There are a couple of things you can do. One is to resize it during export from iPhoto to 320 x 240, a common size used for posting. Another is to use a video editor like VisualHub to reduce the size down to something more manageable. Possibly reducing the frame rate to 15 from 29 if it's at 29. Quicktime Pro can also resize movie files.
If you visit the iMovie or Quicktime forum you should find some more knowledgeable users in this area.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries 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.

I have imported a jpeg photo into iPhoto and cannot get the Places map to let me fix a position on the map. It remains disabled for my photo. Checking out the Help file has not given any solution.

I have imported a jpeg photo into iPhoto and cannot get the Places map tp show. I have tried the Help file and the information was not helpful. Can anyone give advice here?

I am using iPhoto 9.1.1. When I select thephoto, then Places I get the window (Places to lookup disabled). When I hit theInfo button I get the size an JPEG notification, and Faces and Key words. The “reverse” of thepicture shows a window with Rotate, Hide, Trash etc.
When I select Places, get the Google worldmap, and this case a pin on Sydney Australia showing that eighteen photos arecorrectly placed. I am unable to make the connection to San Francisco wherethis particular photo was taken on a very modern camera.

I have iMovie 8.0.6 and an iPhone 4S. I took hours of videos on vacation (Australia and New Zealand) and want to make a movie. I've imported the first batch into iMovie and started the project. I just realized that I shot both horizontally and vertical

I have iMovie 8.0.6 and an iPhone 4S. I took hours of videos on vacation (Australia and New Zealand) and want to make a movie. I've imported the first batch into iMovie and started the project. I just realized that I shot both horizontally and vertically and when I preview (on full-screen) what I've combined, first it's wide-screen, then it's tall, narrow with wide black sides.
The film looks choppy, no flow, since it alternates horizontally and vertically.
I can import the vertical clips two ways: "Full-Original Size", or "Large 960x540." But the vertical clips have very short, fat people.
This didn't happen with my Flip HD; the movies are smooth and terrific. My heart is breaking.....please, how can I make the videos match?

Yes, I'd like to use all the video I shot, put it together with music, titles, etc. and make it consistant. when it goes from full screen to this vertical, narrow clip, it's very awkward.....and it's so narrow, it's hard to see what I'm looking at; my eyes don't make the adjustment quickly.

Can't load photos into iphoto 6

Have many hundreds of small Sony Mavica cd-r discs that will not import into iphoto and cannot be read by Preview. Disc is read by external Qfire cdrw drive and files are displayed on desktop but each time I try to open a .jpg photo file it states:"Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt of a file format that Preview doesn't recognize." These discs work fine in a Sony Vaio but get the same results in both my new Imac and and older G5 with internal DVD drive. This same G5 connected to the Qfire drive operating on OS9.4 worked fine until I updated it to OS X 10. Any ideas as to why the discs won't open on the new IMac w/ OS X 10.4.9?

Massbody:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As I remember from posts a while ago those discs and formats are not compatible with the Mac. Do a search fror Sony Mavica here in the Mac forums and see what you find. I don't remember if any solution was found or discussed.

Ive downloaded my photos into iphoto and cannot find them. I inadvertantly deleted photos from my camera. Any chance to recover or find them?

Ive downloaded my photos into iphoto from my Canon G10 and cannot find them. I inadvertantly deleted photos from my camera. Any chance to recover or find them?

