Latest roll import on hd, not in iphoto

I'm just updating to iPhoto 06 and doing my first imports. So far, I'm not impressed with any of it.
I just imported a new roll of 120 pictures...which turned out to have about 60 dupes. I waited while iPhoto imported all my duplicates (ugh, who killed the "skip dupes?" feature?). After the process completed, I realized that what I saw on screen was the last roll (the dupes) and I couldn't see the new roll and new unique photos.
All of the 120 photos are on my hard disk, in a folder with the roll name I specified during the import process, but, I can't get them to show up in the iPhoto app. I've tried searching the iPhoto library by the name of my new roll, name of a unique image, or sorting the view by date--and nothing.
How can I get my photos to show up in the iPhoto interface? Unfortunately, I deleted them off of my camera before checking to make sure all was well or I'd import again.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Exactly .
Just for future reference: The "Import" and "Import Selected" buttons are behaving differently from other settings and do not change import settings, they will start the import immediately. That is why you have to have selected the images and have set all settings before you hit one these buttons.

I imported a ton of photos from my iPhone into iPhoto and after deleting off phone they're not in iPhoto.... HELP PLEASE!

I have an iphone 5S, using version 7.0.4. I had a TON of photos on my camera roll which was taking up space so this evening I synced and chose to import all 600 photos into iphoto (version 9.5.1). It took a while to import all the photos as expected and seemed to be slowing counting down during the import. At the end it told me all the photos had been sucessfully imported, showed thumbnails (or similar) on a roll of them all and asked if I wanted to delete the photos from my iphone. As I was doing this due to a space issue I of course said yes. The annoying thing is that before choosing to delete I clicked on a random photo to import it just to check it was infact already imported. I had the message box telling me it had been imported and did I want a duplicate, apply to all duplicates etc. So I thought it safe to delete off my phone.
Once they were deleted, I now can't find them ANYWHERE on my iphoto. Please someone help me, surely they are somewhere? I really hope so, i have some precious photos special once in a lifetime events with my children. Grateful for any help!

It should. So they aren't shown in the Last Import smart album, right? Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

Use File/Import/Movie and navigate to the file.

Can I import to iWeb photos that are not in iPhoto?

I do not use iPhoto, but I'm building a photography website with iWeb. the only available file on the Photos media tab in iWeb is to iPhoto. Do I have to put all my wanted photos into iPhoto before i can import them to a web page in iWeb? Is there another way to get photos in from other non-iPhoto folders?
Any problems with doing this?

Yes, you can. If you're creating a Photo page in iWeb just drag the photos into the photo section from wherever on the HD. In fact if you bring up the Media browser in iWeb you can drag any folder you want into the Media Browser's window just below the iPhoto icon and then drag from there into the photo page.

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Imported photos are not appearing in iPhoto...

Beginning in late August, all of my newly imported photos are not showing up in iPhoto. However, I see them within the iPhoto directory. Everything imported prior to late August is just as it should be. Does anyone know the cause of this and how to fix it? Thanks!

Damaged database.
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. .

Importing from SD card to iPhoto - not all images recognized

Hi, I'd be really grateful for some help...
I've got a Panasonic Lumix LX1 camera, with a 2GB SD card. When I play back the pictures on the card through the camera, there are 655 images. But when I've tried to import these images to iPhoto 6, the computer only recognizes 344 of these images.
In my attempts to import, I've tried using both the camera itself, and a cardreader, to read the disk; and I've tried both importing the pictures directly into iPhoto, and also copying them across from the hard drive created by the camera/cardreader into a folder on my desktop. No joy. It will only let me have the 344.
Can anyone shed some light on how I might be able to unlock and import the 311 unrecognized images into iPhoto?
Many thanks!

RCMA:
Are there any movie files on the card? They can cause the import to stop. Launch Image Capture, located in the Applications folder, and then connect the camera. Now you'll be able to manually upload the files you want to a folder on the desktop and then import into iPhoto from there. While you're viewing in Image Capture see if you can determine which is #345, the one that stops the import.
IMO it's better to manually upload to a folder on the Desktop and then into iPhoto to avoid issues that may occur with low battery stoppage, etc. that might corrupt the library. Also I recommend you do not let iPhoto delete the photos after the upload as there are too many reports of incomplete uploads (like yours) and complete erasures.

I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to? If you do then bring it in and then use iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows: make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
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
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library. But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB. That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash. You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

Where can I find videos imported from iPhone to MacBook Air. not in iPhotos which is ridiculously complex and has no logic in how it stores photos

Importing images not in iPhoto.

