IPhoto not imported correctly?

I purchased and installed Aperture the other day. I then opened it, but decided to close it immediately, and import my iPhoto library the next day.
The following day I got ready to import my iPhoto library. According to page 174 of the pdf manual, there are several options, such as storing imported master location, import as referenced images, a 'move files' or 'copy files' button, and several others. However during the import, I was given none of these options. I selected File - Import - Library, chose my iPhoto library, and immediately a "merging libraries" message was displayed. After about 15 minutes the message disappeared, and all my iPhoto events now appear to be in individual projects, faces and places are OK, and all seems to be well. Oddly, I noticed that in the manual, the command is given as just 'File - Import - iPhoto library', which I cannot see.
Has the import gone correctly? If so, why did I not received the various import options mentioned in the manual?
The original iPhoto library appears to be intact, and I now have an Aperture Library in my Pictures folder.
Would appreciate any help.
Steve

Don't worry, Steve. You imported your iPhoto library correctly.
What you have read in the manual, is how the iPhoto library was imported in the earlier Aperture versions, before the unified Aperture-iPhoto library had been introduced with Aperture 3.3.
Merging libraries by importing is described in this document: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries
You also could have simply opened your iPhoto library in Aperture and used it directly as your photo library, without importing it. Both Aperture and iPhoto can use each others libraries like their own, see:
Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture

PDF's not importing correctly

I am using CS5 on iMac 27" quad.
I am trying to import a PDF into Photoshop.
But it is not importing correctly.
The PDF is a label template, which prints perfectly from the PDF.
But when I import it into Photoshop, the dimensions change.
So the text boxes for the labels don't align up correctly to the label sheet.
The top label is OK, but the boxes keep moving to the right, so that top label in column 5 is a 1/4" off to the right. The labels seem to be "traveling."
Vertically, the same thing is happening.
Row #1 is OK
but by the end of the page, Row #5 is 3/8" off the page.
I have disabled all printing options: no auto-center; no fit to page; no scaling.
The printer software should not be adapting the document at all.

Here are two articles to start with...don't know what you've tried so far

Canon 5D MK II white balance set as K does not import correctly

With a 5D II and the Kelvin white balance set in the camera the WB does not import correctly for RAW files and LR 2.4. For example when set to a specified white balance as a Kelvin setting, for example 5200, and then import the raw files with "As Shot" specified or subsequently WB to "As Shot" in Develop module the white balance is set to 4850 +1 (in the example of 5200). The pre set WB options provided inthe camera do work correctly.
Does anyone know if there is a way to set this up to work correctly? Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thank you.

Lightroom does work correctly. The numbers are different, but the appearance ot the colour temperature matches. The way I understand it, cameras don't actually store Kelvin numbers, but store colour space co-ordinates instead. LR and your Canon are interpreting the RAW values into different colour spaces, so the kelvin values and tint numbers will differ.

Why does iphoto not import my photos from my camera?, why does iphoto not import my photos from my camera?

Why will IPhoto not import a PDF image now - it has previously?

Why will iphoto not import a PDF image now - it has previously?

This feature was removed with iPhoto 11. You'll need to ask Apple why:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
In the meantime you can convert a pdf to jpeg or tiff using Preview.

IPhoto does not import correct pictures

Using either my Canon camera or IPhone 6 plus, when I try to import new photos to my MacBook Pro, everything in the process works fine, the selected pics appear to be importing correctly and show up on the import screen. But when the import is finished and I am prompted to keep or delete photos from the camera or the IPhone, after I select one or the other, a set of the same number of pics show up on the Last Import screen but they are a completely different set of pics from what I imported; they appear to be randomly selected from my library of past photos. And, the pics I actually imported are no where to be found in my photo library. And, when I click on Last Import from the tab list, all I get are these random set of old pics. Frustrated! Any ideas?.....thnx.....Lew

Not sure how to rebuild IPhoto once I've done the alt key and command key re-launch of IPhoto....
Did you hold down the alt key and command key together long enough? Hold the keys down, until you see the First Aid Panel.
Only then let go of the keys and click "Rebuild Thumbnails", and if necessary the other options Larry recommended.

IPhoto not importing or is it?

Everytime I open iPhoto, i get an error message that says: 38 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported. Would I like to import them.
When I click "Yes", it doesn't import anything. This message repeats itself twice everytime.
When I click "No", it says. The photos have been placed in the folder /Users/brad/Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos_14. It repeats a second time and says: The photos have been placed in the folder /Users/brad/Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos_16.
I have a list of folders where it keeps creating them over and over. How do I get this to stop?
Thanks for you help!

I just got some help on this. The answer to this problem is inside my iPhoto Library is a folder called "imports>masters> and several sub folders. Most were empty; however, I found 38 "Locked" short .MOV files there. I did a simple drag and drop to the desktop and deleted the folders in Masters. Problem solved.

.m4a Not Importing Correctly

For some reason when I import some .m4a files, they do not appear in my libary. Some albums will import while others will not. files with .mp3 import correctly, this is only a problem with .m4a files
Any ideas? Most of my music is stored as .m4a
Thanks

iTunes does not automatically encode/transcode files that you add to your library. The importing settings that you mention only apply to CDs that you rip & encode and other audio files that you want to manually convert to those specifications.