Do they show in "last import" or in photos view?
You give us nothing to go on so we can only make really wild guesses
you may be able to recover them on the camera card using software like media recover

Problem Loading Photos into iPhoto

I recently started downloading my pictures from my digital camera into iPhoto 5. I don't like deleting the pictures from my memory card because I print them from my card and also download them to other computers. Every time I plug in my camera it goes through every single picture. Every time I tell it not to download duplicates and to apply this to every picture, but it takes a lot of time to go through the hundreds of pictures on my card before it gets to the 3 at the end that I want to download. Also, I don't want some of the pictures on my mac and delete them from iPhoto (because I don't know how to prevent it from downloading them in the first place), but the next time I plug in my camera it downloads them all over again! Are there ways to bypass these problems? Thanks!
By the way- my camera is the Canon Powershot A75

hi newmacusers,
I download my photos with Image Capture (you can choose which images to download).
I then put them in a dated folder and import that folder into iPhoto. I keep all my dated folders of images till I have enough to burn them to DVD as a backup of just my images.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

Cannot re-load photos into iPhoto after moving to external

HELP!
I have over 3,000 photos and had to move them to an external drive as my computer ran out of space. Now that I have moved everything, I am having a hard time accessing my photos in iPhoto.
Anytime I try to import I receive the following message:
'Unreadable file: The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type of the files may bot contain valid data)
Please tell me this can be fixed!!!

Hi todd,
Do you want to keep your library on the external as the library that iPhoto uses and imports into?
If you do, then just launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and choose to open another library. Navigate to the library on the external and choose it.
Now this is the library iPhoto uses. Is this something that you want to do?
When you launch iPhoto holding down the Option key this is the window you will get.
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library if that is what you want to do, or choose a library to open by clicking the "choose" button.
If you click the "create library" iPhoto will open with a brand new library for you to import images to. If you click "choose" then you will get this window.
Open library
Navigate to where the library is on your computer and then choose it.

I deleted all my photos on iphoto and want to restore them back

I deleted all my photos on iphoto library and then i deleted it in trash too and now I want to retrieve all those photos back! Is it possible?

Well that's a lesson learned.
File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

Importing and Organizing Thousands of Photos into IPhoto

How can I import about 20 thousands photo into IPhotos and keep the logical organization?
I just buy a Mac Mini and I start trying to move my photos. These are organized in directories by dates with a customize description for the occasion ( …/YEAR/YEAR-MONTH-DAY + DESCRIPTION/)
I tried with few directories and I realized that in order to use IPhoto and keep the logical organization I will have to create and name about 500 albums manually and look for the photos for every album again one by one.
It sounds hard because the number of albums and photos.

There is a 3rd party application, iPhotoTool, that will let you select the top folder containing many subfolders and import all of them into iPhoto and create an album of each sub folder. That will save you a lot of manual work. Then all you need to do is create folders in the Source pane to organize your albums. Be sure to not allow duplicates each time it asks or you'll get duplicates in many of the folders. You'll be asked for each subfolder above the lowest but that's lot easier than manually finding and dragging each folder into iPhoto's Source pane.

I saved photo into iPhoto slideshow, but now I can't find it. I wanted to open it in iPhoto so I could edit the photo and make it lighter. How can I find the photos I saved into iPhoto slideshow?

I need advise about saving photos into iPhoto. When I chose to save a photo, I chose it to be saved into iPhoto slideshow because that's the only choice I had that mentioned iPhoto. Now I can't find the photo in iPhoto. What did I do wrong?

Post in the iPhoto forum where those experts are.

How can you take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in.

As the title says I need help on how to take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in. Right now when I want to move a picture from one event to another I drag it to my desktop then delete it from iPhoto then I drag it back into iPhoto and put where I want it.An example would be taking a photo from the Christmas event and add it to a specific person event. Can I do that within the events section without all the dragging. Also is there anyway I can remove duplicates from iPhoto without going through each and every file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apple doesn't make it easy to do what you want. However, here's how I do it.
Select the photo you want to move and create a new Event for it via the Event ➙ Create Event menu option.
In the Event mode select the new Event with the one picture and drag it onto the Event you want to move the photo to.

I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages? How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this? Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

You can make the collages easily if you have iWork. Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary. Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto. From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround.
If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

Whenever I try to upload photos into iPhoto, they load but when importing it just stops a picyure or two into it and then just sits there. I can't stop the import so I have to shut off my camera when it is importing and start again. Help?

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Tru importing from your camera to it and to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

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.