While I do use iPhoto somewhat, I don't use it for everything.
I would like to import some images into Pages that are not in iPhoto, but I do not see a way to do it.
Is there a way?

You can also use Expose to find your image in the finder and then drag/drop to the appropriate spot in your Pages document.
I find f11 the easiest if you have not located it. Press f11, browse through to where it is click and hold down the mouse button to keep your image selected, press f9 to bring up all open windows and once your mouse is on the Pages document window pressing f9 again will return you to your document.
If you have not let go of the mouse button during that procedure your image will be inserted in the document. Through the magic of Image Placeholders in most templates placing your image over another image should replace that image, scaled so your image fits.
It sounds complicated, but expose is something you will find yourself always using once you start.

I have photos in a DVD. In order to visualize them in iPhoto, must I necessarily import them? Can't I see the pictures from the media without importing? If not, is there any application with this functionality? I dont't like pre-visualization for photos.

I have photos in a DVD. In order to visualize them in iPhoto, must I necessarily import them? Can't I see the pictures from the media without importing? If not, is there any application with this functionality? I need an app that allows me to navigate through the photos without selecting all of them. I realy dont't like pre-visualization for photos...

In order to visualize them in iPhoto, must I necessarily import them?
iPhoto is a Database. Before it can work with any data it must be imported to the database, so yes it is necessry to import them.
Can't I see the pictures from the media without importing?
See above.
If not, is there any application with this functionality?
Hundreds. Any image viewer will do the job. On your Mac the Finder has QuickLook and there is the Preview app as well. Online you can download any of these:

Aperture not seeing iPhoto Libraries on external drive when trying to do a REFERENCED import.

I am trying to bring all my iPhoto libraries (one for each year) together into one REFERENCED Aperture library. I have the iPhoto libraries on an external hard drive and want the Aperture Library on my main drive. Whe I go to the Import window I do see my external hard drive on the list of drives, but the files do not show up. It shows folders and any readable files in the folders, but not the iPhoto Libraries, which are not in any folders. I am running out of space on my hard drive, so want to do a referenced import, not a managed one, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have tried doing the copy drag and drop method (holding command+option and dragging and dropping from finder to Aperture, but it still copies the whole library to the main drive, it does not reference it). Help, please!

Whe I go to the Import window I do see my external hard drive on the list of drives, but the files do not show up.
Aperture will not show you files in libraries in the import panel. iPhoto libraries are not imported using the import panel. Importing the files using the import panel would result in importing a mess of thumbnails, previews, and originals, and you would lose your organisation in events and albums and probably most of your metadata tags.
You import iPhoto Libraries as library:
File > Import > Library
If the library you are importing is referenced, it will be imported referenced, if it is managed, the images will be imported managed. You can relocate the managed originals to your external volume directly after import using the command "File > Relocate originals"

Unable to Import to IPhoto-Import to Library not showing up

I am unable to Import my photo's to IPhoto. I've done it before but now when I am in Adobe Photo Shop CS5 or trying to Import directly from the Finder (Preview) the Import to Library no longer is showing up. I've shut down Adobe CS5, Lightroom and can't figure out why I still can't access it..Any help would be appreciated!

Are you sure you've set up Home Sharing and not vanilla Sharing which is different?

Import crashed - files not viewable in iPhoto but on Mac (not importable)

Importing 220 photos from Kodak camera via printer/dock 6000. With 6 left to go it crashed. The photos ARE in a folder in iPhoto directory but do not appear in iPhoto. I tried importing from those folders but get message that they 'could not be imported (they may be an unrecognizable file type or may not contain valid data)". They are no longer on the camera so I can't re download them.

That message is what you get if you try to import files that are already inside the iPhoto library; iPhoto won't do that. If the photos are there in iPhoto library/Originals, you can drag them to your desktop from the Finder. Be careful not to change anything else in Finder, since this is the most common cause of trouble with iPhoto. See if they open in Preview. If so, then within the iPhoto app you can Import them into iPhoto from the desktop.
By the way, it's a good idea to not let iPhoto delete files from your camera, since this is an often reported problem. Better to let your camera reformat the card, both for safer uploading and for better camera card performance (so I've read).

IPhoto thinks it is importing photos, will not let me quit.

I have a macbook pro (4 years old, running iOS.10.9.5)
I am scanning pages into iPhoto (9.5.1). Something went wrong during my last import. iPhoto thinks it is still importing, but there are no pictures to be imported. I disconnected the scanner. I can not quit iPhoto, work in iPhoto, or restart the computer. I am getting the error message "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete."
