IPhoto imports images from cache

I am new to OSX. i have an iPhone 5 and an iPad mini. i recently bought a MacBook Air and set up using all the same user name details. i've also connected all devices to iCloud.
when i first opened iPhoto i was pleased to see all my photos i had taken on the same day present and correct along with my recent (last month) photos taken on my iPhone/iPad
the next day i couldn't see my new photos within iPhoto so i hit import. it then literally grabbed everything. i have 25 duplicate pictures from my various i-Devices and iPhoto grabbed all images from fsCacheData. i've only had my MacBook 3 days and it imported over 6000 images in one hit!!
I've deleted all the dupes and cached images, but can someone tell me why this happened and how i can avoid this happening in the future? is there a setting i need to change?
thanks
Pete

What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? How are you syncing (PhotoStream, iTunes, Image Capture, WiFi import, cable import)?
Details are important to assisting you

How can I import images from iphoto with the albums and folders?

How can I import images from iphoto without losing the albums and folders I already created?

In Organizer, you can choose File>get Photos and Videos>From iPhoto.
Importing from iPhoto'09: If in iPhoto, you organize your media using photo references, that is, the media actually does not reside inside iPhoto library package, and are referenced through original locations, Organizer does not create new copies of those media and just refer to the original location. but if your iPhoto media reside inside iPhoto library, Organizer creates a copy all media in your pictures folder, also imports albums and tags and other metadata.
Importing from iPhoto'011: In this case, Organizer always creates a copy of your photos in your pictures folder which resides inside iPohto package. It does not import the albums and other metadata like star rating, caption etc.
Hope this information helps!

Trouble importing images from Canon EOS to iPhoto

When I returned from my daughter's wedding with about 400 irreplacable photos I discovered that I could not import photos from my Canon EOS to iPhoto on my iMac. When I initially connect my camera to the computer the images display perfectly. However, when I click "import all" the downloaded images all appear completely blank (gray). I don't have any difficulty importing images from my iPhone.

I have had a similar experience with a few greyed out images I did not bother too much because it was not important at the time. I was wondering if you could save them into another format or file and then try importing them from there.

Importing images from iPhoto to LightRoom 2

Hello Community!
Would there be any difference in importing images from the latest iPhoto into the older version of LR2, then when I upgrade to the latest LR would there be any issues with those (iPhoto) images imported into LR2 into the newer LR?
Just trying to avoid any issues that may come up when transferring images.
thank you in advance!
~A~

   Sounds perfect.
    I use iPhoto at the moment to organize personal/candid images.
    LR has gotten little use as I found myself jumping over to PS to retouch, etc..
   But want to start getting familiar with LR so when I upgrade the learning curve won't be as high.
    Thank you for following up. I appreciate you reply!

Difference between importing images from iphoto via drag & drop vs 'media' button

Hi (long time reader of this community, but my first post),
i'm creating a huge document (approximately 200 pages) in Pages (5.0.1, Using Maverick on a 27 inch iMac).
In the new version of Pages the "Media" button only produces small images that makes it difficult for me to choose which photo i want.
Is there a difference between importing images from iphoto drag & drop vs 'media' button.
Or is it better to just drag and drop the original jpegs (which i also have in a folder).
Is Pages the best program to use for this type of project? it is a profolio with about 4 photos, text, text boxes etc on each of the 200+ pages.
any help much appreciated.

Pages 4.3 might be up to the job. I very much doubt Page 5.0.1 is. It lacks more than 90 features of its predecessor and is very buggy to boot. You probably have an iwork09 folder in your Applications folder. I suggest you trash Pages 5.0.1 and use Pages 4.3 until Apple makestheir new "Eddie Cue" ready for prime time (if, that is, they ever do).

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)

Photos won't import images from my Canon camera. When connected, program sees the images, tells me it will import the new ones, then freezes once import starts, not allowing any other operation to happen. MacbookPro 15" 2012, OSX Yosemite 10.10.3.

Solution discovered. Faulty connector cable. Tried a different one and it worked.

