Iphoto won't open the pix from iphone camera role

i've rebooted the phone and all that shows in iphoto when it's mounted the iphone is the white dotted thumbnail frames, but no pix and when trying to still import, says cannot import the numbe rof pix there...not sure how to fix this..this happened once before with an ipod from years ago, and someone gave me a fix, and i wonder if something similar would work...except if it would, i still don't remember it... any help would be appreciated...

I have the same issue after upgrading to iOS4 my iPhone 3GS. It transfers pictures though, I just cannot see thumbnails, not a worst thing in the world by irritating nevertheless. If you will remember that trick you were told - post it here

    My iPhoto won't open, the 'dial' keeps turning & turning.  What do I do?

    If the rebuild doesn't help try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Iphoto won't open.  Reinstalled from iLife.  Little thing just spins and spins.  Any suggestions? disk and still nothing.

    iPhoto won't open.  Little circle/wheel icon just keeps spinning.  Reinstalled from iLife disk, and still no luck.  Any suggestions?

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

  • Iphoto won't open after changing from os10.5 to os10.4

    hello there
    last night i reinstalled os10.4. i have been running leopard, but a program that i want to use is not yet compatible with it.
    after installing it, it put all of my documents/files in a folder called 'previous system' on my hard drive. i then moved all the files back to their 'proper' folders (i.e. itunes, documents etc)
    i moved the iphoto library and put it in my 'pictures' folder, but for some reason now iphoto won't open..it just bounces once in the dock and then nothing happens....
    can anyone help? i've got some really precious photos in my library, and i'd be really gutted if i have lost them...
    thanks

    i'm using 7.1.1

  • Iphoto no longer deletes the images from iPhone 5s after import.

    I have the latest version of IOS, and iPhoto.  Now, when I connect my iPhone 5s and import the photos and select the delete all that was imported option the photos on the iPhone are NOT deleted.
    Everything is stock apple software.  Not jail broken, or any sketchy software installed.  All updates are installed immediately.  Has anyone experienced this problem?
    Ben.

    The short answer:
    You're wrong.  Either the software is malfunctioning and is suffering from a critic bug, or the Hardware is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced.  Everything is under warranty so it doesn't really matter which one it is as long as the issue is resolved.
    I just want to find out how many other users are experiencing this issue and help narrow it down before I report it to Apple.
    The long answer:
    Hi,
    I'm a CSEE engineer with with a background in QE/QA. It's literally my job to define exactly what a piece of software and hardware products is supposed to do.
    I validate the design of products, and verify the functionality of the product. For the record I do not work for Apple, and my employer is not affiliated with Apple in any way. Your answer blew me away!  LOL.
    Wow.  Where to start? Any answer is not better than none.
    Your answer is completely wrong and it's dangerous because your kind of answer will discourage regular people from asking questions on this forum. It sounds like it's coming form a professional and it sounds decisive, definitive, and final.  Almost like an edict! LOL.  Unfortunately it's also completely incorrect. That's the only reason I felt compelled to respond to your response.

    is a ridiculous answer.
    I am saying that as both an engineer with an extensive experience in QA/QE, as well as a lay person who prefers to to use Apple products. Software and hardware should perform as designed and as expected. Apple software and hardware usually does exactly that. When it doesn't it gets fixed very quickly as long as it's reported.
    You' don't trust Apple software and hardware to behave as expected? Why buy Apple then if you have such a low opinion of the reliability, design, and quality assurance of their products? It's the most expensive hardware in the market in it's class; so it's definitely not the "bargain" factor.
    I buy Apple products because they perform as expected, have a superior intuative user interface, and it is all backed by solid customer service. This is the first time in years that I've had to deal with such a glaring malfunction. Somehow in jumping from Mavericks to YosemiteI, and IOS 7.x to  IOS 8.x somehow the ball got dropped and I just want to know if this is a "one in a million case," or is it a more common bug before I report it to Apple. Either way it will be reported.
    I am using two Apple products together and using Apple branded software designed specifically for those products on top of that. It's a MacBook pro, an iPhone 5s, and I'm using Apple's iPhoto as the interface. You actually said:

