IPhoto iPhone import failed but storage full
Hi guys
I recently tried to import a rather large library from my partners iPhone - she's been sitting on a backlog of photos. This took a long, long time and eventually failed to import in iPhoto.
I cancelled and removed the iPhone.
However, my Macbok Pro is now almost full in terms of storage and it seems that this failed import added about 10-15GB worth of storage on to my machine, but I can't see them in iPhoto. Where could these files be so I can delete them?
Thanks,
Ian
my Macbok Pro is now almost full in terms of storage
Big Question:
How Big is your hard disk? How much free space on it?

Tried to take photo w/ iphone 4s. Got "storage full" message. Deleted a good bit of content: video, music, some apps. Phone still shows "0 bytes availible". What's the deal?
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

want help - give us details - with what you gave us one can not even make wild guesses
How did you backup and how did you restore? what versions of iPhoto and the OS. What exactly does "won't let me view them" mean? Why are you restoring a backup? what other details can you provide that might let someone actually help you?

Hello... when I plug in my iPhone to sync, it opens iPhoto where I can view photos/videos I can import. The issue I have is that some of the pictures or videos come up blank and I cannot see what it is. I quit and come back, resync, etc, it's always the same pictures/videos that just do not show what the item is.
The same happens in Image Capture, but instead of being blank, it just shows the icon of a JPEF file instead of a pictures.
Does anyone know why this happens?There really isn't anything different about them. All of them are in my Camera Roll and all of them have been taken with the iPhone 4. None of the affected pictures are imports from a previous generation iPhone either. I just have taken them and noticed that the pictures are missing when I'm importing. I should point out that the import works fine, it's just that I cannot see what I'm importing sometimes.

I am getting the " could not complete backup, disk is full " error when trying to backup an iphone 4, but there is plenty ( 200+g) of space free on the hard drive. Any ideas?
( already restarted/cleared previous backups )
Thanks in advance.happened to me once.
next step depends
do you have a recent good backup already?
anything backed up to the cloud?

did you try update direct from phone or using Itunes? (newer Iphones will older will not)

[iPhoto 8] Import failed - Photos on hold...
After i got a new iMac with iPhoto 8 i imported the older Photos from my Powerbook into it. During the import something failed and i had to close iPhoto. When i start iPhoto now, everytime a Msg appears "There are 359 Photos not imported, import now?" If i choose "yes" the same happens, it fails and i have to restard iPhoto. If i choose "no", the message appears every Start from iPhoto...
So how can i delete this message?
And sorry for my bad english...Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Make sure you are running iPhoto 7.1. If you're not then update to that version and reopen iPhoto. That should take care of it.
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. -
Iphone 6 - falsely reporting storage full
I know for a fact that I should have 20+ GB of space available but my IPhone 6 seems to think that its out of space. I tried syncing it with my PC based on a tip I received online and it worked but the issues started again. This time sync'ing does not help. I tried to restore the phone from a back up but could not do that because the phone did not have enough space available. This is a major issue...I am completely blocked from doing anything when it thinks that it is out of space. Help!!!
Restore the phone as a new device. Then try restoring your most recent backup. If that fails, there's probably something corrupt in your backup. You'll need set up your phone from scratch.

