Iphoto won't read my sd cars.

I want to upload some photos that I have on my SD card (Lexar Platinum II) but my iMac or iPhoto won't read it. I've uploaded photos before but now it won't even pop up. Please help! I need these up!

Are you connecting a camera? If so, what brand? Or a  Card Reader?

  • When using USB input iPod classic won't read in new car

    Just bought a new car with a factory iPod ready stereo system. When using the USB input iPod Classic won't read but son's iPod touch does. Anyway I can fix this? I know my Classic works fine as I was using it in my other car and it works in my wife's car. Is the car just too new therefore making my Classic incompatible and soon to be obsolete?

    the best option is to contact the car manufacturer or look at the manual to make sure it supports your ipod verision. if it is a custom radio then look then contact the manufacturer or look at the manual for same thing. you can try a reset with http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.

  • Lion and Latest iPhoto won't read Library.

    I just bought an iMac (which cam with Lion). I used the Migration Assistant to move accounts and files from my G5/Leopard computer, and that seems to have gone fairly well. However, the iPhoto Library can't be opened by the iPhoto on the new machine. When I launch iPhoto, a message that the database needs to be updated is displayed, the system crunches on that for a while, then displays a message that the file system cannot be read.
    I've checked permissions, and everything looks OK. The file works just fine on the old machine. I don't know what to try next. Please help!

    Thank you, rkaufmann87, for your suggestion. That didn't work, as I already have version 9.1.5 installed.
    The cause of the issue seems to have been that, on my older machine, I had the library in another location so that other users could access it, and just a shortcut in my Pictures folder. Even though I copied the actual library over to my new Pictures folder, iPhoto wanted to point to the old location (which was still available). It simply couldn't do that. So, I disconnected my old computer, started iPhoto afresh, telling it to use the newly copied library. All is now well. Thanks again.

  • IPhoto won't read any of my portrait photos, only the landscape ones. They only show up as black portraits and I already erased them off my memory card. Any idea how to retrieve them or fix the problem?

    I am using a 16 GB Sandisk Extreme Pro SD Card with a Canon EOS 60D camera and my files are saved as .raw on the memory card. I imported all my photos into iPhoto and then clicked the 'delete photos', as I always do after I imported by pictures, but when I went through my pictures I saw some black rectangles. It appears that all my portrait-orientated photos are just black whereas my landscape photos are perfectly fine. My portrait potos did turn up on my camera screen when I checked them through as I took them but now they're gone. Any idea if this is a software problem with iPhoto, an error with my memory card or even my camera? I've experienced this problem a bunch of times and it's really starting to annoy me that I'm losing all my photos.

    What version of iPhoto?
    Select one and rotate it. Then rotate it back. Does that make it appear? 
    A much better work flow is the keep the photos after importing.  Check the success the import, wait for at least one successful backup cycle then use you camera's format command to reformat the card

  • How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data in the packet cannot be read from or written to"?

    How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data canny be read from or written to"?

    Regarding not being able to open iPhoto.  As a test  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Were you able to create a new library?
    If so then your current library is damaged and needs to be repaired.
    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I have a Olympus C-3000 and it won't read in the new iphoto.  It reads in my old version on my older computer.  Is there a driver I need or something else?

    I have a Olympus C-3000 and it won't read in the new iphoto.  It reads in my old version on my older computer.  Is there a driver I need or something else?

    Yes, different computers, different OS's, as stated, does not work on any machine except PPC.
    Nothing in console logs.  Does not show up in USB under system profiler.
    Level 1 tech support.  "May be this" or "may be that", but all a waste of time unless someone has the actual camera and can independently verify my results.
    If it were just a matter of it happening on one machine that would be one thing.  The fact that it only does not work on Intel based machines (and thus Snow Leopard and Lion) it is a pretty good indicator that something is missing in the OS.

  • IPhoto won't launch after 10.4.9 update

    I updated via software update to 10.4.9, but now iPhoto won't open. It sits at the "loading photos" screen for a minute or two with a spinning beach ball and then quits. I tried reinstalling the update from apple's website but that didn't help either. Thankfully, the pictures are still on the hard drive.
    What to do?
    15" MacBook Pro 2.33GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I just spent a few hours on the phone w/ Apple Care, we did end up ditching that file, as well as a few others. Lets just say this, I am now forced to rebuild my library from the Originals folder.
    It's my own fault for not backing up before updating. Stupid.

  • After I upgraded to Yosemite iphoto can't recognize my backup CDs which were created in iLife09. Ihave the original applications install disk and my old hard drive(I upgraded  to SSD). How do I get a n iphoto back to read by old CDs?

