Help with importing photos - IPhoto assigning file names that already exist

When I import photos from my canon powershot camera, IPhoto has begun assigning file names that are the same as filenames that already exist on photos imported previously. It appears it is deleting those older files (when I go look in my photo library, the older one with the same name is now gone).
I don't know how to name photos as they are imported as it seems to be done automatically and I'm afraid to import more photos and loose my old pics. Can't find anything on the internet when I search on this question - can anyone help?

Thanks so much for your quick reply, TD.
What happens when I plug in my camera is that Iphoto opens, asks me if I want to import photos (and if I want to delete originals), and I click okay or whatever and they are imported. I name the roll/folder, and I photo puts them in the library in that folder in that year.
It makes sense that the camera is numbering them. I think that the ones it is using the same numbers for (ie - IMG0080.jpg) are the numbers on older photos that were assigned by a different camera that we used to have.
So I guess the canon isn't searching on all photo names that have been used, just the ones that it has used in the past.
Unfortunately, when the new photo is named with the same name as an old one, that old one is literally deleted - at least as far as I can tell - and when I go look for it in my photo library, it is no longer there.
I might try to see if there are any help forums for the canon powershot and see what I might learn there.
THanks so much for your help!

When exporting journal from iphoto to pc, how do I maintain the file names?

I first imported a bunch of files from my PC to iphoto on the iPad. I then used iPhoto to create journals. Then, I 'Shared' the folder to 'iTunes', which I could then recieve from my iTunes on my pc from the 'File Sharing' section. However, when I save the files to the desktop, the filenames have all changed. I need to maintain the file names of the photos that I originally had before transfering them to iPhoto on the iPad. How do I do this?

Need help for theRequirment:File2File Transfer by validating two file names

Dear All,
Kindly help me for the below requirement.
Requirement:
PI should pick two files from the FTP folder and will drop it to another FTP folder with out any mapping just pass through.these two files are having different Extensions(EX: .XML and .TXT) and its related to one another(two files data are related) so PI only transfer if both files are present else if there is only one file PI should not transfer the files.
Note:File names are same for both the files with different extension(Ex: ABC_<timestamp>.XML and ABC_<timestamp>.TXT)
thanks and Regards,
Manikandan

Hi Manikandan,
One more option to do this without BPM:
Try using the additional files option in the Sender File Channel.
If source File name is MyFile.xml
In additional files
File List: MyFile.txt
Parameters:
MyFile.txt.namePart - ".xml"=".txt"
MyFile.txt.optional - NO
MyFile.txt.type - text/plain
By having this setting done. The files will be picked only when both the files are placed and when both of them have the file names as "MyFile"
Regards,
Aravind

Mac OS 10.9.3 - password needed to change files names and location

Hi IPires,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are experiencing issues with permissions. I would suggest reading over the attached article to help you troubleshoot and resolve the permissions on your computer.

Hello, bought a used Mac and I'd like to change the home file name from the previous owner having someone elses name on the home icon is driving me nuts thanks!

Hello - new to mac - bought a used Mac OS X 10.6.8 - I'm set up as admin yet can't seem to remove or edit the home file (john's computer with the home icon). Anyone know how to do this?

Before following these steps, you may wish to back up your important data.
For Mac OS X v10.5 or later
Enable the root user.
Log in as root.
Navigate to the /Users folder.
Select the Home folder with the short name you want to change, and rename it just like you would rename any folder. Keep in mind that the shortname must be all lowercase, with no spaces, and only contain letters.
Use the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier) in System Preferences to create a new user with the Account name or Short Name that you used in the previous step.
Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents.
Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
Log in as the newly created user. You should be able to access all of your original files (on the desktop, in Documents, and in the other folders of this Home).
After verifying that your data is as expected, you can delete the original user account via the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier).
Disable the root user

File names changed when imported into iphoto

I scanned thousands of photos and slides. I named them numerically with year and order it was taken (example for 102nd photo taken in 1984 is 84.102.jpg) I used Photoshop's file info to add a description on maybe 20% of the photos. Unfortunately, when I imported into iphoto, iphoto uses this information for the photo's file name. Is there a way to import photos into iphoto where it uses only the original files name and not embedded file info?