Importing into iPhoto - thumbnails but no full-size pics
I'm setting up a new iMac with OS X Lion (10.7.2) and iPhoto '11 (9.1.5).
I've Imported to Library over 1,000 photos from iPhoto '08 (7.1.5) from the originals folder. They show up fine and I can see them as Events (after autosplitting) and Photos but when 1 choose one and click on it, I see a black screen. At the top is the date taken (top left) and on the right 6 of 6 (for example) showing how many are in the event. At the bottom are the thumbnails. When I show information, I can see how it was captured, the pixels and the file size plus a photo number and a date. When I resize with the zoom bottom left , I can see a thumbnail of what is happening but no full siz photos.
Can anyone suggest what is wrong or what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help you may be able to offer.
JohnThere 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). 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:
Hold down the option (or alt) key 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? -
I barely have any apps, only 36 pictures and 600 songs yet my iphone says it's almost full in storage. But when I add up all the totals of my usage it's half of what my phonse says its using. whats up?
Connect to itunes and see where it says the storage is being used.
-
Some more information:
- I have iPhoto '11 and, in iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1;
- I started having this issue about 2 months ago, but I can't associate it with any changes or updates;
- with iTunes, the behaviour is absolutely normal...No, your iPhone and your iPad should not appear in the finder.
I'm not sure what you mean about downloading photos with iPhoto being double handling, but you can download direct to a folder with Image Capture. Image Capture can also be used to delete photos from the Camera Roll on the iPhone or iPad (preferrably after they are downloaded).
You can remove the photos you synced from your phone with iTunes by syncing again with an empty folder, That will delete all the photos that were previously synced that way, replacing them with the contents of the empty folder (that is, nothing). This will not effect photos takes with the camera on your iPhone. -
Icloud storage full. Can I delete my iPhone icloud backup with keeping my iCloud data unharmed (since my iPad has iCloud storage turned on, and I wouldn't be turning iCloud off on my iPad). BTW, I use iTunes for music and photo albums; iCloud for contacts, notes, etc. Then turn iCloud back up back on on iphone to see if I had a problem file and the storage changes?
ICloud storage full. I deleted messages, moved the camera roll to my PC, deleted Safari bookmarks, turned off almost every app in Managing iCloud storage. I turned off the backup, restarted iCloud backup and did a manual backup yet my storage gets larger yet.
Makes no sense. I have a iPhone and iPad. It's the iPhone showing this large iCloud storage 3.6 GB (when the iPad has more apps and only 716MB).ANSWER to my Question above: YES.
I took a chance, as I could find NO information regarding my question, and DELETED MY ICLOUD BACKUP (not my ICLOUD account). I then turned ON my ICLOUD BACKUP and whew! It plummeted from 4.8 GB full out of 5 GB TO: 1.2 GB full out of 5 GB.
I even turned on more settings to back up and it still shows 1.2 GB full in ICLOUD, 3.8 available. No more emails to say I am running out of ICLOUD space.
[For what its worth if others are getting messages their ICLOUD is almost full, and you don't have all that much on ICLOUD. Then when you even delete apps, messages, camera roll, turn off almost ALL icloud back ups and features the ICLOUD backup grows even larger. My ICLOUD kept increasing in size while I was decreasing my ICLOUD storage in Managing storage.]
(All my ICLOUD contacts, notes, Safari bookmarks, were returned in place.) -
IPhone 4 and iPhoto 9 import issue
I just bought an iPhone 4 to replace my iPhone 3GS a few days ago. I finally had a chance to try its camera this weekend. Much to my surprise, all the photos I imported into iPhoto 9 on my MacBook Pro lost their XIF and geotag data once they landed in my iPhoto 9 library. I deleted the photos from my iPhone 4 so I couldn't go back to verify that the information was there. So tonight, I went out for a walk and I shot a few more photos with my iPhone 4. Instead of importing them into iPhoto 9, I used Image Capture to import them from my iPhone 4 into my MBP's Pictures folder. Then I checked and all the XIF and geotag data survived the transfer. I then imported the photos into iPhoto 9 by dragging them onto its icon in the Dock. I then was able to view the XIF and geotag data from within iPhoto 9.
So my question is, why can't iPhoto 9 import the XIF and geotag data in photos directly from the iPhone 4? Is there any way I can fix this via some optional setting or am I do I need to wait for Apple to resolve this issue?Stanley Horwitz wrote:

I don't have any problem importing photos from my iPhone 4 with iPhoto '09 (v 8.1.2)--it just works, so I really don't know what might be going wrong. I import by selecting my iPhone 4 in the iPhoto Devices and then select the ones I want to import and click on import selected. It has never failed to also import the EXIF data including the geolocation/camera info. -
IPhone no longer shows in iPhoto to import photos after 9.2 and iOS 5 updates
For some reason my iPhone 4S doesn't show in iPhoto to import photos. Oddly, iPhoto will launch when I plug into sync, but the phone does not show. Also, the phone doesn't show in the Image Capture application.
Same problem but I noticed that plugging my iphone or ipad in will launch iphoto and the device will show up on the left and new photos from the device will display. However, the devices don't show up on the left if iphoto is already running when when I plug them in. It's an easy workaround to turn iphoto off before plugging the device in but it's not the way it was before upgrading to IOS5 and 9.2.

