IPhoto import does not preserve rotation

Just installed the trial version, and imported my library from iPhoto. I used the option to keep the files in their original location.
When I view the images in aperture, many of the images are incorrectly rotated. Note that they display correctly in iPhoto and in MacOS Preview, but Aperture got em wrong. How can I fix this without manually going in and re-rotating everything in Aperture?

For anyone who is still following this thread, here's a summary of findings, along with a workaround.
Problem: Images imported from iPhoto are upside down, subject to the following constraints:
1) Only images that had keywords "iPhoto Original"
2) Very old images from my old Nikon E990 were unaffected. Also unaffected were scanned images that were pulled in from my Coolscan V.
3) Only images that were oriented in "Portrait" were affected.
Workaround:
1) In the Library tab, select "iPhoto Library". (This library was created via the iPhoto Import process.
2) In the filter box, create a filter matching "all" the following criteria:
- Text includes iPhoto Original
- Aperture Orientation is Portrait
3) Select all images that are upside down and click the "rotate" tool twice to flip 'em.
Note: If you have many portrait images, you can further filter by camera since it appears that older devices were not impacted.

Import button not active on Aperture import tool

I have a rMBP 15" (early 2013) model, and I was trying to import Aperture library (about 300GB) to Lightroom using import tool.
However, as I try to Import, Number of Image/video files and Disk space required remained undetermined and Import button has not been active for two hours.
What can I do? Just wait?

I too have exactly the same problem (the "Import" button on the Lightroom plug-in to import from Aperture library is not available).
The import button on the Adobe plug-in tool to import from my Aperture library is not available. It's greyed out.
I've tried the "repair permissions" option in Aperture ("Command+Options keys held while starting Aperture.app on my iMac). Aperture appears to fix the file permissions successfully (no error messages). However, the Adobe Lightroom import tool still shows the "Import" button greyed out.
I've tried the "repair database" option in Aperture ("Command+Options keys held while starting Aperture.app on my iMac). Aperture appears to fix the database successfully (no error messages). However, Adobe Lightroom import tool still fails to show an active "Import" button (still greyed out).
Finally, I've tried the "rebuild database" option in Aperture ("Command+Options keys held while starting Aperture.app on my iMac). Aperture appears to rebuild the database successfully (no error messages). However, Adobe Lightroom import tool still fails to show an active "Import" button (still greyed out)
The vital statistics for my aperture file are:
Version: Aperture Library 3.6
Filename: Aperture Library.aplibrary
Filesize: 136.08 GB
# Projects: 403
# Photos: 27,392
Permissions:
    myself     Read + Write
    staff         Read
    everyone Read
This is very frustrating. Did Adobe rush this import tool out too quickly without adequate testing?
Adobe, if you are listening please fix this issue with your Aperture import tool ASAP. Otherwise, I and a lot more users will be asking for our money back on the Creative Cloud plan we selected and are now paying for on a monthly basis!

When using iCloud Photo Library: Delete photos after iPhoto-import, or not?

Now this issue may belong into iCloud, iPhoto or iPhone section as well, so I hope it’s ok to put it here …
Before iCloud Photo Library appeared on stage, I would regularly sync my iPhone camera roll with iPhoto. Then (upon iPhotos request) I'd have them deleted from my iPhone. And finally I'd sync back with iTunes - where I had set it to sync "all photos from last 12 months".
However, now I have turned on iCloud Photo Library on my iPhone, and am quite happy so far. Nonetheless - as it still is in beta - I prefer to additionally sync with iPhoto, so as to have my originals safely stored locally.
That said, after importing into iPhoto I wonder if I still should say „yes“ to the "Delete from iPhone" popup? I tested it, and to my surprise all „deleted“ photos remain untouched and available on my iPhone - say in iCloud Photo library! When I agreed to delete them, I expected that they’d all disappear into thin air. But that is not the case.
So what’s happening here? What is the sense of „yes, delete“ when these pics do *not* get deleted then?
Of course I'd *want to keep them* in iCloud Photo Library, but anyway, I don't understand this behaviour at all. And as some friends have asked the very same question, I thought to ask you Apple specialists here. Thank you in advance for giving me deeper insight into Apples actual photo handling secrets.

