No longer able to import photos

Hello- I am using a Canon EOS Rebel XT, with a newer iMac. I was able to work with Lightroom 3 with OSX Leopard. I recently upgraded to OSX Lion, and now I am unable to import any photos from my camera. The import function just hangs and stalls. I've even upgraded to Lightroom 4.1. I am stumped and I do not know what to do next, save for downgrading back to Leopard or Snow leopard.

Sorry everyone. I just realised that photos are discussed in a the iPod forum and this topic is being covered there. So please ignore this post.

  • No longer able to import photos onto my iPod Video 80GB

    Hi all
    I have had my iPod Video 80gb for about 2 months and at first enjoyed viewing my photos on it. The day that V7.3 was released & I upgraded I experienced several problems, some of which are already well documented on this forum. One problem that nobody else seems to have mentioned, is that I can now no longer import any of my photos onto my iPod. I receive the message...
    “Some of your photos including filename.jpg were not copied to the iPod Caraline’s iPod because they cannot be displayed on your iPod.
    As absolutely nothing had changed on either my iPod or my computer (other than iTunes version) I presumed this problem was tied up the new version. As I was having other problems with this version I decided to uninstall and re-install V7.2. However the problem persists. I even tried deleting everything from my iPod and every iTunes file, folder & cache and starting from scratch again with V7.2. I have also re-set my iPod back to the factory settings.
    It does not seem to matter what the source of the original photos was, either from camera, or scanned, nor does it matter the size. I have spent hours experimenting, and absolutely nothing I do seems to solve this problem.
    I am totally stumped as to why photos that I once could copy onto my iPod now are deemed undisplayable. I feel terribly disappointed as my iPod now seems crippled and does not perform a function that was a main consideration in buying one in the first place.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • No longer able to delete photos

    To make it easier to access the iPhoto library from multiple users on our computer, I moved the iPhoto Library to /Users/Shared/Pictures and set up permissions so that only the owner has write permission and other users are read-only (we had to do this to sync photos to multiple iPods; sharing via network doesn't allow this). However, despite the library and all subdirectories and files being owned by the user with write permission (and read permission, and execute permission for directories), that user is no longer able to delete photos in iPhoto. Whenever that user tried to delete a photo, iPhoto just beeps.
    This seems strange. Why should the library directory location matter? All that should matter is file permissions, and that user has "rw" for ordinary files and "rwx" for directories. So, what's causing this trouble?

    As Terence mentioned the Shared folder just doesn't work anymore. Here's Apple's document on sharing a library between multiple users: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users. The disk image method does work and you can set it up in everyone's account preferences to automatically mount then they log in. It would act just like an external HD. You would have to make sure to size it to accommodate growth in the library for some time to come.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • I am not able to import photos into Lightroom 5.7.  When I select a folder, it doesn't show a preview of the images and the import button is greyed out. ??

    I have been using Lightroom 5 for 2-3 months now and all worked well, up until today's effort to import a new set of photos. I am working on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1.

    Go to the bibliothec module, select the folder, right click on the folder and hit synchronize
    Sorry I have only a german version , so don't know what your menu will show.

  • I'm no longer able to copy photos from email to my iPad photo stream.  The Save menu doesn't come up like it did before.  When I press on the image, I only get the option to Copy, and I can't paste it into my photo stream.

    Hi beerexpert,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPad. If you are having unusual menu or option behaviour, you may want to try restarting/resetting your device, as outlined below:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    You may also want to double-check that you have available space, as noted here:
    See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

  • I am no longer able to upload photos from iphoto to Facebook. The "publish" button is now "grayed out."  Any suggestions?

    I am no longer able to upload photos from iphoto to Facebook. The "publish" button is now "grayed out."  Any suggestions?

    The window doesn't automatically pop up now. When you plug the card reader in, you should see a 4th option on the lower bar of the photos app. I think it says camera. Tap on that then you can see and inport your photos.
    If you are still having issues, try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. It won't hurt any data but can clear gliches.

