Iphoto won't load my photos from iphone

Just got back from vacation and my photos stopped loading from iPhone to iPhoto in mid-download.  Can't get iPhoto to stop spinning, nothing happening.  Let it roll for hours, nothing. I have to force quit to get out of it.  Any ideas?

force quit - apple menu ==> forcequit
and try again

  • IPhoto 6.06 won't import recent photos from iphone

    I've been importing photos from my iPhone for over a year, and suddenly now iPhoto 6.06 doesn't seem to see the most recent pictures on the iPhone, and won't import them. iPhoto simply seems to ignore the last 18 photos on the iPhone. If I repeat the process, it imports the same 44 photos again.
    Does anybody know what's going on, and how to fix it? I think something like this happened several months ago, and just when I was about to bring it to the Genius Bar, it started working correctly again. I'm not confident that it will fix itself this time, and even if it does, I want to know what's happening.

    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?

  • IPhoto won't delete the photos from my iphone once I have imported them and indicated to delete the photos from my phone.  Am I doing something wrong?

    I have imported several hundred photos from my iPhoen 5C into iPhoto library.  I selected yes to delete them from my iPhone but the photos remain on the phone.  Am i doing something wrong.  I don't want to pay apple a fee to get this answered via their support system.  This should be straight forward, shouldn't it?  Thanks.

    Are you asking about iCloud Photo Library (Beta) as described in: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support   ?
    In that case you will still see all photos on your iPhone, even after uploading the Photos to the iCloud Photo Library.  The photos on your iPhone may be light-weight optimized previews, if you have the setting
    Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library > Optimize [device] Storage   enabled.
    But as long as you have enough free storage, will the your iPhone keep the full resolution versions of the photos you access most frequently.

  • IPhoto won't import .mov files from iPhone

    I'm trying to import the photos and videos from my iPhone and the following screen shows up:
    I've only had this trouble since updating to Yosemite. Any help is appreciated.
    MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2010)
    8GB Memory
    2.53 GHz Intel Core i5

    There are many, many posts of this nature in these forums.  See, for example:
    iphoto won’t import mov video
    For many, rebuilding the XPC helper cache solves the problem off the bat. In terminal try this, and reboot:
    sudo /usr/libexec/xpchelper --rebuild-cache
    The above posted by Andy Ball on a thread related to a similar problem with Aperture:
    Re: Import video to Aperture library on Mountain Lion
    Other things to try:
    1. create a fresh iPhoto library and try that.  (hold down opt while launching iPhoto)
    2. create a new OS X user (in system preferences) and try there.
    In my case – and many cases – neither of those things work either, which means the problem is system wide.  Again suggesting that the xpc helper solution might work. But for me it did not either.
    There are other suggestions that there are conflicts with Perian (on Yosemite) and flip4mac.  In my case uninstalling both of those didn't solve it either.
    So maybe one of those solutions will work for you, results apparently vary.  But this is a huge unresolved issue many others are having as well.  I have a case with a senior apple advisor open, still unresolved. His suggestion of course, at this point, is an archive and re-install. I'm not ready to go there yet.
    BTW, another thing he had me try was to import the file with Image Capture (which works).  Then open it in QuickTime Player X.  Then try exporting to 480p.  Does QuickTime crash?  It does for me.
    My summary:
    1. Files successfully import with Image Player.
    2. Files play with QuickTime Player X.
    3. QuickTime Player X crashes when exporting to 480p.
    4. Files import with iMove.
    5. Files fail to import with iPhoto (unrecognized format as with OP)
    6. iPhoto import failure/errors are system wide and not specific to a library or a user.
    7. rebuilding xpchelper cache and rebooting in my case does not resolve issue.
    8. same videos import fine in iPhoto on a totally different system (laptop running same versions of OS X 10.10 and iPhoto 9.5.1)

  • Iphoto won't let me upload from iphone! "Unrecognisable"

    HI!
    Someone please help!
    I was uploading my photos from my iphone and it wasn't working so I went into image capture. It worked fine and I copied and pasted them into iphoto...EXCEPT!!
    It won't let me upload the last few months (approx 1,000 photos) of photos on my iphone.
    Those last photos don't show up on image capture at all, like they don't exist, but they do. They are my most recent photos I've taken.
    I can view these remaining ones on iphoto,(unlike image capture) but it won't let me upload them either. Says "Unrecognisable format" or something
    Please help ~

    Then you have the absolute bare minimum you need, and in reality, when taking temporary files into account, very likely much less than that.
    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.

  • HT201317 why my apple tv 3 won't load all photos from my photo stream

    I have over 500 pictures on my Photo Stream and it shows on my iPhone 4S and on iPhoto o my MacBook but on my Apple TV it only loads 10 pictures. What is going on?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device, it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

  • IPhoto won't import new photos from Photo Stream.

    Hello,
    iPhoto won't import new taken pictures from Photo Stream. When I disable and then re-enable Photo Stream, all pictures will be imported to iPhoto. But when I take some more pictures, these won't appear in Photo Stream (until disabling/enabling Photo Stream in iPhoto).
    Anyone with similar experience?

