Iphoto 6 Import Problem

Howdy All,
Every time I import a set of photos into Iphoto, the import function locks up at the end of the import, thus requiring me to force quit the program (when I just simply try to quit, i get a window telling me the import process is still going on).
When I re-open the program, my photos are properly imported and I can go along my merry way, but it's frustrating having to do this (force quit & exit) every time. Any ideas what the cause of this is and what the solution is?
Thanks All.

Howdy.
A rebuild of the database might help. Hold the Option and Command keys while launching iPhoto. Check the first 3 choices and leave it to work for a while.
Those force quits could eventually corrupt your database file. To protect yourself, make a duplicate of the file called Library6.iPhoto which is inside your iPhoto Library folder. (Do this in Finder.) Move the copied file out of the iPhoto library. Then if your library does have a catastrophic failure, you can replace that file with the one you backed up and restore your library.

IPhoto 5 import problems

I have a Canon PowerShot s40 with 128 mb card. I have about 71 photos on the card. When i connect with USB cable, the imaged import fragmented or combined with other photos. On the camera they view fine. I also get a message window after I cancel the import saying that certain jpg files (still trmporary) had issues.
So some pictures come in fine, some are combined with other pictures, and some wont transfer. Any help here? Thanks!

Hi giz-mo,
I had this problem when my camera's battery was low and I did the import to iPhoto. Try charging the battery fully before you import. I lost my photos from that import because I had iPhoto delete the photos from the camera after import. I suggest you make sure iPhoto's preferences are set to not delete photos from the camera.

JPG import problems

All of a sudden, all JPEG image files I attempt to import are of poor quality. It is as if the thumbnails are being used as the image file. RAW images import fine. JPEG's imported to iPhoto are fine also. Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks in advance!

Somewhat similar problem. Imported 2 JPGs. They showed up correctly, I stacked them then clicked on vault update and (the top one—can't see lower one as it seems hung on "processing") turned to rainbow stripes.
I've tried creating JPGs with different programs, also PNGs, TIFs and have very erratic behavior in getting them into A3. Wasted hours with this.

Iphoto 11 import problem. My camera is importing photos as 4x4. I see a single image in the preview window, but the import is 4x4. I just imported from a different camera and that one was OK. I can't find any setting to change to fix this problem

I am having a new problem in IPhoto'11. An older camera is importing photos as 4x4 (16 copies to a single image). In the preview pane the photos are fine (single copy per image). I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting but the problem repeats. Earlier I had a successful import from a different camera.
I can't find any settings to change this. Help!

Sorry but I do not understand your question
As to importing iPhoto simply copies the photos to the iPhoto llibrary - no changes of any sort are made

DVD Backup iPhoto (video import problem)

I have backed-up all my iPhoto events to DVD's.
Now I have imported a DVD into iPhoto. I have all the events back but the video's have the wrong date and time. Also the events are not the same as the DVD.
Does anybody know what I had done wrong?
When I look to the photo's and video's on the DVD (in iPhoto) everything is alright, but not after import them.

This is the way I have done this:
Back up on DVD:
- Open iPhoto
- Insert blanco DVD
- Select "Events" (with Shift key more events)
- Share -> Burn
When the DVD is ready and I watch the picture's and video's in iPhoto there is now problem. The events, date and time is good.
Import DVD to iPhoto:
- Insert the DVD and open iPhoto
- Drag and Drop; not possible to import the video's. Message: Not possible to import, ... wrong structure (sorry, tranlated from Dutch)
OR
- Import to library; than the video's are imported, but the date and time is wrong.

Fuji Finepix iPhoto movie import problems

iPhoto won't let me import any movies from my Fuji Finepix camera that's over two/three minutes long. I've plugged my camera into a friend PC and it imported the movie with out any problems. There's no problems with importing photos at all, or movies under two minutes. It just doesn't recognize movies over 2 minutes.
I have plenty of space on my HD to accommodate these movies.
I'm using iPhoto 6.0.6
any insight into this problem would be greatly appreciated.
thx

Hi.
I have had the same problem with iPhoto 6 not importing my longer video clips. I do use a card reader. When iPhoto won't import a movie, the workaround is to use Image Capture. Select "Download Some" and switch the window to List view to preview the files on the card. Select the movies and upload to a Desktop folder. Ignore the blue progress meter - it seems to go from 0 to 100% with no indication of actual progress. It can take several minutes, but I've learned to be patient and the clips will eventually appear on the Desktop. Once there, iPhoto has had no trouble importing them into the Library.
Regards.