    After I upgraded to Yosemite,iPhoto can't recognize my backup CDs created in iLife 09. The applications install disk won't install iphoto because iphoto 9.5 is already installed..I updated to a SSD and have the original Hard Drive with an updated iphoto which recognized the older CDs(thanks to iphoto expander). I thought that the iphoto that transferred with the new hard drive was the same as what was on the old one. I guess it wasn't. I really need to access my backups.   HELP

    Later version of iPhoto write to the library on opening, and so cannot open libraries on optical media, as that cannot be written to. Further, optical media is going e way of the floppy disk. Therefore, you need to use a different form of archiving and back up going forward.
    To allow iPhoto to open these libraries you need to copy them to your Mac or an attached external disk.
    To merge them into an existing Library will require that you use either Aperture (if you have it) or iPhoto Library Manager.

  • Upgrade to Yosemite, iPhoto won't open and NTFS-3G could not mount error with new external HD

    Help! 
    I just did a software update to get OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 on my MacBook Pro.
    Now iPhoto won't open and I get this error:
    "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable....Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup."
    So I do this and try to repair the database as suggested and I get another error:
    "iPhoto will open as soon as the iPhoto library is available. Time Machine might be backing it up." 
    But it's not - no external hard drive is connected. 
    I'm terrified I can't get access to my photos (and I admit I haven't backed up with Time Machine for over a year - my mistake that I won't make again). 
    So I bought a brand new external hard drive (seagate for mac and pc, 2TB) so I could save only my photos to the hard drive (because I googled and read you can manually save your photos to disk by dragging and dropping the photo library onto the external hard drive). 
    But I can't even get the hard drive to work....I get this error
    "NTFS-3G could not mount /dev/disk2s1
    at /Volumes/Seagate Backup Plus Drive because the following problem occurred:
    /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/fusefs.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) link error; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).
    the MacFUSE file system is not available (71)"
    I google the issue again and it says to uninstall NTFS-3G but I actually think I just deleted it a long ago without uninstalling it properly??  I don't know....
    (a)  how do i fix iphoto
    (b)  how do i get external hard drives to work with this OS (I've read lots of posts and don't really understand the advice)
    (c)  how do i get all my photos onto the hard drive safely so I can import them onto a PC
    Any assistance would be magic for this little lady! 

    (c)  how do i get all my photos onto the hard drive safely so I can import them onto a PC
    First see if you can reformat the EHD to MS-DOS FAT with Disk Utility.  If you can
    open iPhoto and select all of the Events in the Events mode. Use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option and export to the EHD with these settings:
    Select the destination for the export to be the EHD or a folder on the EHD.  This process will create a folder for each Event in your library with the same name as the Event and contain the original image files.  The EHD will be useable by a PC and the photos will be available also.

  • ILife '11 installed and now iPhoto won't open, "damaged or incomplete".

    I was unable to use iDVD after having Mountain Lion installed.  I had an iLife '11 disk and I installed it.  I didn't see any changes in the application folder so I used the iLife '11 disk again, found the iDVD application and selectively installed it.  Now I have and iPhoto icon with a white circle crossed out and when I try to open iPhoto, I get the message,  "You can’t open the application “iPhoto.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete."
    I don't know what version of iPhoto I have because there are just two dashes after the "version" when I Right Click and select "Get info" on the iPhoto.app line in Finder.
    I have been reading support blogs for hours last night and this morning.  I am afraid to try any of the fixes because I have already caused problems for myself and my problem doesn't seem to exactly match anyone elses problem, but seems to be a mixture of more than one problem. 
    I have a backup harddisk that was set to the time machine before I had my computer repaired.  It only backs up to Dec 2, 2013.  I have not hooked it up again yet out of fear that it will start backing up and mixing old with new.  I had Lion before the repair (new video disk) and when I received the computer, Mountain Lion was installed.  This was last week.  I specifically asked that Mavericks not be installed because I was reading so much unhappiness with it.
    So - any help extremely appreciated.  I am frozen.

    You need to reinstall. There is no choice.
    Note the instructions below for reinstalling from Disk:
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
    I specifically asked that Mavericks not be installed because I was reading so much unhappiness with it.
    There is much unhappiness with every version of every Os and App everr released - roll back to the release of Mountain Lion and you'll see exactly the same type of commentary. In the main, much of this commentary is useless.
    The problems are manifold: for a start, happy people are less likely to review, unhappy people are much more inclined to. That's why we don't have thousands and thousands of posts on this forum from all the people who have no problems saying "look I have no problems". Unhappy people get cross and are more likely to express that anger in negative reviews.
    Then what about the reviewer? What is his or her knowledge, experience and skill level? No doubt they are having problems, and real ones, but how do you know if their issues are problems with the app, their own inexperience, third party conflicts and so on. I've seen people on here claim the fact that iPhoto won't edit video is a bug. I've seen hundreds and hundreds of posts from folks on here who are certain they've found a bug, only for their glitch to be resolved. No review is worth anything unless you know something of the reviewer, his or her knowledge and experience.
    So frankly, I never bother with those reviews on any such stores, not just iPhoto on the Mac App Store.

  • My iPhoto won't open keeps on giving me an error message and my microsoft office two

    my iPhoto won't open keeps on giving me an error message and my microsoft office two

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )

    What haven't you backed them up? You should always have a back up of any important material on your Mac. Make one now:
    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
    What version of iPhoto do you have?
