IPhoto will not read JPGs from my DX3900 Camera!

I have an older Kodak DX3900 digital camera. I've used it with older versions of iPhoto with no problem. But today, using iPhoto 9.1.3, I got back from hiking only to be disappointed at the following error:
Huh? When did iPhoto not recognize JPG? I don't remember hearing about that.
What I wonder is if someone goofed and expects "jpg" instead of "JPG".
Anyone have info about this bug?
Thanks!

Try using image capture (in your applications folder) to bring the photos to a desktop folder and try from there - also you can try preview to see how it does - from preview you can do a save as and try the newly created photo

Acrobat X will not convert JPG from a cell phone camera to pdf.

One our PMs took some photos with his camera phone and Acrobat doesn't do anything when you try to convert the jpg to pdf. If we try to combine in Acrobat, the process starts, the Combine box opens and shows the files, but when you click on combine files Adobe pops a message saying that Adobe has stopped working and closes the program, searches the Internet for a solution, and finds, NOTHING. Which incedentally is what the seach finds in this forum, NOTHING, even if you search for Adobe.
So I call customer service, and for the first time in years, I'm told that the maintenance we purchased only covers installation. Seriously? I am now convinced, as is my corporate IT department, that Adobe is overpriced and under serviced. Not to mention the push to eliminate the individual products and force us to purchase expensive suites. Really?! Did you already forget about Microsoft's legal woes for bundling software?
I will never again purchase nor recommend Adobe products.
If someone else is having this problem, good luck.

Hi David, and thank for responding. We have volume licenses for an enterprise version of Acrobat Pro X. (See email below.) It was for 2 years of maintenance and included upgrades. As for the photos, we copied them from the camera to the desktop. We can print them to Adobe and I can convert them to bmp and then convert them to pdf. However, I cannot convert the jpg to pdf directly. Adobe stops running and Windows closes the program. I can successfully convert other jpg photos though. This is the case on two different PCs. We run Windows 7x64. I don't know what is different with the jpg from the Samsung 350 Windows phones that causes this anomaly. Any ideas would be welcomed. Thanks!

Iphoto will not install update from 9.3.2 to 9.4.2

I have a new MacMini. Just ran updates per the App Store. iPhoto '11 will not update from 9.3.2 to 9.4.2. I've JUST gotten this Mac, and I don't have any photos loaded at all. None. I click on "Update" in App Store, and it reports "An error has occured" (LOVE the passive voice...the error just 'occured' - nobody's fault...move along...nothing to see here).
The only thing I haven't tried is deleting iPhoto and reinstalling it. Is that my only/best option?
Thanks!

Lightroom 5.7 will not import images from my nikon cameras

Lightroom 5.7 will not import my Nikon DSLR images although iPhoto will on an iMac

Duplicate thread, do not reply here, there already is a reply atunable to import from nikon to lr5, on iMac iPhoto works

IPhoto 11 v9.4.2 not reading JPGs from camera and crashing

it reads the first 3 or 4 then stops dead in its tracks. when i hit 'stop' it says the device has been prematurely ejected! then the circle just goes round and round and nothing loads then it comes up with 'can't read this type of file' - and they are all JPGs!

It sounds to me like there is faulty hardware here - the cable or the USB port on the camera or the Mac. If the link to the camera is being broken during import then it's likely that the database has been damaged.
First off, try and track down that hardware issue. If not you will continue to have the problem.
To try and fix the Library:
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 Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
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.

Went from Mountain Lion to Yosemite on 2009 MacBook Pro. Safari now randomly shuts down; Word doesn't work properly; iPhoto will not upload pics from iPhone; EVERYTHING is horribly slow. How to I go back to Mountain Lion?

Is there a way to go back to Mountain Lion after updating to Yosemite? Yosemite has caused nothing but problems in multiple programs. Mountain Lion ran fine. Not sure why I even updated. I am NOT a computer guru so instructions I have read for the many Yosemite fixes blow my mind. Should I be taking my MacBook Pro to the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store (2 hours away)? I have been a Mac user and lover for many years and am SO frustrated and disappointed in all of it right now. Please advise on what a non-tech frustrated Mac user can do.

Technically, you can downgrade if you have the following:
Your computer must be elligible to run Mountain Lion. If your computer came with Mavericks or Yosemite out of the box, you can forget it.
You need an already existing Mountain Lion installer file. If you still have that somewhere, for example in your Applications folder, or anywhere else, it's usable- note that it needs to be originally downloaded with your own Apple ID and password. If you made a Mountain Lion USB installer or DVD back then that would work too. If your Time Machine back-ups go back to the days of Mountain Lion or Lion you could check your Applications folder from inside Time Machine and restore it to your computer.
To not have data loss you need a Time Machine back-up that goes back to when you were still running Mountain Lion. Please note that this will revert your data to exactly the date that you choose. If you installed Mavericks 2 months ago, you will loose 2 months worth of data.