No idea about this, anybody?

IPhoto import does not show thumbnails

Since upgrading to iPhoto 9.2.1 on my wifes iMac the thumbnails do not come up for import when inserting a SD card. In order to import we have to go to Files>Import to Library and a list of images comes up, not the thumbnails. How can we get the thumbnails to come automaticaly when inserting a SD card?

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 import is not seen

I imported pictures from iPhoto, which were downloaded from the internet, yet I cannot see them in my iPhotos that appear in iMovie.

Go to iPhoto's General Preference pane and turn off the Show last 16 month album and then turn it back on. See if that will jump start that feature.

I recently updated to the latest version of Yosemite. My iPhoto icon was not active. I updated to the latest iPhoto and now I can't find my photos or use iPhoto. What is up?

I need help with updating and using iPhoto. I have lost all my pictures and can't open iPhoto.

You need to give a full description of your problem. What version do you have? What happens when you try to open iPhoto? What help do you need updating? Remember we can't see your machine.

HT5449 There seems to be one important command not mentioned which I accidentally stumbled upon that is "space bar" to create a space. Is this correct and intentional?

For anyone wondering how to use the space bar in Mac dictacte, just say "space bar".

The command "Import" is not currently available

I am getting the error "The command "Import" is not currently available", when I try to use a custom Import plug-in inside a Photoshop action. I am having trouble finding any information about this error. Is the Import command not supported by PS Actions, or am I just doing something wrong?

My Import plug-in accepts a single image filename to import. I added scripting for the image filename, and recorded an action in the Actions palette. So far so good. Now I want to automate that action to do multiple imports using Automate->Batch. So, in the Batch UI: I set Action to "myImportAction"; set source to "Folder"; check "Override Action 'open' command"; and "OK".
This doesn't quite work. Currently this opens the same image, (the one I specified when I recorded "myImportAction") once for every image file in the Folder. I'm not sure of the next step to pump the filenames from the specified folder through the plug-in. Is the problem in how I set up Automate->Batch?

After editing a RAW photo in PE13 (my External Editor) sent from Apple's iPhoto, I can not reimport the edited photo bank into my iPhoto library. The "Import to Library" command is greyed out. This was not the case before the latest PE13 RAW update versio

After editing a RAW photo in PE13 (my External Editor) originally sent from Apple's iPhoto, I can not reimport the edited photo back into my iPhoto library. The
"Import to Library" command is greyed out. This was not the case until the latest PE13 update (Camera Raw Version 8.7.1.311). What needs to be done
to reimport edited photos back into my iPhoto library? Ideas?

Launch PSE Expert Mode and go to:
Photoshop Elements Editor >> Preferences >> Saving Files (tab)
Set the drop-down dialog
On First Save : Save Over Current File
Click OK.
When you have finished editing in PSE use Cmd+S to save (not Save As)

HT3149 iPhoto 09 When I click on the preview pane to move a photo into edit, it shows up black and the edit buttons are not active. How do I fix that?

When I click on the preview pane to move a photo into the edit pane, there is no image just a black square and the edit buttons are not active. A few images in an event will move to the edit pane but most will not. I cannot work with those images that do not enter the edit pane..no attaching to email, make a card, slideshow, etc.

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:

Can iphoto be confgured not to import movies from the camera?

Hello, Does anyone knows if iphoto 8 can be configure not to try to import the movies stored on the camera? It cause the import process to be very difficult trying to select only the photos to be imported and leave the movies to be imported by imovie. I will like iphoto only to import photos and imovie to import movies.

No there is no way to specifically tell iPhoto not to import movies.
However, if you sue a camera that mounts on the desktop (or, in the case of a Canon camera, use a USB Card Reader) you can direct iPhoto to import from the Photos folder on the Card using the File -> Import Command