The ones that (on the originals) I entered descriptive things into Photoshop's XMP file info's document title line -- well that is what is shown as the name of the file rather than its real numerical name. Example: on a photo saved as 92
iPhoto uses the Exif and IPTC metadata for the photo information. When you typed "Big Snowstorm" in there you put it in the Title field. iPhoto is showing you the Title of the photo. It only shows you the Filename if there is no entry in the Title field. Had you put it in the Caption field you would not have this problem.
Try remove the title, see if that works.
Another commend: This format of filename
92.133.jpg
Is potentially very dangerous. Computers use the period to distinguish the filename from the suffix that tells your machine what the type of file it is. Currently, you're telling your machine that this is file 92, of the type 133 and also the type jpeg. Characters such as periods, slashes, dashes should eb avoided in filenames. Sooner or later your file naming convention is going to cause you problems.

I just bought a new Mac and I want to transfer some data (not all) from my old Mac. Basically, I want to move my itunes library, iphoto library, and a few documents. I have not even turned on my new Mac yet. Is the best way by an external hard drive?

If both have Firewire ports then you can accomplish your goal by using Target Disk Mode. If this is not possible then you can do using an external drive or if you have a local network connect both to your network and use filesharing between the two computers.

Can I sync both photos that are stored in a mac folder and my iphoto photos at the same time?
I don't want my work photos imported to the iphoto library but I'd like to have them on my ipad.
Thank you

iTunes is set up to sync photos from one source at a time.

I have a photo on iPhoto that will not transfer to my iPhone. the picture is on a albumn in iPhoto on my mac and when I sync my iPhone it transfers all except that one picture?????

I have a photo on iPhoto that will not transfer to my iPhone when it is synced???? Is there something wrong with the photo? the rest of the pictures in the albumn transfer just fine.

We have no way of telling from the information you give.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Photos app vs. iPhoto App IOS

On my iPhone and iPad/iPad mini, I have both "Photos" app (a kind of pink/orange starburst icon) and iPhoto for IOS. I have two questions a search didn't turn up answers for:
1) Do I need both these apps? They both display my photos in similar ways (photos/albums). I think Photos came with my devices and I think I downloaded iPhoto from the App Store.
2) Are they drawing on the same database of photos (presumably my Mac iPhotos and PhotoStream in iCloud) meaning the photos are not taking up doublespace?
I'd like a little space back on my devices and deleting one of these apps (if they aren't "sharing" photos) is a good way I think. I use Instagram to edit IOS photots - not either of these apps.
Thanks in advance!

The short answer:
Yes, you need both apps - or may want to have both.
And both are showing you the same photos, but in different ways, and they are just offering differnet views, the photos will not be duplicated.
See the iPhoto Help: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnka7d353af
All of the photos and video clips in the Photos app on your device automatically appear in iPhoto. You can also import photos into iPhoto from other devices and computers, other apps on the same device, or a digital camera (if you're using iPad)
iPhoto is showing you all photos stored on your iPhone in one place, and you can organize and edit the photos in a more elaborate way than with the Photos app by adding tags and brushing in effects. You can craete Journals andphoto books, and publish slideshows, and share photos to iTunes.
The Photos.app mamages the Camera Roll and is the central sharing place between differnet apps on your iPhone. Also, the Photos.app is the only app that can delete from the Camera roll.
You cannot delete the Photos.app - it comes with with the system software on your iPhoto. You could delete iPhoto, but the app does not need much space. Transfer your photos to your computer and delete the photos that you do not like.

