Iphoto unable to import images from card or from desktop

A recent update to the operating system for my imac with Maverick has rendered my iphoto incapable of importing images, creates a mirror shift of the frontpage as it is opened up and requires a long time for iphoto to open. When I try to import a photo from the desktop or from a card the program spins into dysfunction and I am forced to force quit. Program functionality seems to be impaired as I look for images, select, etc. Permissions verified and fixed in Utility disk. Restart computer several times.....I would be grateful for assistance. Kind regards to the community.....HP

Well that suggests the issue is with the main Library. So
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Unable to import images to iMovie, or copy and paste images.

    As the title states, I am unable to import images from either iPhoto, the iMovie photo selector, or finder. Furthermore I cannot copy the rest of my timelapse from a second project into the origional, it just pastes one image in a different size and quality many times over. I was able to make a time lapse not more than five days ago before the update, so what gives? I am very frustrated. Everything is slow, it eats up all of my ram, and will freeze when I attempt to import images. I have all the updates, new retina pro, reinstalled iMovie; all the basic steps.. These are all images from a GoPro camera, and the first timelapse used all of the same files, I know it isn't a .jpeg problem or anything like that. So far it seems like a complete software failure and it is beyond my hands now but I would greatly appreciate some input.
    Thanks.
    Jake.

    So if you select a protion of a clip, it gets outlined in yellow, and then when you mouse over it the cursor should be a little hand icon.
    If you're not seeing that, you've got a problem.
    Do you have another user account on your computer so you can try to see if you have the same issues? Maybe even create a new one for testing purposes.
    Are you near an Apple Store you could drop by?
    I'm not sure what else to suggest.

  • I own Lightroom 4 and have updated the software however, I am unable to import images taken on the Sony A6000. I have also updated the raw converter and am still having this issue.

    I own Lightroom 4 and have updated the software however, I am unable to import images taken on the Sony A6000. I have also updated the raw converter and am still having this issue.

    You can either upgrade to Lightroom 5.4 or later, or use the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.6 to convert your RAW photos to DNG, which then will import into Lightroom 4.

  • IPhoto won't import images from Aperture.

    I export images to a jpg version at 1024 X 1024. Preview can open them, Photoshop Elelments 3 can open them, but IPhoto refuses to import them as they are "an unrecognizable file type or the files may not contain valid data".
    Any ideas what is going on?
    Peter

    Rusty Rat
    Where did you export them to? Into the iPhoto Library Folder? Because iPhoto will not import pics from the iPhoto Library Folder - a sensible precaution against duplication. So, export to the desktop and import from there.

  • Please help!  iPhoto will not import images

    I've imported thousands of times and suddenly, today I am unable to import my pictures from one of my memory cards to iPhoto. Now I did click on cancel import, because I wanted to name my roll, etc. That is where the problem started. After I clicked on cancel import, I was never able to get iPhoto to open up to import those photos from that particular memory card again. Do you think the card is corrupt? I am able to view the pictures on my camera...just am unable to import them. What can I do??? I have very important pics on this card!! Thanks for helping.

    Oh no! But, I am able to see the pictures on my camera review screen though. If the card was damaged, I wouldn't be able to review the images on the camera right? I think I may have turned off the camera too soon during the initial import, and somehow that messed up the card?? My husband is going to be so ticked off if we can't get these photos to import somehow! And I have some pictures of my niece's graduation on it also! What a nightmare!

  • IPhone doesn't appear in iPhoto - unable to import

    I am unable to import photos from my iPhone 3G into iPhoto 8 (v7.1.5).
    The iPhone does not appear in the left pane, and no idea why?
    Anny suggestions?

    I am having the same problem with iPhoto '09.
    I wonder if it's caused by MacFUSE cuz I just installed it today.

  • HELP: How do I use iPhoto 08 to import images onto my iPhone 3G?

    Hi,
    I was wondering how best to import images into my iPhone 3G for viewing.
    Most of my image files are large high quality 2 -4 MB files.
    Is there an easy way to downsize the files for viewing on the iPhone 3G? Does iPhoto have a setting specific for import/export use with the iPhone?
    How do I set a specific photo as the phone's wallpaper and does it have to be specifically sized to use as wallpaper?
    I have read the iPhone 3G manual but it was less than helpful just saying "Use iPhoto to import photos onto your iPhone"...

    here is a thread with lots of discussion of this topic - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1618079&tstart=105
    In general you make album(s) of the photos you want on the iPhone and sync the album(s)

  • I am unable to import photos to my computer from my iphone. I need help!

    Everytime i try and import photos to my computer I get an error message on every single photo. It says "The following error occured while importing 'photoxyz.jpg': The exact error is unknown. Make a note of this error code, which might be useful if you seek additional help to resolve this problem: 80210005." I can then try again (which never works), or skip the file. Essentially I am unable to import any photos from my phone. With the iphone 4 i did this all of the time with no problem but now that I have the iphone 5 this is all that happens. How do I import my photos? I don't want to import every single photos on my phone, just the new ones since the last time I imported. Thanks!!

  • IPhoto quits as importing images !!!

    I have an iMac G5 (1024MB RAM) and OS X10.4.2 also iPhoto 5 (latest)
    As importing images, iPhoto quits without error, just creates an report for Apple.
    Need help!!! Any ideeas?
    My iPhoto library has about 41000 images....maybe to much for it?
    THX in advance!