    2. You can erase the photos from your Phone with Image Capture (in the Applications Folder)
    So first you say specifically to "never use iPhoto to delete photos."  An app that was specifically designed by Apple for this purpose. Then you up the ante and and add "or any other app." But then step 2 you reverse yourself completely and say "use image capture" to erase photos. Why trust one Apple software, And distrust another? Why not trust the one designed for the purpose? Is it an article of faith? LOL.
    I don't know if you ever noticed this; but, when you connect your iPhone to your MacBook, OSX automatically launches iPhoto as the de facto standard app for dealing with imports and deleting images from your iPhone.  Yes you can customize that; but, the default factory standard is iPhoto. This has been the case for years, and it has worked flawlessly until now.
    To advise people to not trust the app designed by Apple for Apple Products to do the work it was designed to do is funny to say the least.
    The expected behavior of iPhoto is that imported images to the MacBook should be deleted when I tell the software to delete images. When the software tells me that it is deleting images and then I find out that it did not; that is a bug, and critical one at that. Major software functionality is being affected and the software is not behaving as designed, advertised, or expected.
    I verified the bug by:
    1- Saying no to the delete option at import time,
    2- verified that the images have been imported.
    3- disconnected and reconnected the iPhone.
    4- When iPhoto informs me that all images have already been imported. I choose the option to delete images that have already been imported.
    5- IPhoto still fails to delete the images.
    I'm able to reproduce this bug 100% of the time. I want to know if others are experiencing this behavior.
    Where did you ever get the idea that malfunctioning software, or software that is not performing according to design is a "Good" thing or that a bug is not a bug; but, a desirable feature?
    From a lay person's perspective, the dialog box box in the iPhoto "import" function clearly states that import was successful, and asks if the user wishes to delete the photos that have been already imported.  This is the way iPhoto has always worked ever since my iPhone 3gs days. 
    The fact that the iPhotos app asks if you want want the pictures that were just imported DELETED from your iPhone means the expected software and hardware behavior is that the photos that were already imported should be deleted and the storage freed for others uses.  Having to use third-party software is not a real workaround or even desirable. There is something wrong with either the iPhone hardware, iPhoto software, OS X Yosemite, Or IOS 8.1.2. Any one of these issues is important enough that it should be looked at.
    I need to zero in on the cause, and have Apple fix it. It could hardware or software issue.  It could be just me, or hundreds, or thousands of people. Everything I have is under warranty so the repair is free and it is expected. I have been able to consistently reproduce this error and I want to know how widespread this problem is.
    The reason I buy Apple products at a higher premium instead of alternative brands such as Samsung, or Sony, or LG is the Apple reliability and user experience. If as a user I don't report a bug; then over the long-term, that reliability and user experience is going to degrade. I'm not investigating this as an "Apple" hater; but, as a supporter and an enthusiast. Finding out how widespread the problem is would help Apple out. When I'm on the solving end of this kind of an equation; I know I would appreciate all the information that I can get.
    On a more personal level, this bug has already negatively affected my user experience. Recently we were visiting a national Park, I took hundreds of pictures, dozens of videos, and I dutifully imported them into my laptop that night and I elected to delete what has been imported. I assumed that when iPhoto reported the pictures were deleted; that this was indeed the case. The next day we went to another national Park and only a third through the day my iPhone 5s reported that there was no more storage. I then had to then manually delete over 900 photos and videos.
    There is no batch delete in the iPhone "Photos" user app interface. I had to go into the iPhone "Photos" select menu, scroll through hundreds of photos. Find where I had imported the day before, and then delete well over 900 photos and videos manually by individually selecting each one and then clicking delete. It took over an hour.
    Yes, in the select dialog box you can select the multiple images and then click delete once; But, on a moving boat with all sorts of distractions this little exercise took an exceedingly long time. It also took my attention away from my family for well over an hour. I didn't see anything that I now can remember during that time and I couldn't interact with my family the way they deserved. I have no memories of that boat trip either in my brain, or on my camera because I was busy deleting. It wasn't by choice, I had to either do the deleting right then, or miss the show that was after the boat ride. I chose the lesser of two evils.
    The point of my little story is, that the boat ride with my family is an irrecoverable moment in time that is forever lost. It wasn't life-and-death, but it was precious and it is gone forever. There is no way to recover it. There are no time machines.  This simple bug, or hardware malfunction was the cause, and I want to make sure it doesn't happen to me, or anyone ever again.  That was the first time I experienced the bug.  Since then it has been the rule and not the exception.

