my camera is not showing up as a drive or directory when it's plugged in, so I couldn't tell that before.
Cannon for some reason chooses not to have their camera mount to the desktop the way that most others do
I don't know the camera format command, but maybe I don't need it now.
It is documented in your camera manual and it is a good idea to use it regularly - the best work flow is to use a USB card reader, not ever have Photo delete your photos and after downloading the photos and fully testing them in iPhoto (and I wait for at least one backup cycle) then use the camera to format the card - this deletes the photos and renews the card format
The next best is to import from the camera and not delete - use the camera format command after testing (and backing up)