    Benno:
    Can you give us some additional information on your setup: model, RAM, HD size and free space?
    Have you tried the usual general fixes? Repair disk permissions, clean out the various User cache files with OnyX (or the utility of your choice), run the cron maintenance scripts (again with Onyx). Try to assure you have the recommended minimum of 15% or 10G free space available at all times to maximize system performance. Running Onyx to clean out the various user and system caches (your first reboot will be slower than usual but will get back to normal on subsequent restarts) and running Monolingual to clean out all of the unneeded language modules. I saved about 900MB the first time I did that. WARNING: If you run Monolingual make sure English is not checked. If you accidently remove it very bad things will happen.
    You might also consider downloading and running the 10.4.3 COMBO updater followed by a repair of permissions.
    Are you getting any kernel crashes, i.e. when a gray curtain descends with warnings in multiple languages?

  • IPhoto won't import images from camera

    When I connect my camera to my computer iPhoto recognizes the camera but says there are no items to import. The camera has about 40 photos in its memory. What gives. I have intel iMac OS X 10.4.6, iphoto 6.0.1 and a nikon coolpix 5200 (lists says its compatible) set to PTP. Why can't I import the images from the camera to my computer? please help

    David:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you use Image Capture will it see the photos in the camera? It's located in your Applications folder. I'm guessing it will and that will give you a workaround until the iPhoto issue is resolved.
    I see where you're still at 6.0.1. I'd update iPhoto to the latest version, 6.0.2, repair disk permission, and then see if iPhoto will see the files.

  • I am unable to import photos into I Photo from my Kodak Z700  camera. any solutions?

    I have tried over and over again to import photos from my Kodak Z700 camera intoI Photo.  I keep getting the essage that the format is incorrect.  Any Solutions?

    There has been a problem between iPhoto and Koday EasyShare cameras for quite a while now, since Snow Leopard.  It appears to be something Apple can't fix so the problem lies with Kodak.  See the topic at the right under More Like This.
    The workaround is to use a card reader with the memory card from the camera.

  • Problem importing images into RoboHelp 10 from FM 11

    I am using Adobe TCS4, on Win XP SP3, to import or link structured FrameMaker 11 books and documents into RoboHelp 10. Our default graphics types are generally eps and tiff images, in anchored frames and imported by reference into FrameMaker, and FrameMaker equations. When I import a FM document into RoboHelp, things appear reasonably correct, equations are converted to jpegs, but the other images typically do not appear. Instead, blank images are created in the appropriate size, and named <docname>00001.jpg, etc, where <docname> is the original FrameMaker document name.
    During import, the Images portion of the FrameMaker conversion settings list "Use Distiller to Generate Image". If this box is checked, RoboHelp nearly always crashes when there are non-equation images in the file. If that setting is unchecked, the import generally completes, but the images, except for equations, are not imported. Remarkably, occasionally one or a few of the correct images doappear in the RoboHelp html; in these cases, it is usually one or more tiff images that have somehow been successfully converted to jpeg; but the majority of images are not converted.
    I have tried a few other things, without success. For example, I have replaced all the images in the Framemaker document with jpeg images, then imported into RoboHelp, but the results are the same, with empty renamed images created, and original images not imported. I have also tried reducing the image sizes in the Framemaker to the exact size size required in the output; in other words, so images appear at 100% size in Framemaker. This approach also has not been successful. I have also tried importing to another format in RoboHelp, such as png, with no success.
    I have had some occasional success, for example rare occasions when one or two images appear in the RoboHelp html, and a single case in which nearly all of the graphics imported correctly. That FM document is somewhat different from the others because nearly all of the referenced images in FrameMaker were PDF. The successfully imported PDFs were imported into RH as jpegs of the same name. The only files that failed to import were a few eps files which were imported as blank images named aqccording to the <docname>0001.jpg scheme.
    Aside from converting all of my images to PDF, and modifying documents accordingly, I have run out of things to try. So, I was hoping to get some advise:
    1) Is there another approach I can try?
    2) Should I uninstall and reinstall TCS4?
    3) Is there an import log that could tell me the mapping of FrameMaker image name to RoboHelp image name, for example: fm0201.tif > <docname>00001.jpg? At least then I could use that list to manually import the appropriate jpgs into Robohelp.
    4) Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
    5) What is it with the constant crashes when "Use Distiller to Generate Image" is checked. In these cases, Distiller keeps chugging away, producing images, until RoboHelp crashes.
    Thanks very much, I appreciate any suggestions.

    I remember reading that document on images, parts 1 and 2, I think, but did not find any solution to this issue there. I have seen your posts on the path length, and have tried to reduce them as much as possible by moving files close to the root directory. I continue to have issues with cross-references, but I have not spent much time yet in fully diagnosing that problem. I'm experienced with Framemaker for many years, and I'm beginning to feell familiar with many parts of RoboHelp, so I thoiught I'd try to knock these issues one at a time, in either order, actually. thanks for your suggestion.

  • Intermittent problems importing images into Captivate 5 from PowerPoint 2010 slides

    Occasionally, when I import slides from a PowerPoint 2010 pptx file, certain of the images don't move over into captivate.
    Most (if not all) of my images have been saved as .jpg files, so I don't believe that there would be problems with different file types.  Some of the images may be saved at different quality levels; could this possibly affect the import process?
    I can't identify what about these images somehow mark them as "different" to Captivate, and therefore prevents their importation.
    Any help that can be provided is appreciated.

    Hi Rahul,
    I would but I am not the original poster. You will have to wait for JDPJDPJDPJDP to send you the file.
