IPhoto Imported All JPGs. How do I stop it?

Recently, I was uploading pictures from my Canon camera onto iPhoto. All of a sudden, the computer decided it wanted to import all .jpgs on my computer into iPhoto. It also imported screen shots of recent websites I have visited. How do I stop this from happening, and how do I reverse what the computer has done without losing any of my pictures?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If it's still going on Force Quit out of iPhoto. There's no way to reverse the import. Do you have a backup copy of the library from just before you started the import? If so bring it back as your working library and start the import over again.
It sounds like somehow the Mac's hard drive icon was dragged onto the iPhoto icon.

  • Cannot import all JPGs

    Hi
    I've been using Lightroom 3 for about 6 months and had no problems at all. Recently I took a bunch of photos in JPG format with my Sony Alpha A350, when I went to import them half of the images were darkened and I can't select them for import. I've always used the same camera and not used any advanced features as I'm still a novice.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!
    Paul

    Thanks Hal
    I'm not sure what you mean by reformatting. Could you clarify please?
    On the card was 85 photos (30 of those are darkened). I selected new photos as you suggested and imported. But still there are only 55 photos in the library and not the full 85
    Any other suggestions?
    Cheers,
    Paul

    Paul, Darkened images in the Import grid mean that Lightroom figures those photos are already in the library. Did you shoot more images on the card without reformatting it? What happens if you choose "New Photos"?  http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-4193178-155633/450-102/Lightro om_2012-02-08_07-56-13.jpg Hal

    Hi,
    Close any open Internet Explorer windows.
    Open windows Control Panel, open Internet Options, click the Security tab and click Custom Level.  About half way down, under the heading Miscellaneous, there is an entry for 'Display Mixed Content' - click Enable and then Ok, then click Apply and Ok in the previous window.

  • When I transfer photos as events, they change their order from iPhoto on my Mac, how do I stop this?

    When I transfer photos as events, to my iPad they change their order from iPhoto on my Mac, how do I stop this?

    Thank you for your response.
    I am sorry I should have said Image Capture not Previews. The files end up as duplicates on my desktop or in Pictures. I was told by someone that the same thing happens in iPhoto as well as not being able to select which photos to save and that using Image Capture should be better.
    My iPhoto is version 8.1.2 and Image Capture is 6.0.1.
    Thanks

  • My iPhone contact list was appropriated and spam emails were sent to them all.  How do I stop this  from happening again?

    How can I stop my iphone contact list from being appropriated again?

    It was not, the more likely issue is that someone got access to your email contact list.
    Change your passwords for all your email accounts.

  • Iphoto importing all viewed webpages...?!

    Hi, my iphoto is importing every web page that I look at. I am hoping someone can tell me how to stop this and how to easily the delete the 1000s of pages that are being stored in there - thank you!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. To prevent this from happening further try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.
    See if that will stop it. Then follow Terence's suggestions.

  • Does not import all JPG photos from local folders

    Hi,
    Using Lightroom 5.3 under Windows 7.
    Photos are located on local disk.
    I received a selection of photos from our research project which I want to import.
    Most of the photos have been imported correctly.
    However, import of some 500 photos fails.
    "synchronize folder" detects the new photos (501)
    "synchronize" command reports that "no photos or videos were found to import"
    Windows security settings on the files are all the same (inherit from parent folder).
    Disk has enough empty space left (56 GB)
    The photos are in Jpeg format, typically around 500 to 2000 kB each.
    Produced from Photoshop CS5, up to 3267x2244 pixels at 300 dpi.
    Photos open correct in other viewers.
    Are the any limitations to
    - folder and file name length?
    - spaces in file names?
    Thanks in advance,
    Roger.

    JPGs will not import for one of the following reasons
    you have shot JPG+RAW on your camera and the Lightroom option is set only to recognize the RAWs but not the JPGs from the pair
    the JPGs have previously been imported into Lightroom, and so Synchronize or Import will not import them a second time (nor is there a good reason to import them a second time).

  • AE is clipping a fraction of a second off my imported WMV footage, how can I stop this happening?