  • Photo Stream fails to load all photos from iPhone to Aperture (3.3.2)

    using Aperture 3.3.2 on macbook pro with mountain lion - photos that do get imported are from other projects (aperture library on imac), and iphone photos don't get imported. Tried several things: turning off and turning on photo sharing from all devices, checking to make sure that no conflicts exist between iphoto, aperture, that shared Aperture libraries are sync'ed.
    Also, tried to insert ONE photo from existing Aperture library into photostream. After 4 hours, no synchronization on any mobil device (iphone, ipads). Tried turning off photo stream in iphone and restarting it ..no problem recreating the stream...
    Any ideas what to try? I'm stumped.
    Thanks in advance

    Photostream only uploads the photos taken (or imported to the device) AFTER you enable Photostream.  Photos from prior to Photostream being turned on will not upload.  You could just take screenshots of the older photos to create 'new' images, or transfer your photos to your computer manually.

  • IPhoto won't import .mov video from iPhone

    I just got my wife a new Mac mini.  It is running the latest versions of Mountain Lion and iPhoto.
    She's recorded some short videos of the kids with her iPhone (4s), and wants to organize these in iPhoto alongside pictures of the kids (she's done this before).
    However, since getting her new computer, when she tried to import the videos, she got an error message that said the files were an unrecognized format.
    We were able to retrieve the videos and copy them to her hard drive using Image Capture; however, she would still like to import them to iPhoto.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • IPhoto won't import jpeg photos from camera

    I've been using the same method to import photos from my camera to iPhoto '09 with no problem ever since we got this computer. All of the sudden, the photos will not import and the error message says the file format is unreadable. All photos have the name.jpg format.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Julie.
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There will may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    If the issue persists these jpeg files may be damaged. Try importing them using Image Capture found in Macintosh HD > Applications.
    If Image Capture can import them you can then try to add them to iPhoto.
    If you still get the same error message try opening the files with Preview by double-clicking on them. You can then go to File > Save As > Format > TIFF and add those files to iPhoto.
    Consider using these best practice tips to avoid or minimize the impact of issues in the future:
    _Ensure your camera has a full charge on the battery before you import (Or run off of AC if possible).
    _Ensure the date and time on the camera are correct before importing.
    _If you are using a media card reader and are getting regular failures, try using a different reader or the camera itself (The same is true about importing directly from the camera. Try a reader instead.)
    _Plug the camera directly into the computer with a solid connection, no loose cables. Don't use a hub.
    _Reformat the camera's media card using the camera itself between uses.
    _Alternate between multiple media cards during photo shoots (trips, etc) so that if one card goes bad (they are just little bits of plastic after all) you don't lose the entire shoot.
    Hope that helps.

  • Iphoto won't import new photos from ipad

    It showed 20 photos which I then imported into iPhoto from my iPad.
    But there are MANY more which have not been previously imported into iphoto
    How can I get those photos FROM my iPad into iPhoto on my mac?????

    You can only import photos that are in the camera roll into iPhoto on your Mac. If the photos are in the photo stream, you have to save them to the camera roll before you can import them. Does what I am describing fit your situation?

  • IPhoto takes ages to import photos from iPhone

    Hi all,
    I've got ~75 photos on my iphone 4S that I want to transfer to my macbook pro - from what I gather my best option is iPhoto (I've got iPhoto '09 v8.1.2). I selected them all and clicked Import, and it's taking forever. Like, 3-4 minutes per photo. There are zero existing photos in my iPhoto library (I've never actually used iPhoto before, so it should be in fresh "out of the box" condition) and all the photos were taken on my iphone, so there aren't any huge files slowing me down.
    Anyone seen this before, or got ideas?
    Cheers

    oops, my bad. The first 10 were video...that's why it was taking forever

  • IPhoto suddenly unable to import photos from iPhone 4

    For some odd reason, my copy of iPhoto 09 has suddenly lost the ability to import photos and videos from my iPhone 04. The import starts, then simply hangs (without iPhoto actually freezing). If I force quit iPhoto, I then receive a message saying saying certain imported photos have not been added to the library and asking if I want to import them now. I click okay, and a just couple of oddly duplicated photos appear. iPhoto also no longer sees my iPhone unless I restart. Some mysterious corruption? Is deleting the iPhoto plist file and/ or cache likely to make a difference?

  • IPhoto stopped working while importing photos from iPhone

    I am new to Mac OX and I just tried to load all my pictures in the iPhone to the Macbook Air by iPhoto.
    There were some 4000 pictures in my iPhone.  During the import and while the blue bar go half way, the picture stopped skipping and the import seemed to stop itself.
    I clicked "Stop Import" and then clicked "Keep Photos" in the prompt.  However, nothing happened.  The iPhoto just don't let me quit and prompted "Photos are being imported to the photo library.  Please wait for import to complete".
    what should I do?  I just want to back up my photos.
