Iphoto would not import movies from Iphone 4 - ANYBODY ELSE HAS ISSUES?

Hello,
Yes Iphone 4 is so sexy.
I have reception issues too unfortunatly , only where reception is weak anyway, but yes it happens...
also iphoto would not import most of the times
the iphone 4 videos?
any suggestions why and how to fix it ?
Many thx
Anteros

I was encountering this on the developers' beta of iTunes 9.2 on a gigabyte-sized iPhone 4 movie. (I am in Developer Program.)
I just reinstalled with the standard iTunes download and was able to do a successful import directly from the phone.
Perhaps an iTunes reinstall can fix it for you as it did for me.

IPhoto does not import video from iPhone 4

We've been battling this problem for a while now. We have two iPhone 4's and any time we import photos to iPhoto, we have to select photos individually, making sure to NOT select any videos taken with the iPhone 4, in order to get them to import to iPhoto. If there is a video in the set, all photos after that are reported as unrecognized format and won't import. We can then select those photos that didn't import and reimport them and it works. Importing videos, either single videos or groups, or when mixed in with photos just doesn't work. Every time it fails with the unrecognized format error. We are able to import directly from a flip video camera, or if we first transfer the videos from the iphone to the hard drive using a different utility, but when we then import those files into iPhoto, they come in, but without the usual thumbnail image (they show up in the library as black).
This problem has been going on since iPhoto 09. We bought the 11 upgrade hoping it would fix this problem. It made it a little better (we used to not be able to import anything from the phones), but it still doesn't work for video. If it were just one of the phones I'd say it was the phone, but both phones have the problem. We've been seeing this problem for many months now.

Believe me, we've tried it all. Resetting, restarting, reinstalling, clearing preferences, caches, resetting databases, removing all photos off the iPhone and starting from zero. I've read probably 15 different threads on the subject and tried at least as many solutions. In a few instances the problem got better...for 1 sync. Then it cropped up again. I tried syncing to a fresh iPhoto database, and the problem came back for that one as well. I'm really hoping that Apple is working on a solution for this. We've put a lot of effort into our iPhoto archives and the main reason we bought the iPhone's was for the camera (even suffering through AT&T's questionable coverage for it). It doesn't seem like we are the only ones having this trouble.

Iphoto is not importing photos from iPhone 4 automatically

My iPhone use to auto upload all my pictures to iPhoto. Since both the updates I havent uploaded any new ones, and tonight i tried to. No such luck. Even tried to use preview which didnt work. Also the trick where you delete the com.apple name thing isnt their, only one that reads iwork.pages.plist. HELP!

No version of iPhoto ever imported anything from anywhere automatically. I'm not sure how Preview fits into this. Can you try explain again?

Iphoto does not import movies from my samsung nv24

...please help me, otherwise i have to buy a new camera....

This issue has been reported before and arises because of some anomaly between Samsung's non-standard way of using Time Code and Apple's over stringent adherence to standards.
Probably don't have to buy a new camera though. Just use something else to organise the movies.

Do not import video from iPhon 4s in iPhoto 9.4.3 (720.91)

Do not import video from iPhon 4s(6.1.3(10B329)) in iPhoto 9.4.3 (720.91) on my iMac(iMac 27"_Intel Core i5 2,8 GHz_RAM 4 GB_HDD 3Tb_ATI Radeon HD 5750 1Gb_Mac Os 10.8.4)
"unreadable files.
Could not import because did not recognize the file format"

Presumably you mean 'Does not...'?
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?

Aperture 3 does not import video from iPhone

Aperture 3 does not want to import my videos from iPhone anymore. This used to work perfectly fine before, now Aperture hangs as soon as I try to upload any video.
Is this a known bug??

I'm experiencing the similar but Aperture not importing photos from iPhone. When I go to iPhoto and import then it works. My software is all latest.

IPhoto won't import photos from iPhone

Hi - using a MBP 2.2, Leopard, iLife 08 and an 8gb iPhone. iPhoto used to import photos from the iPhone no problem - now it won't import it at all. Says it's an unreadable file (though a normal jpg).
What gives? Same issue trying to import two jpg's rec'd via email (and dragged to my desktop).
Any suggestions?

I have this problem now. I have MacOS 10.5.1, iPhoto '08, and iPhone running 1.1.2.
In my "camera roll" on the iPhone are 260 photos, all the pics I have taken since I got the phone. I imported some of them weeks ago with no problems into iPhoto. But now iPhoto can't import anything from the iPhone.
iPhoto does know there are photos on the phone, because there is set of blank thumbnail squares that I can select to import. When I look at the photo info, I can see the file name, size, date, but all the other info is missing or incorrect. It doesn't have camera maker or model. Most worrying though is the height and width of the pictures are zero.
I am thinking that there is some cache file on the phone that got corrupted somehow. Resetting to factory settings might help, but I really don't want to lose all the photos that I took from the holidays.
I've tried the above suggestions and no avail: logged out and into the .Mac account; powered down the phone; reset the iSync history (interestingly, iSync does not recognize my phone when I do a device scan).
I did try removing some stuff to make room, but still no dice.

