Metadata doesnt populate Camera Model in iPhoto anymore

I have a smart album setup that collects all pictures taken with "Camera Model - is - Apple iPhone". I has worked up until the beginning of 2009. On January 1st, everytime my iphone imports pictures into iPhoto it doesnt have "Apple iPhone" as the camera model, it is just blank and i cant seem to find a way to edit the info back in. So now my Smart album doesnt update with new pics taken with my iphone, can anyone offer some assistance on how to make it keep the camera model upon import or show me how to edit that info so iPhoto will recognize it?

Iphoto was the same at the time, iPhone is the same...
If you look at the post jan 1st pictures that were imported from an iPhone and you click "Show extended Photo Info" from the "Photos" Menu the Camera model and make fields are empty.
If you look at the pre Jan 1st pictures that were imported from an iPhone and you click "Show extended Photo Info" from the "Photos" Menu the Camera model and make fields state "iPhone" , "Apple", which makes my smart album work.

Why does the iPhone 3GS not show as a camera model in iPhoto

I noticed on the extended photo info in iPhoto, the new iPhone 3GS doesnt have a camera model for photos taken with the iPhone 3GS.

No it does NOT. Pictures taken with my old iPhone do, but not the new 3GS.

How to Populate 'Camera Model' on iPhone print screens? (iphoto)

My name is Mike.
I love that iPhones (and iPods and iPads) can print screen using the sleep/wake button and the Home button.
I'm surprised I only just now noticed, but I can confirm... once the print screens are imported into iPhoto, their "Camera Type" is blank...
So my "iPhone" smart album, defined by "Camera Type = 'iPhone 4'" will show all the photos taken through the camera, but not the print screens.
This is not the end of the world, and is a benefit for sorting through the kids' pictures... it's nice to see that their print screens are not on the 'iPod Touch' smart album.
But I do want my print screens in my smart album.
So... how to update the "Camera Type" field so I can populate it to 'iPhone 4' (or 'iPod Touch')?
Thanks,
Mike

That would be an iPhone question not an iPhoto question - iPhoto does not create that information - the camera (iPhone or other IOS device in your case) does - iPhoto only reads and reports the information that the camera putsin the photo's EXIF or IPTC data fields
Ask in the appropriate forum
My guess is that since the image is not being created by the camera that what you want is not possible - but that is just a guess

I suggest using an EXIF metadata editor. This way you can edit the camera type + other pieces of info in the photo.
Here are a few I could find:
http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ The original and free, but does not have a graphical interface. (runs in terminal)
https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/exif-editor/id477514607?mt=12 One that looks easy and seems to have a nice user interface, but costs 9 dollars
http://www.photome.de/ Looks as easy as the one above, and is free, but is windows so would require some tampering or Parellels to run on a mac.
Hope this was what you were looking for!

IPhoto does not recognise the raw files(.NRW) from my new Nikon camera model P7100,any advice please as running latest version of iPhoto(9.2.1)

Since changing my little everyday camera to a new Nikon Coolpix P7100 iPhoto cannot import any of the raw files(.NRW),says it does not recognise them.
I have updated iPhoto to the latest version(9.2.1) but still cannot open them.
Any ideas please

The raw from the P7100 is not supported at this time.
The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Therefore the Raw for every camera model needs to be added individually. If yours is not supported then let them know you want it:

Changing camera model showing in the Dock on the iPhoto icon

Hi, something that has been bugging me for over a year, I at one time had a Canon G3 camera and this is what is showing in my dock area on top of the iPhoto icon. I now have a Nikon D70, it would be nice if I can get this in the place of the G3. How do I get this all in order?
Cheers, S.

Turn on your camera. If your camera needs to be set to a certain mode to transfer photos, do so now (check your camera manual if you're not sure how). The camera (or more precisely, its media card) appears on the Desktop as a mounted volume.
As I was using a card reader the iPhoto icon holds my old camera model, plugging my Nikon directly from the camera changes the iPhoto icon to the my Nikon model. Too easy.

How to change camera applied Metadata - Camera Model.

I have 1000's of imported scanned film images in my Aperture library. The camera model metatag reads Nikon Cool Scan (name of scanner I used). How can go in and edit this this tag to change to actual camera model used to take photo? I'd like to do a batch change of the metatag - but this one is not available to change. Any ideas?

