IPhoto Won't Let Me Import

Every time I attempt to import pictures from a digital camera or from 'My Pictures' into iPhoto, the program quits unexpectedly. So I have never been able to use iPhoto or transfer the pictures onto my iPod.

I was going to try and blame your camera's media card, but the thought occurs to me that your comment about importing from "My Pictures" needs further exploration. Please describe how you are trying to import from "My Pictures". Is this a folder you have created, or do you mean the default folder named "Pictures" in your Home user account?
Importing needs to be done from within the iPhoto interface, but if you're trying to import from the "iPhoto Library" folder that's in your "Pictures" folder, then your problem may have been self-induced -- those pictures would already have been part of the iPhoto database.

  • Iphoto won't let me import my photos because it has a problem downloading an image

    I need to backup my phone because i'm getting a new one, but it won't let me back it up because i've no space left so since i have over 3000 photos in my photo library, i was going to import it to iphotos, but once i try to import it, i get a notification that it couldn't download an image. WHAT IMAGE? It won't tell me!

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Iphoto won't let me import photos from my iphone5

    I go to iPhoto on my Mac Desktop (Version 10.9.3) and plug in my iPhone 5 and it recognizes my phone. But when i go to click to import photos, none of my photos will show up even after hours of waiting. Other iPhone 5's in the house have the same problem. I've been able to import photos before with ease, but now they won't even show up!

    With your iPhone connected by USB open iTunes.
    When a dialog comes up in iTunes, confirm, that you trust your Mac on the iPhone., when the "Do you trust this Mac"  comes up on your iPhone.

  • IPhoto won't let me import images over 12 months old from camera phone

    I have a Blackberry 9700 and an iMac 27 i3. When I connected the Blackberry to the computer, the software would only let me import photos to iPhone that are 12 months old or less. Any ideas as to how to import the older pictures? Thanks for your help, I'm a complete newbie to Mac and to iPhoto!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. See if you can use Image Capture to upload those older photos to a folder on the desktop. If you can then you can import into iPhoto from there.
    Happy Holidays

  • IPhoto won't let me import photos from my camera

    I've been uploading my pictures from my camera to iPhoto for a while now and suddenly it's telling me that it can't import the photos because they're unreadable files but they're all jpegs! What do I do???

    Will Image capture (in your applications foldr) see them and bring to disk? If so then once they are safely off the memory card and on disk use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card
    and can you impoprted to iPhtoo from disk? Will preview open the photos on disk?

  • I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them to upload to youtube but it won't let me import them.

    I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them so i can upload them to youtube but it won't let me import them, even after changeing them to MP4 format, it just comes up with the message: "No Importable Files None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again."
    Ive even tried opening in itunes and copying from thier but they wont open in Itunes, no message or anything they simple just dont open. its strange because it does open in quicktime player.
    please if anyone has any ideas that can help me please let me know XD thanks.

    First problem: You're fine. The hotter it gets, the more the fans spin up. The computer is designed so that at max load, at max fan speed, it won't overheat (unless it's obstructed by something, e.g. sitting on your bed swallowed by a comforter). It's not the best thing to keep it that toasty for days at a time, but a couple hours at a time shouldn't be a problem.
    Second problem: If something in the trash won't delete, just use Secure Empty Trash and it should be fine. Since .torrent files are quite small, it should only take a couple seconds.

  • I used to be able to download files from the Harddrive of my Sony Handycam, but now it won't let me import them while going through "log and transfer."  I have tried to update my settings, but this doesn't seem to work.  Any help would be much appreciated

    I used to be able to download files from the Harddrive of my Sony Handycam, but now it won't let me import them while going through "log and transfer."  I have tried to update my settings, but this doesn't seem to work.  Any help would be much appreciated

    Hard Drive:  The Hard Drive is on my camera (Sony Handycam)
    Just needed some info on what is going on with your particular system.
    Knowing the exact camera model will also assist us.
    If this camera is standard AVCHD you should be able to connect with USB to Mac with FCE open and use Log and Transfer without all the fiddling around converting etc.
    What FCE does during ingest is convert files to AIC. (Apple Intermediate Codec)
    FCE cannot read the individual files in the BDMV folder, that's why all the converting is required when you use that method.
    BTW: regards formatting drives/cards/memory on cameras; it is wise to use the actual device to format rather than a computer. This is a prime cause of read/write goof ups with solid state media. This applies to still or video cameras.
    Keeping the COMPLETE card/memory structure in tact is vital for successful transfers.

