Lightroom 4.4 can no longer import photos from my iPod Touch 5

I've been importing photos from my iPod via USB without problems for over 6 months. In the last few days, importing from this device slowed down significantly. As of yesterday, the program freezes completely when I try to import (although it had worked earlier - albeit slowly - during that same session.)
I've tried:
Restarting the program, computer, and iPod.
Closing all other programs.
Removing all other external devices from the computer.
Uninstalling the computer's USB hubs and restarting.
Deleting all videos from the iPod's camera roll.
Reducing the size of the camera roll (down to 650 from about 800).
Nothing has worked.
I'm still able to import fine from other sources (an external hard drive & a memory card).
Weirdly, I plugged in my husband's iPod Touch - which until then had never been used in Lightroom - and it also froze at import, so it seems to be a problem with the type of device rather than the device itself.
I'm running Windows 8 64-bit with 3.3 GHz Intel processor and 6 GB RAM.

I too had a problem. iTunes wouldn't sync any photos nor list my iPhoto Albums.
I created a second iPhoto library and then added some photos and created several albums to see if iTunes could see the new iPhoto library. It did see the new library. I then started to add photos to it. I finally found the offending files - 4 .avi files - that for some reason when added to the library caused iTunes to balk. I removed the files and all is well. I even have other .avi files in the original library and iTunes responds normally - just those 4 caused the problem.

  • Why can't I import photos from my iPod Touch to iLife?

    I just tried to import photos from my iPod, and after selecting the photos I want, I pressed import selected and then I get a screen saying that they are unreadable files in an unrecognized format.  I have loaded hundreds of photos this way before and this is the first time i've had any trouble with it.
    Any ideas on what to do?
    Many thanks,
    Will

    A couple of people have mentioned an issue with this device. It appears that the OS is not storing the images in the standard way. Can you use another method to get the pics to your Mac? Bluetooth?

  • As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto. Never before had a problem. (it is the version prior to iPhoto 11--all Apple software is UTD)

    As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto '08. Never before had a problem.  I sent a request to Nikon for help and they referred me back to Apple.  Help, if possible, please.

    As the photos imported to the test library you know that it works with your version of iPhoto (so, you can skip the paranoia about Apple making you upgrade). The issue then is the Library, so
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Help! I can no longer import photos from iPhoto to Aperture 3 or iPhone

    Please help, I have a fully updated Aperture 3, iTunes 9 and iPhone 3G. I arrange my pic's in events in iPhoto and they are all accessible there, at my last iphone sync I noticed that my phone was deleting all my pictures of my iPhone, so I stopped the sync prematurely. Now when I try and import photo's, the event is listed but it states there are no pictures there.
    The only thing I can think that I did is "consolidate masters for library" in aperture. I kept photo's "in there current location". Is there anyway to reverse this so I can put my photo's back on my phone??
    Thanks!!

    I'm not sure about reversing the process you've described, but you can set up the equivalent structure (make albums in place of your iPhoto events) and use iTunes to synch your iPhone to Aperture instead of iPhoto. If you've decided to do your main work in Aperture this would perhaps be the best way forward.

  • I upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer import photos from my camera

    I have a Canon Eos Rebel SLR Digital Camera (Model DS6041).  It has always worked perfectly with iPhoto on my iMac running Maverick.  I upgraded to Yosemite yesterday and now when I plug the camera in...iPhoto opens...and it shows the camera listed in the pane on the left but in the upper right hand corner of the main photo window it just continually says "Loading".  I plugged it into my wife's Macbook Air which was also upgraded yesterday morning and it did the same thing.  In order to make sure it was a problem with Yosemite and not my camera...I plugged it into my dad's Macbook Air which HASN'T been upgraded.  It is still running Maverick.  His Macbook immediately recognized the photos and loaded them and was ready for me to import.  Does anyone know what is going on with the Yosemite upgrade and if it is being looked at?  Thank you.

    Have you guys tried this?...  It worked for me
    I called Canon and they said to change a setting on the camera and for me it worked.  They said to go to the settings menu and go to communication... on my camera there are two choices... Normal (PC) and PTP.  Mine was set to normal and always worked fine.  After the Yosemite update...it no longer worked.  Yesterday I changed it to PTP and the pictures popped right up.  Hopefully you have similar settings in your camera and can try this...

  • IPhoto will no longer import photos from any of my another cameras.

    iPhoto will no longer import photos from any of my another cameras after importing photos from my iTouch.

