IPhoto recognises camera but says I have no photos to import - help!

What the subject says... I am using iPhoto 8.0.4. I have an HP Photosmart R727. I have always imported my photos exactly the same way - I plug my camera into my Macbook with a USB cable and the photos import automatically. I go to import some photos today and my Macbook is recognising the camera being plugged in but says there are no photos on it. There are 33 photos on it! I've restarted everything, checked for updates to iPhotos, etc. No idea why this is happening, as I say I've not changed any settings. Ideas?
I don't have a card reader, the photos are on the memory in my camera.

You may have a format problem with your memory card - does your camera mount to the desktop so you can look with the finder? Or do you have a USB card reader to mount it?
The free trial version of Media Recover - http://www.mediarecover.com/ - will tell you what it can recover form the card - you will have to purchase it to actually recover the photos
Once you have them safely in iPhoto use your camera's format command to reformat your media card and see if that that cures things for the future

Camera roll says i have (1) photo... even though my camera roll is empty

updated my 3G iphone for the new carrier setting, MMS works fine. i can send and receive MMS with no problems. however, ever since the update my "camera roll" says i have "(1) photo" even though my camera roll is empty. anyone else have this bug????

Hi Boots13,
Check the locations mentioned in this article to find your pictures.
Since you have setup as new, I'm wondering if they are from a Photo Stream.

My "photo's" won't open even though i have used the camera, it says i have no photos or the App fails to open all together

even though i have used my camera, when i click at the bottom left to view my captured images the app closes. when i go to "photo's" the app either fails to open or says i have no photos. what am i doing wrong? i have owed an iphone for 3 years and this has never happened.

Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

Aperture 3 show an empty Project, but say that have 2 photos...

I know I hid an event of my Grandmother in iphoto. And now that I merged my iphoto library with aperture, the event shows the number of photos in the left botton, but doesn't show the photos. The events is here but is kind of empty.
I've clicked the magnifying glass and I selected "Showing All" and "reject" but nothing happens.
These photos are very important. How can Isee then?
Ps: I don't have iphoto anymore because I did a clean install of OSX 10.8 and don't have the iLife CD anymore...

This, I think, gives you a broader picture of what's going on. From Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture:
• Photos hidden using iPhoto's Hide command cannot be accessed in Aperture. If you open the library in iPhoto, unhide the photos and then open the library in Aperture, the previously hidden photos are accessible.
• Photos rated as rejected in Aperture are not accessible in iPhoto. If the photo's rating is subsequently raised in Aperture, it will then be accessible in iPhoto.
There are other operational details at the linked page worth knowing.

Why does my camera roll say I am using 682 MB of storage but I only have 12 photos saved?

Why does my camera roll say I am using 682 MB of storage but I only have 12 photos saved to it?

If it's really a couple dozen pictures, I would expect it should be under 100 MB.
You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the used space is still so high.

Hi Bpaitin,
Go to Settings>General>Usage, and under iCloud, click on Manage Storage>click on your device, then under Backup Options, turn Photo Library off and then back on. See if that clears it up.
If it does not, reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, see if the issue is resolved.
Cheers,

It sounds like your hard drive either has a software problem that Disk Utility cannot fix or that the HD has failed (mechanically).
Your Mac may have booted either to your recovery partition or to internet recovery in an attempt to repair the drive- I can't tell from your post.
I'll assume that it was the recovery partition.
Try to boot into internet recovery (hold down option command R at restart), and see if you can repair your HD with Disk Utility. You should also repair permissions while you're there.
If that doesn't work, try to boot into single user mode (restart, hold down ⌘S until you see a black screen with white text) and repair your hard drive. Here's a reference with directions: Repair Your Hard Disk in Single User Mode | Everything Macintosh
If that doesn't work you have a few options:
If your mac originally came with installation disks, you can try to boot from the installation disk and then see if you can repair the HD.
There is a small chance that Techtool Pro 7 will be able to repair your HD if Disk Utility can't.
If none of that works then your HD has probably failed and will need to be replaced, which is not too difficult to do yourself if you can use a screwdriver.

IPhoto is 150 GB but says it has no photos. What to do?

Just Restored a backup from TimeMachine. It is the same size but says it has no photos.
Any ideas what to do? Thanks.

It is the same size but says it has no photos.
Explain a bit more, please. Where does it say "no Photos"? Does iPhoto show "no photos" in the Photos view, when you launch it?
If iPhoto does show no photos after launching, it may have created a new, empty library, instead of using your restored library. Check, which library iPhoto is using. Ctrl-click the the word "iPhoto" in the title bar of the iPhoto application window. It will show you the path to the folder with your current iPhoto library? Is this the same library, as you restored?
If iPhoto is using a new library instead of your restored library there may be a permissions problem or a version mismatch. What is your current iPhoto version and which version of iPhoto created the restored library? What kind of backup did you restore from and how? Where is your restored library located? In the default location, your Pictures" folder or in a different folder on an external drive?
If the library is not in your Pictures folder, launch iPhoto with the alt/options key held down to direct it to your library.

Is there a way to import photos to the iPad and put in an album without having the photo also in the Camera Roll? I have a photo transfer app but when I import the album and photos they are also shown in the CR. When you delete them from CR they are deleted from the album too.

You can sync photos from your computer via iTunes, and each folder that you sync will get its own album : syncing photos. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync.
In terms of albums that you create directly on the iPad no, effectively you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you delete the original photo you will therefore also be deleting all pointers to it.
You could consider a third-party photo management app instead e.g. Photo Manager Pro

Is Preview open? Copy/paste the following into Terminal in Utilities and hit return. Look through the output, which may give you a clue as to what is open.

Iphoto is not showing that i have no photos

iphoto is not showing that i have no photos, but when i look at the file size of the iPhoto library in finder it says its 86gb... how do i get these photos back into my library neatly?

I am using iPhoto version 9.6
I imported some photos last night and a couple messages popped up basically saying iPhoto needed to restart (i don't remember exactly what they said). So i restarted and when i opened up iPhoto again there was a single photo displaying, basically like i had just started using the app. iPhoto just tells me how to 'get started' when i open it now.

Library is 3.07 GB but I only have 95 photos!

So I've gone through and deleted all of the photos on my iPhone, but there was still over 2 GB of photos on it. I don't know what to do here, and I really need some extra space on my phone.

Why does my iOS device say I have more photos than I can find?

My iPad 2 is saying i have 1034 photos in my my photo library.

my iPad 2(3g wifi 16gb is saying i have 1034 photos in my my photo library. when i i only have 3 albums (2 shared and 1 camera roll) consisting of the following number of pictures, 184, 46, 151. this apparently (according to usage>manage storage> etc) says i have 7.3GB used ? there are no videos in my library to explain the high usage memory. So my questions are these; Are there hidden files/pictures on my iPad i don't know about? can anyone explain the high usage? i have deleted the recently deleted folder. any help would be appreciated as i only have the 16gb model and to loose 7gb somewhere is not a good thing. for info, when connected to iTunes (i have a mac mini) it also says i have over 7gb used in photos.

You can download photos from your device only from its Camera Roll. If you synced these photos from another compute or have them in shared Photo Streams, you cannot get them from the iPhone.