VCF/vCard not importing correctly

This is odd. I have hundreds of vCards and most of them imported correctly into Address Book. But some are dropping many of the phone numbers. The following vCard only imports the NYC number (ending in 3350) and leaves all the others out. But the really odd thing is that if I try to import it again, Address Book shows me ALL the info in the duplicates message/action window. But if I import it, again, it only keeps the NYC number. Entourage imports it correctly, as does the Palm Desktop on my PC.

Well, that completely stinks! I guess I could do the import in Leopard (10.5, I have a laptop still running that) and then just move the address book files to my 10.6 machine? Anyone know how to do that?
yes, that's possible. import in leopard, quit address book and Mail on both computers and copy the entire folder /users/username/library/application support/address book from the 10.5 computer to the corresponding location on the 10.6 one. start address book there and it will have the same content as the one on the 10.5 machine.
Thanks for the info. I wish I knew this a few weeks ago when I did the migration. What a pain it will be fixing this!

Theme and Template not importing correctly

I have exported the theme and template file. At the import site the template and theme did not install correctly.
I can see that it is using the same theme as the source environment, but it will not appear.
Any ideas?

You've got two issues going on.
One- never put anything besides the .dwt template files in
the Templates
folder.
Also- the paths need to work IN the template.
The images aren't showing here:
http://www.und.edu/dept/art/Templates/MAIN.dwt
So dw is making wrong paths to them in the child pages.
Use the "browse to file" dialog box to pick the images.
And if any of them are in the Templates folder, use the Dw
files panel to
move them.
Second issue:
Your dw "site" is defined to a subfolder of the domain,
/dept/art/ as far as
i can guess. But you've used site root relative paths in the
Template. Site
root relative paths start with a leading /slash. It tells the
browser to
start from the domain name's root level.
Only use Document Relative paths if the site is defined to a
subfolder of a
domain. (look for the pulldown in the bottom of the browse to
file dialog
box)

IPhoto not importing from Quick Look

iPhoto does not import from Quick Look.
• Sometimes the image will check in Quick Look, iPhoto starts up, but nothing imports.
• Other times, the item appears already checked when it open in Quick Look, but same result, nothing in iPhoto.
This happens with old images, new images, a just saved screen shot for example.
I have reinstalled iLife, repaired Permissions, scrapped the iPhoto Library and let iPhoto create a new one with defaults. Nothing has worked.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks

And with no configuraton changes, just plugging in the iPad [after walking around a bit] and the import worked as expected - nice that is works, bad that it is not consistant :-/

Why does iphoto not import my photos chronologically into events

I have just updated to the latest version of iphoto and infuriatingly whenever I now import photos, rather than placing them at the bottom of the series of events in chronological order, iphoto now imports them as the second event next to photos from 2000, so I have to move them manually down to the bottom, even though the date being shown is correct, can anyone help?

I have the same. I think it changed with iPhoto 11. I drag them all the way down all the time. Try to set the chronological order, under "Presentation" (sorry I work in a French version Presentation is at the left side of "Window") and then right in the middle "sort events" and check chronological order. Hope this helps.

IPhoto not importing T4i movie clips

Just got a canon t4i. Took it out for a test run. Shooting Video only. Came back to import to iPhoto then import to iMovie. I have it set at 24 frames ps. Of the 353 small clips only one up loaded, and I can't find it in iPhoto. The rest were never imported to iPhoto. Window came up that said Error importing image. That's all the info I got. I tried it 8-10 times, every time it said the same thing. I did find one clip, it played back total black in QuickTime.
What's my problem?
Thanks and sincerely
Mike

Photos not importing correctly to iPhoto library

I just realized that any photos I have been importing to the iPhoto library from somewhere on my hard drive rather than from an external device/camera have NOT actually been imported into the library, rather are still linked to the original file. This means that iPhoto can't always find the correct pathway to the correct file -- and it has backfired on me big time in that I ordered a $50 book and one of the images was wrong. Right thumbnail, but wrong actual photo, because the link had been lost. Beyond the aggravation that my book is now messed up and I apparently can't do anything about it since it's been more than 90 minutes, I want to fix this so that my iPhoto library is accurate and it doesn't happen again. I have been going to File - Import to Library, but it doesn't. It just links to the original file, which then can't be found once I reopen the program after quitting. Any advice? This only started happening since upgrading to '09, by the way.

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.

IPhoto '09 not importing correct time on photos

I am using a Canon PowerShot S95. I've check the time in the camera and the time on my computer. When importing pictures from the camera to iPhoto, iPhoto does not use the time my picture was actually taken. I looked at the extended info to check the original time and the digitalized time. These times match but are incorrect as to the when I actually took the picture. This throws off the date. The digitalized time and original time will show 3:13:11 am. It is way off. I don't take pictures at 3am! So the problem of sorting picture with keywords and using the date separates the pictures incorrectly. I was sorting using keywords Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, etc. Pictures taken the same day were separated to different events. I hope this all makes sense. Can anyone help me.

iPhoto gets the time and date from the Exif metadata of the photograph. This is written by the camera. You may not have taken the photo at 3 am, but the camera thinks it was 3 am when the shot was taken.
You can correct the date and time using the Photos ->Adjust Date and Time command
