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.

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.

Ok somehow my sister deleted all my photos off my photo booth and now all my pictures in my iphoto i cant view them i just see white dots and boxes can anyone tell me how i can get my deleted photos back and how can view my photos again please !!!

ok so somehow my sister deleted all my photos off photo booth and now all my photos on iphoto i cant view them i want to know how i can get my deleted photos back and how to view the rest of my photos please help !!!!

Phonebooth is in your home folder under pictures with Iphoto and Ichat. Deleting pigtures from phonebooth should not remove any from Iphoto library. Something else had to happen.

Iphoto is not responding. I just finished importing all of my downloaded pictures (about 1,000) into iPhoto now this happens. I have version 9.5.1

Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
For the annoying start-up message:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

How do I import all my photos from my iPhone into iPhoto?

Following the directions for importing, iPhoto only shows 131 photos for importing which seems to be a random selection from my 21 different files containing almost 1100 photos. I want to import all my photos and would prefer they import in the labeled files that I have on my iPhone. Why is this so difficult?
Thanks for any help provided!!
Steve

see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Note that
You can import only photo and video content taken with the built-in camera or captured on the device.
In other words the camera roll photos
If you have PhotoStream you can add the other photos to PS and import to your Mac from PS

How can I import all photos from iPhoto and delete all the ones currently on my iPad?

I uploaded all of my iPad's photos to iPhoto('08) thinking it would be easier to delete and organize them. Now that I've done that in iPhoto I need help finding out how to delete all the photos from the iPad and have the iPhoto photos imported from iPhoto back to the iPad.

This workflow may do what you want:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library.
2 - connect the iPad to your Mac with the new library open.
3 - import all of the photos from the iPad into the new library.
4 - select the option to delete all of the photos from the iPad.
5 - disconnect the iPad and delete the new library.
6 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select your original library.
7 - assemble the photos destined for the iPad so you can easily identify them by album or event which you alread have done.
8 - launch iTunes and connect the iPad to your Mac.
9 - go to the photos section for you iPad and synce those particular albums or Events with the iPad.
That will get those specific iPad photos back into the iPad.

I'm trying to import photos from my SD card into iPhoto, which I have done many times before, but now I'm not seeing the "Import All" button to start the import.

I have an iMac, with an SD card slot, equipped with iPhoto '11(v9.2.3), and until recently have imported photos from my SD card without problem. But now, after turning on iPhoto, and inserting my SD card, nothing happens, except that a "canon_dc" icon appears on my desktop. The "Import All" button no longer displays above my previously imported photos and I am, therefore, unable to complete the photo import. Has something changed?

By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...

I inadvertently imported all of my iPhoto videos to my iMovie library. I have tried everything possible to delete them. I still want to keep them in iPhoto however. What can I do?

I inadvertently imported all of my iPhoto videos to my iMovie library. I have been unable to delete them. How can I delete them from the iMovie library without deleting them fro iPhoto?

Did you import them into an Event Folder? Or are they still just showin up under the iPhoto Videos folder? Anything inside of the iPhoto Videos folder cannot be deleted, because it is under the full control and jurisdiction of iPhoto and is merely 'shared' from iPhoto and made visible to iMovie. Everything else can first be deleted, then moved to the Trash. To find the items that have been marked for deletion under iMovie '11 go to the pull-down tab at the bottom of the iMovie window frame labeled Show: and choose 'Rejected Only'. Then when you see all the clips with red stripes on them Select All (⌘ Command key + a). Then click on the button labeled Move rejected to Trash.

