Iphoto isn't importing iphone photos

When I try to close IPhoto it says : Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete.  This happens when I am not trying to import any photos.  Then when I have my IPhone connected it will not allow me to select either import selected, or import all (buttons are greyed out).  Help please

If your iPhone is plugged into the computer - unplug it. Press and hold the power button. After the computer turns off release the button. Then press and release the power button (as normal) to turn the computer on.

  • Iphoto freezes while importing iphone photos.

I am trying to sync and it syncs through itunes fine but iphoto freezes halfway on same photo (number each time -I have deleted the photo it stops on but that didnt help.) I have tried force quit and restarting but it does the same thing. Help! I have a new laptop is there a way to sync my old iphone to the new laptop without losing everything? Thanks!

    Try getting the photos off the iPhone using Image Capture in your Applications folder.

  • Can't import iPhone photos into iPhoto because of permission...

    I go in iPhoto, click on the iphone then click on import all and then I get this error message which i will translate from French.
    ''iPhoto ne peut pas importer vos photos dans cette photothèque car iPhoto ne peut pas y accéder.''
    iPhoto can not import your photos in this library because iPhoto can not access it.
    Then it says : Repair your library authorisation in iPhoto.
    So i tried to cmdaltclick on iphoto and repair permissions...but it doesn't work.

    iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am using snowleapord 10.6.8. Any thoughts?

    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 isn't importing my iPhone photos?

    When I try and import my photos off my iPhone into iPhoto, it says there was an error downloading one photo and doesn't import any of the photos? PLEASE HELP, I realllllllllly need to get these photos off my phone.
    If you don't know how to fix it, is there any where else or way I can download them on to my laptop?

    Close itunes and try.
    Sometimes iTunes tried to access the iPhone at the same time and that it what causes issues.
    There is a great app built into OSX that is rarely used but great to get photos off cameras or iPhones.
    Look for Image Capture in your apps folder.
    This can grab the photos and video off easily and much faster then iPhoto.
    You could also use a wifi transfer app, wifi photo transfer is a great app that I use all the time.
    Look at which photo or video is giving you the problem, and you could download just that one via Wifi Photo Transfer, and then delete it off the iPhone.
    Then try with iPhoto again.

  • Question: iphoto crashes with importing iphone 5 photos

    Question: If I import photos from my iPhone5 iPhoto will crash. When I restart and reopen iPhoto I am told X number of photos did not import do I wish to reimport or disregard. If I try to reimport it will crash again.
    I have an imac;
    2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
    memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    MacOsX 10.7.5.
    iPhoto 11 version 9.4.3 (720.91)
    I have tried rebuilding the iPhoto database but it still crashes.
    I have created a new test library just to try importing the photos from my iPhone, that works.
    I have also reinstall my iphoto but it still crashes.
    I have the latest crash log showing iPhoto crashing, I can upload parts of these if people tell me which parts are useful.
    Please, help me.

    I have created a new test library just to try importing the photos from my iPhone, that works.
    That indicates that your original library is the culprit and needs to be repaired.  Since you tried repairing it with iPhoto try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Cannot find imported iPhone photos in iPhoto?

    Where do they go?  They are not in last import?  They are listed as "already imported"... I've tried importing to an album but none of them show up?  I've tried straight import but none of them show up?  Where are they? 
    I'm looking to do a mass dump of iPhone photos to clear space but this hurdle has gotten in the way.

    Seriously?  Does no one else have this problem?
    I've been on Mac for 15 years, used iPhone from the beginning and I've never had an issue wtih this until now.  uggh!!
    Please help me find where my photos go, so I can dump my iPhone!

  • From Photos for Mac, how does one delete imported iphone photo?

    IPhoto had this feature where when after it has imported all of my iPhone photos, it would ask me if I want to delete the imported photos from my iPhone.  Also, it has a button to delete all photos from my iPhone if I choose to.  Does anyone know if this very nice feature is still available in the new Photos for Mac?
    I really like this feature to clear all of my photos with one click, instead of having go thru one by one.

  • Help! iMovie isn't importing still photos properly. I get multiple copies of the same photo!

    Hello all. iMovie is acting very ornery, and I need help -- or I'll never get my 2011 slideshow completed in time!
    I am trying to import several still photos into my movie project. In the past, I have simply dragged and dropped the appropriate photos from the iMovie photo browser into my project. Everything works — the way it should be with Apple products.
    Suddenly, iMovie doesn't want to play nice. No matter what photos I drag into the timeline, iMovie inserts multiple copies of one of the video clips that's already in my movie. The photos don't show up. If I play the movie, I get a blank screen where the photo/video should be.
    Is anyone else experiencing this probem? Is there an easy way to fix it?
    The following picture and text should help explain what I'm doing:
    Here are the steps I'm taking:
    1. I select one or several photos from the iMovie photo viewer (on the bottom right-hand side of the window.) -- In this case, I've selected 10 very different photos.
    2. I drag the photos into the project.
    3. iMovie appears to import the photos.
    4. I see 10 identical thumbnails in my project. They appear to be the same as the very last video clip in the project. However, when I scrub these thumbnails, or play the movie, I see a black screen.
    I've tried dragging the photos directly from iPhoto, or from the desktop, and still the same thing happens.
    HELP!
    Dave

    Thanks wesehrt. I had one jpeg such as "ALL_CAPS.jpeg" --- straight from my iPhone, imported/tweaked in Aperture no less ... and renamed it without the underscore and it worked.
    But I wasn't getting multiple copies or black screens. The image would import and I'd see the thumbnail in the project timeline, but what actually rendered was the last frame of the preceding video clip.

  • Not all the pictures in iPhoto album show on iPhone photo

    In one album in Iphoto not all the pictures show on Iphone photo album?

    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 the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

  • 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.

    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.

  • IPhoto won't import new photos from Photo Stream.

    Hello,
    iPhoto won't import new taken pictures from Photo Stream. When I disable and then re-enable Photo Stream, all pictures will be imported to iPhoto. But when I take some more pictures, these won't appear in Photo Stream (until disabling/enabling Photo Stream in iPhoto).
    Anyone with similar experience?

  • IPhoto not responding importing some photos

    Hello,
    I have a macbook pro 13. This is my first mac. I was trying to import all my photo library to iPhoto (all the images folders in windows), but it's becoming impossible. Everytime I try to import my photos, iPhoto freezes in a particular photo and I can do nothing, I must force exit and restart the program. Then the program tries to re-import the photos but everytime happens the same. Besides, everytime it generates a new iphotolibraryrecovered folder.
    My first thought was that importing a huge quantity of photos could be the problem, but it's not. Today I tried to import about 500 photos from a folder and everytime it freezes on the same photo. A solution could be deleting this photo or not importing it, but it's not a good solution, because in this folder this is the only photo with a problem, but when I try to import my 10000 photos, there are a lot of photos with this problem.
    I'm using the last version of iPhoto.
    Is there any solution to this problem? I'm I the only one who have this problem?
    A lot of thanks and sorry for my poor english

    Then the program tries to re-import the photos but everytime happens the same. Besides, everytime it generates a new iphotolibraryrecovered folder.
    Quit iPhoto and go to your pictures folder (the default location) and right click (control Click) on the iPhoto library and select show package contents - find the folder named import (or importing) and drag it to the desktop - do not move or change anything else
    Look in the import(ing) folder on the desktop and if there are any photos in it that still need to be imported do so and then trash the folder form the desktop
    Everytime I try to import my photos, iPhoto freezes in a particular photo and I can do nothing, I must force exit and restart the program.
    Is there anything special (or different) about this photo?