Hello! I recently replaced my tragically crashed Macbook Pro 2008 with a newer model and transferred my volumous iphoto library of 20 000+ photos to my new machine. To be able to use my iphoto '08 library with Aperture I had to upgrade the library in the iphoto '11 version. I left the computer on during the day, and when I got back it seemed to work fine. I browsed my library in Aperture and could see all the thumbnails, but looking closer I noticed a small yellow warning triangle with an arrow in the corner of some pictures. Turns out all pictures from before ~2010 are lost! When I wiev the photos I see nothing but the infinite black of the data void.
Here's how I've tried to fix the problem:
1. Opening the iPhoto Library package in Finder. All the folders for the earlier dates are there, but they are empty. I notice no incorrect or impossible dating, which seemed to be a common problem among users who's libraries where corrupted during the upgrade process.
2. Rebuilding the iphoto library in iphoto. No effect.
3. Recovering the iphoto library from my Time Machine Backup. SInce my old hard drive was just 200 GB, I stored all pictures older than one year on my external hard drive (note that about half of those pictures were successfully imported/upgraded). Both the internal and the external hard drive where backed up using Time Machine on a NAS from Seagate (Black Armor 110, 3TB). I was able to access backed up files on my external drive through Time Machine on my old computer, but since it is now rendered unbootable I tried using Migration Assistant to let my new computer inherit the old backup. However, I could not find the backup of the external drive in Migration Assistant, just my old internal drive. When I tried to access the backup volume on my NAS through Finder it didn't show up (I could find it that way on my old computer).
4. Googling "iPhoto library upgrade failed", or "Inheriting Time Machine backup of external drive", and similarily desperately specific phrases - Nothing useful. Other people seems to have had problems with corrupt Libraries, but I'm not sure that's the case here.
My pictures must exist somewhere on my computer and in a backup on my NAS. I just can't find them! Do anyone have a clue to what may have gone wrong? I'm afraid the computer might have gone to sleep during the upgrade, because I didn't thinkabout adjusting the power saving settings before starting it. But since pictures 1-8000-something are missing, it doesn't seem to have worked properly during the whole beginning of the upgrade, not just during the middle. As I knew I had a backup of the library I didn't worry about upgrading the single functional copy. From now on I will think thrice before doing anything as serious as this.
I am eternally grateful for any answers that might help me recovering my photos!
//Teodor Nilsonb) I split up my photo collection into two iphoto libraries. One for the new photos stored on my internal HD and one for photos older than one year stored on my external HD
And exactly How did you Split up your iPhoto library?
c) I used Migration Assistant in an attempt to access the Time Machine backup of my old MBP from my new MBP (by inheriting the backup). When I made my backups, I made sure Time Machine included the external HD. But Migration Assistant could only find the backup of my Internal HD with the library of new photos!
And again
You should not use Migration assistant on an iPhoto library - it generally does not work
and
d) When signing in and mounting the NAS in Finder, I used to be able to see a Time Machine backup folder/icon. Now I was unable to locate it.
I believe you are using your NAS for your Time Machine backup. If your Time Machine backup and/or your iPhoto library is on a NAS you will have problems - both need to be on Mac formatted volumes - the least troublsome is a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)

Manually preparing a new disk for Time Machine
If you want to erase a disk before using it with Time Machine, follow these steps:
Open Disk Utility (located in the Utilities folder).
Connect the disk if it isn't already attached.
In the left side of the Disk Utility window, select the disk you want to use with Time Machine.
Optional: If you want to partition the disk, click the Partition tab and select a layout. Make sure "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" is selected in the Format menu for the partition that will be used for backups. Click Apply.
Click the Erase tab.
Optional: If you want to securely erase the disk, click Security Options to configure, then click OK.
Click Erase.
After erasing, open Time Machine preferences in System Preferences and configure as described in the section above.
Are the iPhoto libraries kept on an external drive formated Mac OS extended (journaled)? Or are they on the NAS? - If you are using the NAS for iPhoto and/or Time Machine that is the source of your problems