Itunes won't import all iPhoto pictures into iPhone or iPad

Don't know where this belongs so I posted it in the iPhoto group.
I recently updated to Lion (10.7.2). I currently use iPhoto 9.2.1 with itunes 10.5. I sync my my iPhoto pics (all events/albums/faces/etc) to my iPhone 3GS and iPad 2 (both iOS5). I recently imported three events to iPhoto. I have tried to sync my new events to my devices but the photo tally for each event is "0" in itunes. The events do not show on my devices after syncing. However, they still exist in my iPhoto library.
Additionally, when I recently tried to export the three events to a thumb drive, I received a message that the volume for those photos could not be found. I tried Find>Reveal in Finder but both options are greyed out. To remedy this problem I trashed the three events in iPhoto, deleted my iPod cache and reimported the three events. However, this did not fix anything. Essentially my new events are in my iPhoto library but they aren't "on my computer." If anyone can please help I will appreciate it!
PS - This seems to have happened after I updated my devices to iOS5. Would this have anything to do with it?

Hi, good news: it syncs again!
I wasn't sure how to reinstall everything (suggestions from different discussions) so I firstly deleted the "Archive" and all picture folders from iPhone:
Uncheck sync in the iTunes tab "Pictures" and "apply". iTunes asks whether to keep or to delete all previously synchronised pictures: answer "delete". (Or "remove", my iTunes speeks German :-))
Then check the button synchronise again and voila, it works. Magic, is'nt it?

What version of iPhoto?
Can you access the images with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?

New photo app does not import all of my photos from iphoto library

I have just installed 10.10.3 on my Macbook and the new photo app does not import all of my photos from iphoto library. I have about 3200 photos in the library and only 2300 are presented for import. I only have 1 library so I didn't choose the wrong one. Any suggestions?

Upon closer inspection it appears that the missing photos are in a folder called IPhoto Library. This folder is greyed out when I choose the import folder.
When I use 'show package contents' it reveals the missing photos (below). Why is my iphoto library so scrambled! Thanks for any insight.

IPhoto won't import all photos at once

I just got iPhoto 08 and also got a new camera. The iPhoto will not import all the photos from the camera (more than 100), but will importa a few selected, seems to accept about 5-6 max. Also, after doing that a couple of times, it won't import any more. It seems that if I start all over, unmount the camera and start all over, it will again allow me to import a few more photos. I still have 96 more to go. This is just awful. With the old iPhoto and the old camera, it was just so easy to import all the photos from my camera at once. I have over 5000 photos on the computer. I am really frustrated. I did not see this question addressed on the discussion board, and I'm wondering what I should do. The camera is a Sony Cybershot DSC-W80.

Lisa C:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't know of a solution but as a workaround you can use Image Capture, its preferences set which application to open when a camera is connected, to upload to a folder on the Desktop and then import the folder. If you title the folder as you want the Event to be titled it will create the Event with that name.
I use a card reader to do the same as it will save the camera's ports and battery and avoid possible upload aborts due to low battery and large number of photos to upload.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries. 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.

I downloaded pics from my camera to iphoto, forgot to click 'import all' and closed iphoto and deleted the pics from the camera. is there any way to retireve these pics?

I downloaded pics from my camera to iphoto on my macbook pro and forgot to click 'import all. Then i closed iphoto and deleted the pics from the camera. i know I'm screwed, but i'll give this a try, is there any way to retireve these pics?

Use an app like MediaRecover to get the pics back from the card.

Photos did not import all my iPhoto images

I have an iPhotos Library containing over 33,000 photos. When I attempted to import them into the new Photos app only 22,000 came across. I tried to open the old library again with iPhoto using the library in the same folder (Pictures) but the same photos were missing. Photos had obviously done something ,to not only fail to import all my images into the new library but had also removed them from my existing iPhoto Library as well. I suspect that there is a problem with Photos creating a large SQL database. I have repeated this a second time but with the same result.
The only work around I can find is to delete both the iPhoto and Photos libraries from the folder and recover yesterday's iPhoto library backup from Time Machine. Now when I go back to iPhoto all my photos are there again. This means that I have to keep using iPhotos and not continue with Photos until this problem is fixed.
Does anyone else have an answer?

Try repairing the iPhoto Library and see if that comes over correctly.
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.