A little application called PhotoInfo by Jim Merkel claims to edit such EXIF data, but I have not had success with it making changes stick for creation dates. I am in the same boat with scans, but don't want to record camera data in the scanned file (I find it helpful to know the device that produced the actual image). I want to change the creation date to the picture's creation, rather than the digital rendition of it.
Regardless, look into PhotoInfo and the batch change options it has.

What model iPod do you have? If yo have a 2G iPod. many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.

How / where can I learn the meaning of the numbers and letters associated with each camera model?

Also meaning of camera model names such as PowerShot, EOS, etc.
Thanks!

The Powershot series are all point & shoot cameras. The letter prefer in the model number is a class within the point & shoot category. The "G" series Powershots, for example, are advanced point & shoot bodies and somewhat high end considering they are point & shoot cameras (they're often the second camera that a DSLR owner will use they're going somewhere that a DSLR is either not permitted or simply not practical. I had to travel for a busines trip recently and I had room in my bag to throw my G1 X in... but not room for my larger DSLRs and large lenses.
The EOS bodies are all SLR or DSLR (SLR = single lens reflex camera and without that letter "D" on the front it implies it's a "film" camera. With the letter D it's a "digital" camera. Canon does not make a "film" SLR anymore -- so that's really a historical note to mention the "SLR" category.)
Within the EOS system, you could break the system into roughly three major groupings... entry, mid-level, and pro.
All "Rebel" series bodies are entry level. Note that "entry" level for a DSLR is still a world ahead of point & shoots -- so don't think of these as low-end cameras. In terms of model numbers, in North America, Canon uses a letter/number/suffix combination. Currently all Rebel bodies start with "T". The first was the T1i, then T2i, T3i (and T3 without the "i" suffix), T4i, T5i, (and T5 without the "i" suffix), T6i, and T6s. Higher numbers are more recent models (the T6i and T6s were just introduced a few weeks ago.) If there is no suffix then it's a more basic model. The "i" denotes the higher end of the entry range. But recently Canon introduced the T6s which is the highest end Rebel model and has some features previously only found in mid-level models.
The Rebels include "scene" based shoting modes commonly found on point & shoots in addition to the more advanced shooting modes which are (by far) the most popular among DSLR shooters. Part of the whole point of buying a DSLR is the incredible boost in image quality you get when you get a camera out of automatic mode, take control of the exposure settings, and use a larger lens and sensor.
The Canon mid-level EOS cameras all have 2 numbers followed by the "D" suffix. E.g. 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 60D, and 70D (currently only the 60D & 70D are still produced.) These bodies introduce features found on the pro-level bodies (like the 2nd LCD display on top, extra direct-setting buttons so you don't have to navigate menus, and a 2nd large control dial on the rear) but still retain the entry level features like the "scene" based sooting modes that beginners might use.
The high-level bodies have just one number digit, like 1D, 5D, 6D, and 7D. But when Canon needs to create a newer version they can't really increase that numberic digit... so instead they rev the model by calling it a "Mark II", "Mark III", "Mark IV". etc. So it's not really the "5D" these days... it's the 5D Mark III (or simply 5D III). The 1D is now the 1D X. The 7D is now the 7D II.
A few odd things happen in this category... first, all of these bodies with the exception of the 7D II get "full frame" sensors. This is a rather large image sensor which is the same size as a single frame of 35mm film. It measures roughly 36m wide by 24mm tall. The entry and mid-level cameras all have "APS-C" size sensors which measures approximately 22mm wide by about 15mm tall (which is very large compared to what a point & shoot camera would have, but not as big as these full-frame sensors.) When you look at images that have a tack-sharp subject... and yet a beautifully soft out-of-focus background... that requries a large sensor to produce that result. You can not get that result with a point & shoot or camera phone.
The 7D II still has an APS-C sensor, but it's the best APS-C sensor can makes today. That camera body is heavily optimized for fast-action photography (the 1D X is also optimized for very fast action shooting and outperforms the 7D II -- but the 1D X is Canon's "flagship" camera -- so no surprise there.)
The 6D also stands out as that was introduced to be an "entry level" "full-frame" body. Prior to the 6D, all entry level cameras were basically about $2500 or more (for the body only). This is a full-frame camera for about $1800 (body only price -- that does not include a lens.)
Incidentally... these pro level bodies finally drop the "scene" based shooting modes that beginner's might use. They almost might have particularly advanced focusing systems that might even be a bit intimidating for beginners (except for the 6D as that's a bit of an exception. It's actually considered an "entry level" full-frame camera.
With the exception of the 6D, I would shy away from recommending Canon's high-end bodies for beginners. I've found the focus system alone can be intimidating for people and you really do have to dedicate some time to learning the system. If you don't take the time to learn the system, then you're really wasting your money because these cameras are amazing IF (and only if) you take the time to learn what they can do that other cameras cannot do... and learn when, why, and how to exploit those advantages. It wont just happpen without some effort on the part of the photographer.)