    Does the camera mount to the desktop so you can look to see what is there? Have you tried Image capture (in your applications folder) to import the photos? Have you tried unchecking hide previously imported to see what that shows? Do you have a USB card reader to try? When did you last reformat your memory card?
    If you can get the photo off the card using any method do so and tehn use yoru camera's format command to reformat the card

  • Can no longer sync Photos from Airport Disk

    I can no longer sync photos from my Airport Disk to my tv.
    This used to work fine- When I first got the tv I checked the "sync photos from" option in the photos tab in iTunes, navigated to my network drive/ pictures folder and hit sync. The photos slowly copied over.
    Just this week however, I went to add some new pictures and iTunes/ tv no longer sync. The status bar just spins saying "Syncing"...I have left it overnight with no change.
    I have recently updated to the latest version of iTunes and Airport Extreme firmware, but that is about it in terms of changes/updates. Anyone have any ideas?
    - Firewall is off
    - Permissions seem ok on the Airpot Disk. Everything is read/write
    - I have rebooted/ reset/ re-synced everything. It just hangs on Photos. Music etc go over fine.
    Specs:
    iMac G5 PowerPC
    Airport Extreme N base station with OWC USB drive attached as airDisk
    tv 1.0 40 gig - using ethernet connection to router
    iTunes 7.4.2
    I am really stumped! I think that the airport disk permissions or mount are still suspect but dont know what else to check.
    Does iTunes spit out a log or write to the console? Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    AC

    I think I have figured it out, and photos are syncing now.
    Here is what I believe happened: There is an iTunes generated folder called "iPod Photo Cache" in my "Pictures" folder on my Airpot Disk. This folder gets generated by iTunes whenever you designate a location for syncing. The "iPod Photo Cache" folder contains a file called "Photo Database".
    It looks like the "Photo Database" had been corrupted. Deleting this file, or alternatively, moving my pictures to a new folder and letting iTunes regenerate the Photo Database fixed the problem.

  • Can no longer sync photos to my iPod Photo

    Without any change in hardware, but AFTER installing iTunes 7 via Software Update, I can no longer sync photos to my iPod. (I have had no problems syncing music, pictures, contacts and calendars since purchasing an iMac G5 "iSight" 15 months ago.)
    Music appears to sync correctly, as do calendars and contacts. But after trying to sync photos, iTunes stops with the following message: "The iPod 'my iPod' could not be synced. The required file cannot be found."
    I have Restored my iPod and attempted to sync, but receive the same message.
    I REPLACED my iPod's hard drive! Upon syncing, I receive the same message.
    I deleted iPhoto Library/iPod photo cache folder and was then able to sync photos to iPod, BUT upon reopening iPhoto, and a forced reindex (?) of pictures resulted in about 1/3 missing.
    After restoring the iPhoto Library from a backup, syncing the iPod results in the same original error. Deselecting syncing photos in iTunes removes photos from iPod, but upon syncing, same error message.
    Restoring iPod again, results in same error message.
    Does anyone have a solution? What required file is missing?

  • TS1398 I can no longer transfer  photos from i photo on my mac to my i pad via iCloud. According to i photo the photos are on i cloud. There is plenty of storage space  available. This happened after installing a new wi fi printer

    I can no longer transfer photos from my mac to my i pad via i cloud
    Accordong to i photo on my mac the photos are in i cloud
    There is plenty of storage available
    Don't know if it is just a coincidence, but problem arose after installing a new wi fi printer

    There are apps such as Simple Transfer which allow you to transfer photos to/from your iPad and your computer via your wifi network - they will copy into the Camera Roll album in the Photos app on your iPad

  • Since installing OS X 10.7.5 and iPhoto 9.4, I can no longer export photos from iPhoto.  I get a message that iPhoto quit while using the HPPhotoExport plugin.

    Since installing OS X 10.7.5 and iPhoto 9.4, I can no longer export photos from iPhoto.  I get a message that "iPhoto quit unexpectedly while using the HPPhotoExport plugin."

    Trash the HPPHoto Export Plugin
    /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/*/HPPhotoExport
    Remember you have two Libraries:
    HD/Library and
    HD/Users/Your Name/ Library
    On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library
    It may be in either.

  • How can I transfer photos from my ipod touch to my computer

    How can I transfer photos from my iPod touch to my laptop.?

    What photos?
    Photos synced from computer to ipod are one way only  - computer to ipod.  As they came from your computer in the first place, they should still be there.

  • Why can't I add photos to my iPod Touch?

    Using iTunes 10.2.2
    iTunes Help instructions "Add photos to iPod, iPhone, and iPad" just downloaded.
    Instructions say "To also move the full-resolution versions of these photos to your iPod, select “Include full-resolution photos.”"
    There is no “Include full-resolution photos.” only an "Include videos"
    Instructions say to "Click Apply."  There is no "Apply."
    I check "Sync Photos From" and select the album I want to sync.
    I click on "Sync Photos From" and get the message:
    "iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPod “iPod touch”. Would you like iTunes to remove photos previously copied to your iPod?"
    Why don't the instruction match the iTunes screen?