IOS iPhoto dslr size reduction issue

I have transferred full size photos from nikon dslr to ipad both through itunes synch (I think this process "optimizes" the photos and reduces their size) and also through various apps that transfer full resolution photos wirelessly from pc to ipad. I have not purchased the camera connection kit because I think this issue may still exist.
Issue: Following transfer of full size photos (for example a 4928 x 3264 6.20 mb 16.1 mp), when it is opened in iOS iPhoto, the size is 3.1, but pixel number remains the same.
I'm not shooting RAW, these are jpegs. Why the loss???
What causes the huge drop in photo size, but apparently keeping the same number of pixels. It makes no sense.
Thanks in advance.
iPad 2, iOS 6.1.3

I'm not certain whether the information regarding My Photo Stream is applicable. According to the iPhoto for iOS app, the pixel count remains the same. I'd like to be able to edit full size photos in the iPhoto app on iOS.
It may be that OPENING the file in iPhoto for iOS converts the photos to the smaller size. This would make sense because in iPhoto for iOS, the edited file is not saved/viewable in the camera roll until it is exported there. So, I'm "guessing" this is what is going on (I'm assuming the sizes, etc from my opening post):
1)     On transfer to the iPad, a full size photo is placed in the camera roll;
2)     When the photo is opened in iPhoto for editing, it is compressed somehow to half-size (I don't know what this would actually be called), but the full-size photo remains saved on the camera roll;
3)     Photo that is edited in iPhoto is the half size (compressed, converted, modified...whatever you may call it);
4)     When the edited photo is exported to the Camera Roll, a new file is created in the Camera Roll to reflect the half-size photo.
So, looking back to my original question, can one edit full-size photos in iPhoto for iOS, I'm been unable to find a what to do it. It seems that iPhoto for iOS is arbitrarily cutting all photos in half....regardless of their original size. Very strange.
I agree, this is truly an orgonizational nightmare, but I'd just like a way to edit original photos on the iPad (away from home), then been able to transfer those full-size edited photos back to my computer when I return.
It appears impossible...
I'd be willing to try a different photo editing app, but I've been unable to find one as comprehensive on the iPad.

Why do videos show up in photos and why can't i export them from iPhoto for iOS

Somehow, I just don't get it:
If I take a picture on my iPhone 5s, it is saved to 'Pictues' ... sound reasonable.
If I take a video on the same device, it is saved to 'Pictures' ... that's where it gets messy.
If I receive a video on an app like e.g. WhatsApp ... it also get's stored in ... guess what ... 'Pictures'!
Now that's a little bit confusing.
Generally I would like to keep these different types of media (still pictures vs. moving images) in separate spaces, but it seems like that is not possible out of the box, because if go ahead and tab on that share-button in iOS 7 i get prompted to share the videos to various installed apps like e.g. YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter - you name it.
It seems like there is no way to export videos from 'Pictures' to 'Videos', even if you use iPhoto for iOS in the gap.
The only ways (that I found) to get what I want are way to circumstantial:
Either use iPhoto for the Mac to import videos from the iCloud Photostream to the Mac and from there via "Show in Finder" re-import to iTunes' 'Videos'
or use iExplorer (a third party application for the Mac) and export the videos from the iPhone to a temp-folder and from there re-import with iTunes to 'Videos'.
Why isn't there just a simple share-sheet or export label called 'Export to Videos'.
Why doesn't it just work?
Am I missing out on something?
Is there an easier way to complete this relatively simple task?
Hints and support are very much appreciated!
Kind regards,
Chris

Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
APPLE. What are you doing?

Transfered photos from IMac with Iphoto 9 to a mac book with Iphoto 11 now Iphoto 09 errors out saying "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto."

Transfered photos from IMac with Iphoto 9 to a mac book with Iphoto 11 now Iphoto 09 errors out saying "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto." We have not updated or changed anything on the IMac all we did is transfer photos. Any help would be appreciated.

LarryHN is correct. The only way this message occurs is if the iPhoto Library database is upgraded to a newer version.
You could try holding SHIFT-OPT-COMMAND when launching iPhoto from the dock and checking only "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" and hope it restores the previous database prior to the upgrade.
If that doesn't work, you can install iPhoto '11 on your iPhoto '09 computer. If I understood the iPhoto '11 Mac App License agreeement correctly, you can install it on any personal, non-commerical computer you own running 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7.