  • Iphoto won't open raw files from leica dlux-6 camera.

    I just purchased a leica d-lux 6 camera and use a macbook. seems that iphoto which I've been using for years  can not open raw files from this camera. Will it ever?  I downlaoded the free lightroom Leica gave and it can open raw but it seems to require more of a learning curve than iphoto. If I continue to use both lightroom and iphoto on same mac computer cause problems?  Any suggestions?  I guess i could shoot in jpeg and raw and use only iphoto for jpegs and use LR for the occasional raw shots?

    Correct, the D-Lux 6 is not currently supported for Raw in iPhoto or Aperture. Apple may add support in a future update. Let them know you want it:
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    LR is a very powerful, professional grade application and yes, requires a lot more learning than iPhoto. If that doesn't interest you, then respectfully, I would suggest that you just shoot Jpeg.

  • 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 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.

  • Browsing iPhoto library (stored in the cloud) from iPhone

    Dear Apple community geeks,
    Can you please suggest the best solution for the below:
    I have my iPhoto library stored in the cloud (CrashPlan) and a personal NAS (Synology).
    I'd like to view pictures of this library from my iPhone without losing the library structure (Projects, Albums..).
    So far, browsing via available apps, I'm only left with the classical "folder structure" of the iPhoto library (as if I'd "show package contents").
    Any good option with my current set-up? If not, would (at least) iCloud make this possible?
    Many thanks!
    Petr

    I have taken off the unwanted apps from iTunes but they still show on my iPhone. Go to App Store > Updates > Purchased > and the unwanted Apps are under both "All" and "Not on this Iphone" tabs. There is a little cloud with a down arrow so I can redownlaod it to my phone but, I want to remove some all together. It is hard to scroll thru all of them to find Apps that you may use on special occasion. Can I get rid of the in this location on my phone? And if so, How? Thanks

  • My iPhoto won't open after reverting from mavericks to mountain lion! HELP!!

    I recently upgraded to mavericks & quickly discovered that protools was not compatible with the new OS.. so i called apple & they suggested i back up my files & completely restore my computer so I could return to mountain lion..afterward i realized my ilife was no longer in my applications & had use the applications cd that came with my computer to upload ilife. now when i go to use iphoto it says " You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto." & forces me to quit. I dont see any ipdates for iphoto & at this point dont know what to do!! please help!

    Older version of iPhoto cannot open libraries that have been created or opened with later versions. 
    You can downgrade the library to 9.4.3 by following this iPLM tutorial: Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager Help - Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto

  • 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.

  • My iPhoto won't recognize the pictures from my iPhone.

    I have been able to upload photos from my iPhone in the past to iPhoto no problem. But I recently went through and deleted some of the photos I had previously had on my iPhone 4s, leaving some still there. I decided to try and upload these pictures recently and it still shows I have 264 pictures to upload; however, it can't find any of them...when I really only have 82 pictures left on the phone. It shows the correct number of photos for my iPhone on iTunes. But I can not get the iPhoto to upload them. Suggestions please?

    Greetings,
    Locate the Pages document wherever it's located on your computer and click once on it to highlight it.
    Go to File > Duplicate to make a backup copy of the file.
    Click once again on the file to highlight it.
    Go to File >  Get Info
    In the "Name & Extension" category remove the ".pages" extension and put in ".zip".
    Close the info window and double-click the now renamed pages file (zip file now).It will decompress into a folder which contains all the base components including all the images you added.  These can be dragged onto the iPhoto icon to import them.
    Hope that helps.

  • 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 ~

    10.05 GB available
    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.

  • Iphoto won't open/accept images from USB drive

    Hello. I copied a bunch of photos from another mac onto a USB drive. Then I put them on my desktop. They are all jgp files (IMG_033.jpg, for example) , but I can't open any of them. I can't open them from the desktop, I can't drag them into iphoto, and I can't do it by importing from iphoto. I also tried renaming the files and using preview (based on what someone said in another posting) and that doesn't work either. I get messages that say "Unreadable file cannot be imported" (when I try via iphoto) or "original item can't be found" (when I try from desktop or preview).
    Help?

    nasreen
    original item can't be found" (when I try from desktop or preview).
    Sounds like you didn't copy the files to the usb device, but instead made aliases to them.
    Do the icons have a little arrow on them? What size are the files?