  • I tried transferring my iphoto library from my old macbook onto my new macbook pro, but when i open the new iphoto, it seems to have transferred ALL images ever used on my old macbook.  now iphoto won't let me do anything to fix!!

    i tried transferring my iphoto library from my old macbook onto my new macbook pro (via external hard drive), but when i open the new iphoto, it seems to have transferred ALL images ever used on my old macbook. so i tried to just delete all those images so i could try a different approach to transferring, but the new iphoto won't let me do anything and every time i try to delete anything it crashes (since the image amount is so high).  please help!!

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229?viewlocale=en_US - I doubt that it will solve your problem, though. You may want to post on the iPhoto forum - that's where all of the iPhoto experts hang out.
    Good luck,

  • Iphoto won't let me print a landscape photo

    iphoto won't let me print a landscape photo this is what it is doing when i go to print and it is driving me mad pleaseeee help

    That means your original library is damaged and requires first aid.  Do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Why After Effects CC won´t let me import an .obj file as AE CS6?

    Why After Effects CC won´t let me import an .obj file as AE CS6? How could I solve this?
    Thanks.

    Hi, it's been a long time. I'm sure it was something silly I was missing.  I'll be thinking about it, as soon as I remember I'll let you know.
    Maybe if you tell me what kind of message is AE giving you or something would help me to remeber.

  • Photoshop CS5 Extended won't let me import video frames to layers?

    I've been searching for an answer for a while now, and I still can't seem to make this work. I'm trying to make gifs. I'm using a Mac and I've already switched my CS5 to a 32-bit version, but the video is greyed out even though it's an mp4 and won't let me import the video.
    I've looked through some tutorials, and everything should work. I'm have Quicktime version 10.2, so that should be the latest version?
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problem. CS 5.5. Switched to 32bit. Frames are greyed out in the open dialog.

  • IPhoto won't let me edit subtitles in slideshows

    I have the latest version of iPhoto, I'm using Lion and everything is updated.
    This happens often, not everytime, but iPhoto won't let me edit subtitles in slideshows. When I select the text and begin to type it just gives that annoying "you can't do that but I won't tell you why BEEP" that Apple have devised to irritate the **** out of people.
    On this occasion I was using the Sliding Panels theme.
    I have closed down iPhoto and restarted several times, but whatever I try it won't let me edit the text. I have read on other forums that this is not an uncommon bug, but not found a solution yet.
    Anybody any idea how to fix this, please?
    Thanks!
    Bruce

    As nobody has replied to my post yet I thought I would try something myself, and I seem to have found a work-around.
    As I said, I only get this problem now and again - about one slideshow in six - so I changed the theme to one I know works, edited the subtitles as I want them to be, then changed back to the theme I had originally, and everything works perfectly!
    You still can't re-edit these subtitles in this theme. You still get the annoying beep if you try.
    Incidentaly Apple rather churlishly censored my comment, and replaced it with four asterisks, making it look as if I was using some dreadful expletive. I merely used the commonly used word for The Price of Darkness' home that starts with a letter "h".  
    Hope this post helps someone with the same problem.

  • ITunes won't let me import songs from folders

    hey for some reason iTunes won't let me import some songs, but it will others. I've checked and there is no difference between the songs, they're both MP3's, they have the same quality and they're even by the same artist!
    Any ideas why and how I can fix it are helpful.

    I having the same problem. I noticed that some videos were missing from my itunes TV Shows playlist. Also, when I tried downloading a file into my ipod, I got an error message stating that the file was not compatiable with my iPod. Only I got the file from iTunes! I've tried deleting everything and reloading with the same results. It will not upload several files. Most of which are already AAC. I've tried adding, importing, and copy and paste with all resulting in failure.
    This is becoming a total pain in the rear. If it's not one thing, it's another. I mean every since iTunes 7, the bugs keep mounting, and that before I switch to a Vista OS.