Importing movies from iPhone into iPhoto

Hi,
I hope someone can explain me the following:
- imported videos from my iphone into iphoto
- in the events the videos are shown BUT the picture shown for the video isn't from that video & when i open the video to play it shows the correct video (i know this as the events are organized per day and the picture shown for the movie is actually a picture from another event)
Anyone has an idea or did I do something wrong.
Thanks

Sounds more like you need to rebuild the thumbnails.
Back Up and then try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

IPhoto 9.2.1 not importing photos from iPhone 4S

When I plug in my 4S, or an alternate 4S, iphoto will recognize that there are photos that need to be imported, however when I click import all, it inicates that it cannot read any of the files, and does not import any of the photos or videos. I have also tried importing one photo at a time and got the same results. Any sugestions?

Prevent iPhoto 11 to import movies from NAS

Hi,
after a small update erlier this week (in Denmark), my iPhoto 11 suddenly import my movies from iTunes library, and other movies saved on my NAS, automatically and put them in "events".
It´s not the small homevideos/iPhone-movies from Photo Stream, but movies I bought from iTunes store and DVD-rip. iPhoto shows them in a very bad quality, and I really don´t need movies to "fill up" my iPhoto-library.
I also have my iPhoto library on my NAS.
Somebody knows how I can prevent this?
Best Regards

For starters yoou need to get the iPhoto library off of the NAS - you will continue to have strange problems until you do - the iPhoto library must be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (Journaled) - it is possible to put a properly formatted disk image on the NAS and use the iPhoto library from it but it is a bit of a pain - a local properly formatted drive is better
As to the errant import - not sure - I've not seen that reported and iPhoto does not automatically import anything - at best it opens when it sees a camera and you choose to import or not and can select what to import - my best guess is user error but no way to be sure without more information
I do not think that having the library on the wrong format drive would do that - but maybe - it does cause strange problems

IPhoto can't import screenshot from iPhone

I took a screen shot of a web page on my iPhone this afternoon. But when I tried to import it into iPhoto, instead of a thumbnail in the import screen, it just shows an outline of where the photo should be. And I Get this error message:
Unreadable Files: 1
The following files could not be imported. (The import failed.)
IMG_001.PNG
Any suggestions?

Can you copy the photo to the desktop first and then see if it will import? If it does then it's an iPHoto/iPhone issue and not a file issue.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IPhoto won't import videos from iPhone 6 Plus

I'm trying to import the videos from my iPhone 6 Plus into iPhoto (9.6.1). iPhoto acts like it's about to import but it gets to the end and says it can't import the videos from the iPhone because they are in an unrecognized format (.MOV)
I've never had an issue in the past, any suggestions on how to fix this?
I'm using a brand new iMac with Yosemite (10.10.2) and iPhone 6 Plus.
Thanks!

IPhoto froze while importing photos from iPhone to Mac, unable to stop import

My iPhoto on my Mac Book Pro (Retina, 13-inch, 2.4 GHz intel core i5, 8GM memory 1600 Mhz DDR3, in the OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1) froze while I was importing pictures from my iPhone 6. I am unable to 'Stop Import', as when I press to stop the import my Mac does not respond. There is a continuous loading sign next to my iPhone device. I am still able to use other features of my Mac and iPhoto, only the import page is not responsive.

apple menu ==> force quit

IMOVIE08 MPEG PROBLEMS, Not Importing movies from ilife

Hi
A friend shoots a movie for me We agree on an MPEG file. MPEG file loaded, IMOVIE08 started. Dragging media does not work. Also Importing movie via menu does not work. (MPEG file greyed in file dialog) But, Quicktime loads and shows it. With Quicktime I could maybe onvert it. IMOVIE07 loads it and shows it and you can work with it in IMOVIE07! So why not in IMOVIE08 which I bought for hard cash!
Using IPHOTO08 I made a movie out of still pictures with some music. Standard functionality in IPHOTO08 Wanted to edit the Audio. Cannot load the movie generated by IPHOTO08 into IMOVIE08. Hmmm.
However an movie generated from a KEYNOTE08 presentation does import into IMOVIE08.
Why is there no compatibility even between parts of the same package on this ?
Why with IMOVIE07 I could import almost anything and then IMOVIE08 is very sensitive to imports and imports almost nothing??
I find this really a serious flaw in IMOVIE08. And when I cannot use my old material what good is it?
Joost (mail me at joostb AT notthefly.com)

Welcome to the Discussion Forum
im6 would only edit limited formats but would import and convert various types of format to the type it could edit in.
By contrast im08 can edit more formats but no longer imports the formats that it can't edit, leaving you to convert the files to an appropriate format yourself before importing.
You can use many 3rd party applications to convert mpeg1/2 files, myself I use mpeg streamclip.