Lightroom JPG import problem.

Hi,
I just downloaded the trial version of Lightroom. I have a Nikon D50 and I am using it in the highest JPG quality (or RAW when I shoot for special occasions) in P mode. I do now have about 1500 photos on my hard drive and because I just installed Lightroom, I want to import these to create my library.
The problem I have is the following. Sometimes, I specify the WB to create a warmer photo instead of leaving it on Auto WB. So, when I look on the camera LCD sreen or on the PC using a picture viewer (like FastStone), the photo is great. But when I try to import these pictures in Lightroom, the WB seems to alter and become much warmer. So the imported photo is yellowish and does not reflect what I shooted. Any of you know what is the problem and how can work around?
Note that I did not try to import a lot of photos, so maybe the problem is present on all my photos and not only the ones I specified a non-automatic WB setting on the camera.
I was shooting in JPG because it was more convinient for us at that moment (except for special occasions) but I will now only shoot in RAW because of Lightroom. I just don't want to declare my past photos "waste".
Thanks

 I won't be able to answer in detail on color management issues in general, but there's some good reading suggested in other threads.
 
 As to what color space you should use for JPEGs as a camera setting- I use aRGB, and convert to sRGB if the pix are going to be shown on the web.
 
 If you migrate to using just RAW, you set the color space on Export- to JPEG, TIFF, PSD, GIF.
 As to how it looks on the LCD, I can't tell jack from that, either as to color balance or focus in many cases.

PPro CS3 JPG import problems

Hi, CS3 PPro, importing JPGs often results in a blacked out file, but when re-opened in Corel PPT it is fine. deleting it and re-importing results in same problem. When placed in timeline, it remains black. Have played with adding Color mask, but makes no difference.
This problem also occurs occasionally with JPGs that work fine initially, but at some point in the project they black out. Some JPGs work fine.
All have same location on drive, none have been moved, or names changed.
Help!!!

Welcome to the forum.
What are the pixel x pixel dimensions of the JPEG's, and what is the Frame Size of your Sequence Preset?
If your JPEG's are overly large, this ARTICLE will provide some background and hints on how to batch process them in PS.
Now, there are some other considerations with JPEG's. They must be RGB. They cannot be Progressive (a Web feature to partially load images, until the full one downloads), and some programs do not create perfect JPEG headers. Adobe programs have issues, with improper JPEG headers, but other programs do not. The trick is to open a problem JPEG in one of those, like the free IrfanView, and just do a Save - the header will be correctly written.
Good luck,
Hunt

Jpg import problem

Hi, i have some jpg shots on my card but every time i wish to import i get the error "could not copy a file to the requested location". On my earlier session just a few minutes prior, shooting raw on the same card, everything was fine.
i tried both import options (convert to dng and also the option to just copy) same error on both.
what is the obvious that i am missing here?

More Info, please. Camera type, OS, etc.
Although LR is set up to download from a Camera, it has come to light that (especially for Canon Cameras( it generally works best to first download the images to you starage file space and then reference import them from there. Many fewer glitched and problems are reported with this method.

Iphoto, slow import problem from SD

Hallo to everyone,
I have a strange problem since I have have update Iphoto '11 a few day ago.
When I insert the SD card, the icon appears in finder and Iphoto loads, BUT the icon of the SD card in the program need much more time to appears, 2 o 3 minutes; also there are 2 icons of the same card with the same content. I tried to format the card and to repair permissions, but with no positives results.
Any ideas?

The SanDisk website has a PDF owner's guide that says the following;
Macintosh Disk Icons: When you connect the MicroMate Reader/Writer on a Macintosh operating system, a removable disk icon labeled
“untitled” representing the MicroMate Reader/Writer will show on the desktop when a card is inserted.
It also has directions to drag the removable disk icon labeled “untitled” to the trash to remove the disk. There is also a support link to a ebox page on a secure site that won't let me go farther (I think I need a newer browser), so I can't find drivers.
My problem is that the icon doesn't show up and I can't find it in any applications I try. I know the Disney camera is a toy, its for my 5 year old, but I am having the identical problem with both the Disney camera and SanDisk.

Can you access the images on the phone with Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) ?
