  • IPhoto won't allow me to import photos from my iPhone?

    I currently am using iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 but I'm having trouble importing photos from my iPhone 6 to my MacBook. I can plug my phone into my computer and it will show up under "devices". However, all of the photos and videos from my iPhone only show up as grey boxes with a white dotted line around them. When I press either "import all" or "import selected", it says that each photo or video is unreadable because it is in an unrecognized format. I tried updating to a newer iPhoto version but I don't have Mac OS X version 10.10 or later on my MacBook. Thanks for the help!

    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?
    Post back with the result.

    You are in the wrong forum if you are making a brochure, and you are not saying what version of Photoshop Elements that you are using.
    You can repost your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and then move it from here to there.
    While we are waiting for those decisions, here is something you to think about
    1. Assuming Photoshop Elements 11 Windows.....
    You should be able to click your sized down photo on screen to get a bounding box around it for additional resizing. And, if you click on the Layer for this photo in the Layers Palette, you should be able to see the photo's bounding box on screen.
    Either one of those happening?
    With the Move Tool selected, look to the bottom of the workspace where the Move Tool options are shown. Do you have a check mark next to "Auto Select Layer"? Check what is happening with and without the check mark there. Remember Move Tool is selected in this example.
    Best wishes

  • HT201250 I am doing an initial back up of my files, which looks like it's going to take 3-4 days because of photos. If I turn off the computer in the middle of the download to Time Machine, does this delete everything that has been backed up so far? Thnx.

    I am about halfway done uploading files to Time Machine. However, because I have a lot of photos, the upload is taking days. If I turn off my computer, will I lose the files that have been uploaded so far?
    Thanks!

    How much is on your system, what are you backing-up to, and how is it connected?  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #29 for a rough idea of how long it should take.
    If I turn off my computer, will I lose the files that have been uploaded so far?
    If you turn it off, doubtful, but the backups may need to be repaired, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    If you cancel the backup, no. But they'll be mostly inaccessible until a backup does complete normally.
    They're in an 'in.Progress" package on the backup drive; when you start another backup, Time Machine will start over, but it won't re-copy all that data.  It will take quite a while, and appear to be backing-up quite slowly, as it recovers those files. 
    If you're backing-up to a TIme Capsule, connect via Ethernet cable if at all possible -- it will still take a long time (20-25 GBhour) but be much faster and more reliable than via WIFI.

    What update are you referring to?  If you do a search for "Kodak" in the iPhoto community you'll find numerous posts regarding problems with Kodak cameras. 
    So far there's no known fix.  The best workaround is to use a card reader with the memory card of the camera.

  • IPhoto won't load albums or import

    When I open iPhoto it says loading pictures but they never load. It just continues. I've moved all the images to the desktop and tried importing them but it keeps giving me a message saying that is can't recognise some of the data even though the images were working for months.
    Pictures won't import from my camera either and it never had a problem previously (it's a Concord 4060AF)

    First here are two Apple KB documents that you should be aware of, particularly the second one:
    iPhoto Library Description
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder
    How did you move those files to the desktop? Did you move the entire iPhoto library folder to the desktop, relaunch iPhoto and then drag that old library folder into the open iPhoto window? If that's what you did, you're getting all of the original files, edited files and thumbnail files imported as normal files and the files that you're getting the message about are non image files.
    What you want to do is
    1 - move any iPhoto library folder out of the pictures folder. If your original iPhoto Library folder is on the desktop then trash the one currently in the Pictures folder.
    2 - launch iPhoto and create a new library.
    3 - using the File->Add to Library menu option, select your original iPhoto Library folder and start the import process that way.
    You should now get only the original files and the edited files, no thumbnail files. Also you may retain some roll organization. When you're satisfied that you have all your photos in the new library you can trash the old one.
    For the record, did you do any moving of files within your original library folder before this happen or run any software updates just before?

  • IPhoto 9.1.5 spinning wheel importing photos from SD-Card

    Hi,
    On the Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo 1.66 GhZ) with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and iPhoto 9.1.5, when inserting a SD-Card from a camera, through a USB Card Reader, iPhoto starts and switches to the import assistant, but won't ever display the content of the card.
    iPhoto is not responding, and it is required to Force Quit it. Then eject the memory Card. When restarting iPhoto, still the same issue : even with no Card in the reader, iPhoto shows a spinning wheel. You have to force quit, reboot, and then iPhoto works again.
    This scenario happens each time I insert a SD-Card in the reader. I've tried with 2 different SD-Cards.
    Importing pictures works well from finder : dragging pictures from the SD-Card in Finder to iPhoto works like a charm.
    Disk space free is only 85%, less than 10GB. Total hard disk space 80GB. Total iPhoto Library size is 35GB.
    The problem occurred after last software update.
    I've not tryed to repair yet, I need to take a backup first.
    Can anyone tell me what's wrong ?
    Thanks.
    Philippe

    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do. Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

  • HT1229 How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto?  The size of my imported photos are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB.  Any suggestions appreciated.

    How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto?  The size of my imported photos from my camera are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB.   Scanned copies of older photographs with a size of 100 to 500 KB work very well.  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

    File -> Export and make your choices in the Export dialogue.
    Jpeg Quality and Size will have most effect on file size. Note that 'Size' refers to the pixel dimensions of the photo.
