IPhoto keeps importing videos even after saying "No"

A while back I connected my still digital camera which contained a few videos along with my photos. After importing I deleted almost all my photos and none of my videos, I wanted to leave some of the photos and the videos on the camera.
Now when I import photos from my camera it asks if I want to import duplicates, I select "No", and "Apply to all". This works for the photos but not the videos, it keeps importing duplicate videos into iPhoto.
Is that correct, shouldn't it not if I select No? Or does that not apply to the videos? If that's not correct is there a setting I can change to fix that?
If that's how it is would upgrading to iLife '08 fix that?
Thanks!,
Wesley

iPhoto 6 was not good about respecting that choice when importing from a different volume. I've seen less reports about the issue in later versions. As iPhoto 6 has not been updated since 06, I would not hold out hope of a fix for that version.

    How do I get it to stop importing duplicates even after I checkbox tell it not to.
    That checkmark will only prevent iPhoto from importing exact duplicates - the exact filename, image format, exactly the same size,
    What kind of duplicates are you asking about? Have the files been renamed or converted in any way?

    Is your QuickTime up to date?
    Video importing requires QuickTime 7.6.2 or later.

  • Macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was cancelled

    macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. 

    I only have 1 apple ID and the same was used to set up this early 2011 macbook pro and iPhoto app. I don't want to loose out on any photos. I tried logging out of app store and back in but no luck. PLEEAASEE HELPP!!!
    This problem has been reported by quite a few forum members, who skipped the update to iPhoto 9.5.1 while running Mavericks. In that case try to purchase iPhoto again instead of updating.
    After making your backup try the following:
    Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the applications folder, but do not empty the Trash.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your AppleID.
    Open the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
    If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support, as Niel pointed out: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

    InDesign keeps shutting down, even after reinstall. I want to know how to get technical support so I can get this fix.

    I feel your pain Robert. I do believe VZW and Apple knew all along the I6 Plus would not be available on 19 Sep and that it was a way to bolster new contracts, renewed contracts and apple sales stats. It's unfortunate the company wasn't more clairvoyant, most of us would have still pre-ordered but been a little less frustrated.

    Try disabling hardware acceleration. Many visual bugs can be attributed to issues with graphics drivers.

  • My AE just keep blinking orange even after factory reset. Does this means the thing is pass its useful life,

    My AE just keep blinking orange even after several resets. Ths thing is about 4 years old. Is it pass its usefullife?

    Actually, a flashing amber (blinking orange) status light is normal for just after performing a reset. It just indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
    The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
    You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
    One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.
    (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305101)
    If you run the AirPort Utility, it will show an amber circle on the summary page next to the area(s) causing the problem. Click on this amber circle and it should provide an explanation.

  • My iPhoto keeps sending an error message saying i photo shut down unexpectedly.  This has happened for 2 days now.

    My iphoto keeps sending me an error message saying iphoto has shut down unexpectedly.  It begins to open the last photo, freezes and reports this message.
    Options are to ignore, report and retry. Retry and ignore get you nowhere.  Report doesn't help either.
    thanks,

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • When trying to import videos, pop up says not the right kind of document

    I am on photoshop elements 13 editor, trying to import videos. A pop up says could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document. Any solutions?

    Vurgano, Powelly 100, and izzysanime,
    Has the issue been resloved?
    If so, how was it resolved?
    I see Yesughei and Powelly are on Win7.
    Izzysanime, which Win OS are you using?
    Vurgano, what platform/OS are you using?
    We are still investigating this issue and would appreciate your assistance.
    To rule out problems with the files you have, could you please verify the Photoshop CS5 sample file "CheeziPuffs.mov" will also not work? (program files\adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\samples)
    Also would you please verify the following:
    Virus/security/parental control software hasn't trapped parts of Photoshop, Bridge, Premiere, Lightroom, or any Adobe app using DynamicLinkMediaServer. (Make sure the Adobe apps are added as exceptions if needed.)
    Ensure you have the latest version of QuickTime
    Close all Adobe applications - wait more than 30 seconds, then launch Photoshop and try to open the file.
    - If unsuccessful, view Task Manager/Processes to verify necessary processes started up when importing video (dynamiclinkmanager.exe, dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe and Adobe QT32 Server.exe)
    - If unsuccessful, please capture the full error message text.
      4. Close all Adobe apps, wait 30 seconds - launch Bridge and try to open the file.
    If everyone is on Win 7, it makes me wonder about permissions...
    Thanks,
    Meredith

  • Why does iPhoto now import videos?

    I'm shooting a video and production stills with my DSLR. Why does iPhoto '11 import the videos? They just take up disk space. I can't do anything with them in iPhoto. Can I tell iPhoto to import the stills only?

    iPhoto has always had the ability to import certain formats of video.  Also, iPhoto video can be seen in iMovie for editting.  - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2196.

  • My Magic Mouse and Mobee charges seems to lose the connection every day. I've used it with no problem for about 6 months or so, no it keeps losing connection even after recharging overnight. Any ideas?

    I seem to lose the connection of my Magic Mouse often, daily and sometimes several times during the day using the Mobee charger even after charging overnight.  Ideas?
    The charger is plugged into my Cinema Display and has worked fine for 6 months or more.
    Thanks !
    Ira-

    Thanks Steve-
    The problem seems to have just gone away.
    I wrote to Mobee, and their answer is to take the batteries out, recharge and see if that does the trick.
    Having been through this once before, and sending pictures along of the MM, which didn't help, it was just an oddball problem that has gone away.
    I'll keep an eye on things.
    I guess it's just one of those mysteries of Apple and the third party.
    Thanks for taking the time to answer,