IPad SD card reader not reading JPGS from Canon 5dIII

Have a brand new iPad (retina) and the SD to lighting connector.
When I insert a Lexar Professional 16GB 400x SD card with images from my Canon 5DIII, iPad opens the Photo app and I can see the thumbnails, however when I try to import, instead of a green icon with a check mark, I get a red one with an exclamation point (an error). The photos are not imported.
I used the same SD card in my Canon G12 and images from that camera import just fine. When I reduce the resolution on the 5DIII, the images import fine.
I have read there is a 32GB limit on the size of teh SD card, but I suppose there must also be a limit on individual file sizes as well. If so, I cannot find it documented.
Does anyone know if this is the case?

In the past I've copied MP4 films via an SD card with the kit and been able to play them, but a film bought from iTunes didn't play (you can't copy content to the Videos app via the kit, only to the Photos app). Also the kit only recognises content that is in a particular format - the card has to have a DCIM directory off its root, with the photos/videos underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus file extension.

IPhoto will not accept video from Nikon Coolpix S220

It has in the past, doesn't now... possibly an update issue? it still accepts photos, just not video. Any ideas?
Thx!

How long is the rejected video? iPhoto has problems importing large videos directly from the camera. Use Image Capture to upload it to the Desktop and import from there.
Happy New Year

IPhoto does not recognizes formate from Kodak digital camera, what do i need to do to import photos?

I am trying to import pohotos from a Kodak digital camara Z1275 to iphoto and I recieve a message,"unrecognized format-file cannot be imported" What do I need to do now? I am new to the Mac. Moving from PC to Mac.

There is an issue with Kodaks and Macs. Use a USB Card reader.

Just started. iphoto will not recognize iphone as a camera

frustrated here. All of a sudden, IPhoto will not recognize my iPhone as a camera and therefore will not upload photos taken on the phone. No settings have been changed. Not sure what to do here.

Got any photos in your camera roll that were emailed to you or saved through safari? If so, try deleting them or emailing them to yourself & then deleting them from your camera roll. See if iphoto will then see your phone.

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

I have iphoto '08 version with an imac osx 10.5.8. It will not read my RAW files from my Nikon D800 - a very new model.How can I get it to read my RAW files?

my somewhat old imac osx 10.5.8 with iphoto '08 will not read my RAW files from my new Nikon D800 camera - a new model on the market( 5 months or so). How can I get iphoto to read my RAW files?

iPhoto 08 would not read RAW files from that new a camera. You need to upgrade so you can get more up-to-date version of OS X and iPhoto. Another possiblity is see if iPhoto 11 will run on 10.5.8, if so you should update. You can also attempt to run Software Update and see if it finds a newer release of iPhoto 08 that supports newer RAW formats.

IPhoto will not import certain JPG files

I have just migrated to a 2012 Retina 15" MacBook Pro from a 13" MBP. I am using Mavericks 10.9.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1. The MBP is a 2.7gHz quad core with 16GB of memory and a 768GB SSD. I was trying to tidy up my hard disc and import some .jpg files from the output folder on my Capture One Session. iPhoto will not import certain jpg files but will import others. The message I get is as follows The following file could not be imported. The file is an unrecognised format. Then shows below for example /Users/xxxx/Pictures/Capture One Session/Output/L1000212.jpg.
I first tried creating a new library and importing to that with no success. I then rebuilt the database. I repaired permissions. I deleted the iPhoto.plist and its caches and restarted - no success. I then deleted iPhoto and reinstalled from App Store after deleting the plist and caches again. Still no luck. The .jpg files in question open perfectly in Photoshop CC and Preview. I tried altering them slightly and resaving but still they would not import. I reinstalled Mavericks - no improvement. If I reconvert the files from the original DNG's into TIFF files, then they will import to iPhoto
Any ideas anyone?

I just recorded an action in Photoshop CC to assign ProPhoto colourspace save and close. Then copied all the problem jpegs into a temp file and ran the action. With this super fast machine, It only took a few minutes to convert 500+ files and they have now all imported perfectly. I have changed my JPEG recipe to convert DNG's from embedded to ProPhoto.
Thanks again. Colourspace would never have occurred to me.

I just installed elements 11 with camera raw 7.1. My photos from iPhoto will not open in camera raw

I just installed elements 11 with camera raw 7.1 in my iMac. My raw photo files from iPhoto will not open in camera raw. The elements screen opens without a photo, but camera raw willnot open. Help.

You need to tell iphoto to send raw files out of iphoto or it will make its own conversion and send a pre-converted file. Go to the iphoto preferences>advanced and turn on this checkbox:

Iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am usuin snowleapord. Any thoughts?

iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am using snowleapord 10.6.8. Any thoughts?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