I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library?

I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library? Can anyone help?

I have no idea what you did or what happened - but I can assure you that loading from a different camera does not create a new library
So you need to supply information and someone here will assist you in sorting this out and figuring out what you really did
What version of iPhoto do you have? What version of the OS? Why do you think that a second library has been created? What do you see when you launch iPhoto with the optipon kep depressed and use the select library option? Where is your iPhoto library normally?
Anything else you can tell us that might help?

I HAD MY MACBOOK MEMORY CLEARED AND CANNOT UPLOAD MY IPHOTO ANYMORE

I recently had my macbook memory cleared and reset to all default settings. I was advised to back up all my personal documents and data as everything will be cleared. However, due to some technical issue (and one of the reason for memory wipe) i had to manually backup important documents, which were my itune, iphoto, and uni assignments.
After i my macbook had been wiped and returned to default settigns i began to reinstalled the documents i had backed up on my external hard drive. However, when i came to open iphoto it was saying i had to download it from the app store?? when i looked on the app store it was asking for me to buy iphotos for over £10 !! i was not aware i would have to buy this feature as i never originally bought the feature when i first got my macbook. without downloading iphoto i cannot access my photos which was the main thing i wanted to save as these are personal memories of me and my children.
Can anyone help me with this issue as i do not feel i should buy iphoto just so i can recover my own photographs, i have already paid for the memory wipe as it was strongly advised by the technician, who also helped me back up my documents in the store (which took 4 hours). I am correct in thinking that iphoto originally came as standard on my macbook when i bought it in 2009 or will i be required to purchase this and download it again??

Your post says you have a late 2009 MacBook with OS X 10.6.8. With the MacBook, you received 2 gray-faced OS X disks, one with the system programs and one with application programs. The application program disk will have iPhoto on it, so you would re-install it from there. See this Apple note on how to reinstall iPhoto.

I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Elements, I keep getting the message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. I have tried reinstalling Camera Raw many times, and have tried to open many different raw files in Elements, and still get the same error message. Please help.

How did you try to install ACR 8.8. The only way I know of that works with Elements is to use the Updates Choice on the Help menu.
There are two charts supplied by Adobe that explain your RAW dilemma. This one tells you what your camera needs: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html This one tells you what version of software you need: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
In your case, the Nikon D810 needs Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.6 or Lightroom 5.6. (Congratulations on buying a new camera!)
To get to that level with Photoshop Elements, you will need to replace your Photoshop Elements 12 with version 13. Adobe caps ACR updates on version 12 at 8.5.
The most convenient way to get around it without spending any money is to use the FREE from Adobe DNG Converter. Download and install it from here for FREE: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5855&fileID=5890 Once it is installed you can convert your D810 raw files to an Adobe RAW version with the .DNG file extension that most, if not all, versions of the various Adobe software programs can use. That includes old versions of Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom. DNG converter can be used as the tool to move your files from your memory card to your computer, is efficient, will convert in batches and is completely lossless. There is no risk of any image quality degradation or RAW functionality.

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry,
Yes, the error message is exactly like that ("Database error: failured to persist version")
No photos will import at all. I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2.
About the difference? iPhoto and Photos . Are there two softwares?
I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto. It's call iPhoto library. At one point I turned off streaming.
Thanks again Larry HN.

i have a sony handy cam model HDR-HC1 and a mac pro running osx10.9.3, are they compatible? as far as downloading movies from my handy cam. thanks in advance. If not, is there a different route i can take to get those recordings in to my mac pro?

See if the cam shows up under Devices in the Image Capture app.
Image Capture is located in your Applications folder.
Launch Image Capture then connect the camera.
The camera should show up under Devices top left side of the Image Capture window.
Now look at the bottom left side of the window. Click the: Connecting this (device) opens: pop up menu and select an application to import your photos.
You can also select a folder to import photos from the Import To: pop up menu.
Selet the photos you want to import then click Import or Import All on the right.