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

How do I import images from a Canon scanner on Photo Elements 12 using a Mac

Hi
I have purchase a new Mac with the 10.9 version and I am using Photo Elements 12. I am trying to import images from my CanoScan 9000f scanner but I can't see the scanner in the Organizer, Files, Get Photos and Videos, there is no Scanner option. But I can use my scanner using the Canon Sofware for the scanner. Can you tell me what I have to do to be able to use my scanner directly on adobe Elements 12 ?
Simon

You do not use the 'Import' function under the File Menu to import P2 card content because the video content is still in its native form. For example, my Panasonic HPX 171 produces .MXF video files (amongst all the other files and folders within the overall heirarchy).
In order to access the copied P2 information you have to Log & Transfer it, as if it were a camera plugged into the computer. This process then converts the MXF P2 files into a Quicktime format that the Final Cut application can read and work with.
Take note that when archiving a P2 card as you did it is imperative that ALL the other files and folders are copied and saved. In other words, the entire 'CONTENTS' folder. It is this 'CONTENTS' folder that you navigate to within Log & Transfer when you want to import to FCP.

Import Image from scanner to database Direct ..

can any Colleagues help me ..
how can i Import Image From Scanner directly
if anyone can descuss code and how can i do that
thank for all Colleagues .......

You cannot.. unless you are prepared to get your hands dirty writing code to integrate a scanner API into Oracle.
Oracle has a feature called extproc. This allows you to define external "procedures" - these procedures are for example shared object libraries (Linux/Unix) or dynamic link libraries (Windows). A scanner API will be typically implemented by its driver as a shared object/DLL. Which means it is callable from within PL/SQL.
It may however not be usable - extproc does not support callbacks, does not own a window or process handle, and so on.
In which case you may need to wrap the DLL into a custom DLL that implements callbacks. perhaps create a hidden window if a window handle is needed, and so on.
In other words, this is not a trivial thing. You need to know more than just a bit about o/s side (systems) programming.
You should also ask yourself why you want to do this. Architecturally wiring a scanner into Oracle via PL/SQL and an extproc interface make absolutely no sense at all.
Especially since operator input/control is required to physically manage device... That is on the very opposite side of the Oracle server spectrum. That is clearly a client function to interact with such a device and not a server function.

Can I import images from DVD to my HDD through bridge (I have Win 7

Hi,
I'm using Win 7 (and also have Bridge on Mac OS X). I'd like to import images from DVD to my HDD through Adobe Bridge. But I can't find the option to import from DVD in Bridge (either in Win 7 or Mac). My DVD drive on my Win machine is external while I have the regular internal DVD drive on my Macbook Pro. I'm trying to import images from DVD to HDD through Bridge. Go through the first round of select/reject through Bridge and then take them to LR for further edits.
I currently copy them from DVD drive to a USB pen drive. And then using the Bridge import dialog (when I plug in the USB again) copy them to my HDD. I do this becuase I also need to batch rename my files, add metadata and keywords during import. The simple copy/move function won't allow these additions and so I have to resort to this workaround of DVD to USB to HDD (thru Bridge). If I can import directly from DVD through bridge, it'll save me quite some time.
Look forward to assistance pls.
Thx,
Chinmoy

I feel a bit silly now. For 2 days I struggled and then posted my Q.
After posting the Q, I figured it out in about 15 minutes.
Insert DVD.
Open Br
Navigate to DVD
Select all images
Right Click - Batch Rename
Choose Destination Path and New file name.
And go!
If you've had the same problem I did, hope this helps.

I cannot import images from my camera directly into Elements Organizer

I am trying to import images into Elements Organizer from my Canon EOS 6D, but it doesn't work properly. I am expecting the images to appear in the Elements Organizer, but the images are only imported onto disk. At the moment I have to re-import images from the disk location as a second step. How can I perform this in one step, as I have seen this in the tutorials?
I am on a Mac using Yosemite using version 13 of Elements Organizer.

There is no "into". LR and PS just reference your photos on the hard drive.
When you import your photos "into" the LR catalog, LR can copy the images off your memory cards to the hard drive if you have not already copied them, but the photos are referenced by the LR catalog by the path and filename for the files.
If you are having problems getting the images off the cards, what steps are you using and what error messages are you getting?

Problem with importing images from Nikon S60

I have been using photoshop elements for several years - currently on Version 8. I've had no issues importing images from my Nikon D70 - I choose the option to store the images in folders by "shot date" and this has always worked.
My wife has started using a Nikon S60 to take photos - when trying to import these photos they all end up in a folder with today's date. I've treid a couple of times to be sure that I didn't make a mistake in setting the import options. I've checked the "properties" of the images and the date their shows the shot date...
any ideas?

Seems unusual behavior. I guess the obvious thing to do is to simply rename the folder although that’s a bit annoying.
Have you tried selecting one of the other shot date formats from the downloader, perhaps to match the camera date format?