    Hi all,
    I've created a new composition using some WMV footage and I want to add a bit of adobe illustrator art on at the end like a closing title. I don't need to extend the length of the movie, the art can just lay over the top of the imported footage.
    The problem I have is when I import the footage (File > Import > File...) I import the WMV file and once inside the composition After Effects trims a tiny bit off the end of the imported footage where there's a fade to white then it ends on a black screen. It wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't losing part of someone's sentence as it fades out.
    Can anyone help me please?
    For further info, I've set fps to 25 which is the same as the imported footage and I've tried importing it into longer compositions. Oh and also if it helps I'm working on a PC using After Effects 7 Professional.
    I wonder if it might be something to do with the fade out in the imported footage???
    Many thanks in advance for any responses.

    The issue is most likely with the source file. The last keyframe interval is not complete and thus AE makes wrong assumptions about the clip duration because it stops at the last full keyframe. This usuall happens, if you use VBR encoding in the WMV files and leave everything at the Automatic settings. If you plan on using WMV files for your work in Ae, you should export them differentlyx from whatever otehr app you use, that is with a fixed keyframe interval and a constant data rate. As Rick said, though, re-editing already compressed files is not the best way to work, so if you have full control over the source material, consider otehr file formats, CoDecs and so on...

  • Importing raw + jpg, how can I see both?

    when my camera is set to Raw + Jpg and i import into LR, the thumbnail I see says it is the raw , how can I see the jpg? Both Raw and jpg images are listed in Finder. thank you

    You need to configure the Import preferences so that JPEGs are treated as separate files. See attachment.

  • Facebook photos will be deleted from iPhoto?  Why and How do I stop it?

    How can I prevent my photos and albums on iPhoto from being deleted on Facebook?
    I am using my iphoto offline and deleting photos but there is a warning about facebook photos wil be deleted as well.
    I don´t want to lose all my photos that I posted while traveling.

    Thaty is the way it works  --  changes in albums posted to Facebook from iPhoto or kept in sync - changes made in either place are reflected in the other
    to avoid this you can change your factboo password and quit using iPhoto to post to Facebook
    You can upload diretly to Facebook using Safari rather that iPhto in the future

I am also new to the MACBOOK exprience so please give me the step by step process.

    Dont' worry - those aren't duplicate files or anything like that - just files that Spotlight has indexed. No way to get 'rid' of them without stopping Spotlight from indexing.

    I have multiple groups in the cloud. I have checked the group I want to use. the next time I go to my contacts they are all checked, how can I stop this?

    Are they coming from one forum (e.g. this one, 'iTunes Store'), or from just one thread ? If one community then what shows at the top right of the screen under the Notifications box for the forum - if it says 'stop email notifications' then click on it.

  • IPhoto import - a way to import specific albums?

    I was watching the instructional video DVD that came with aperture and have found it a very, very helpful tutorial in getting started. I am having a problem doing one of the things shown on it though. At the beginning of the second track, the video covers iPhoto import, and shows how you can import a specific album by Import > Files and choosing a specific album name within the iPhoto library. My iPhoto library, however, does not have any album names in it - only numbered folders. I'd like to be able to import my business photos only and not my personal photos into Aperture, or ideally both but with a separate aperture project for each photo session. But since the iPhoto hierarchy is just numbered folders, it is too confusing to find what i am trying to import. Do I have to export all my iPhoto albums separately into folders that I name individually, and then import those folders into Aperture?

    You need to
    1. Download the images to a folder on the desktop.
    It may be possible to download an entire album at a time, but that's a question for a Picasa forum
    2. Then import the folder to iPhoto.

  • Problem iPhoto imports triplicates of my iPhone photos

    Hello,
    When i want to import my iPhone photos on my mba'2012, iPhoto wants to import 3 times each photo.
    Instead of importing 1006 photos, iPhoto imports 3018 photos !! :-/
    For example, for a IMG_1500.jpg, iPhoto imports IMG_1550.jpg, IMG_1500_2.jpg and IMG_1500_3.jpg. (same size for each photo)
    Everything is fine in the Photos.app in my iPhone, i see the exact number of photos (1006).
    HDR is OFF
    So what the problem?
    Thanks in advance.
    For information:
    iPhone 4S 5.1.1
    MBA 2012
    iPhoto 9.3.2
    OS X Mountain Lion
    (On OS X Lion, i have the same issue)

    First, thanks to help me.
    For your question, here a screenshot of Image Capture:
    Always the same problem...
    This means that there a problem with my iPhone ?