  • No longer able to scan photos from my PS3650 (Pacific Image) using PSE 10.0.

    Configuration:
    PC: Dell Inspiron 15R (new)
    Photo Scanner: Pacific Image PS3650
    OS: Windows 8.1
    Photo SW: Photoshop Elements 10.0, PSE10.0
    Scanner SW: Cyberview X5, CV-X5 (an upgrade to the original Cyberview X)
    Beverage: Don Julio 1942 Tequila.
    The error I get is:
    "Cyberview X-MS
    The software for this device can not be launched.  The device is not connected or is busy."
    It is neither.  I am able to operate the scanner using the CV-X5 software directly but not through the  PSE10.0 application.  Is this a TWAIN or WIA issue?
    I have loaded and reloaded both PSE10.0 and CV-X5 multiple times in accordance with the scanner user manual.  I have also attempted to use the original CV-X software with similar results.
    It may be worth noting that this setup using XP and CV-X used to work on my old PC. However, that configuration is no longer available and I would like to be able to use my updated PC with my existing scanning system.
    Regards
    Doug Hopper

    You assume too much. I am not mucking around with the iPhoto Library.
    Here is an example of my problem:
    Open Address Book
    Select a Contact
    Click Edit
    Double Click the Photo icon
    A dialog appears for me to "Choose" a photo
    Click Choose...
    Another dialog appears for me to browse to the photo that I would like to attach to that conract
    I select my username under "Favorites", then expand the "Pictures" folder
    When I click on iPhoto Library, I am no longer able to expand it and presented with the photos, events, faces, albums within it, but only get an icon for the iPhoto Library instead.
    This is part of the way a Mac works, and is now broken. It exhibits this in Address Book and any other program, and it was working fine until I installed PSE 10.

  • IPhoto takes long time to import Photos and Videos

    From a software standpoint why iPhoto sometimes takes so long to import Pictures and Videos?
    Example Scenario:
    on the iPhone 5 - iOS 7 there are:
    2851 Photos in Camera Roll
    1000 Photos in Photo Stream
    51 Videos (each videos average of 3 minutes long)
    on the MAC - OS X 10.9
    iPhoto start to import photo, and more or less, after importing almost 500 photos, just get stop at one particular photo and thats it.
    What are the reason?
    Thank you

    Thank you leonie,
    so my question is why a photo became corrupted in the iPhone?
    Step 1
    Take a Photo
    Step 2
    The taken photo goes into Cameral Roll
    What are the reason that became corrupted?
    Thanks

  • Taking a long time to import photo(graph)s especially only for new ones...

    Hello.
    iPhoto '11 takes a long time to import from a Sony digital camera has thousands of photo(graphs). Most of them were already imported, but why does it need to rescan all of them to import the new ones (e.g., 250 of them)? Is the only way to skip is to remove these old ones from the digital camera's memory?
    Thank you in advance.

    Or use several smaller cards instead of one large one - it is your choice, if you want to use a large card with all your images taking during the year, or use several small cards, with just enough space for one shoot. The small cards are more convenient when importing and usually faster, but the large cards are more convenient when taking pictures and are a nice additional yearly backup.
    Thanks.

  • No longer able to import movies from Sony HDR-SR10

    I have a Sony HDR-SR10 camera. I have previously been able to import videos from it to iMovie '08, but now I always get an error :
    *An Error Occurred During Import*
    There was a problem importing 1 of 1 clips from your camera. Please review the imported movies carefully.
    I can't think of anything which has changed since when I was able to import movies, except that I have upgraded to Snow Leopard.

    Hi Winston, thanks for your answer. It's a bit worrying to hear about having to format the camera every now and then' I haven't formatted it since I bought it 18 months ago...
    No, I don't have any other software that can convert the videos. Is there any free software which can do it?
    I did try repairing the image database on the camera, but it didn't help.
    I don't know if this is clear from my previous post, but none of the clips on the camera can be imported; it's not just some of them. There are hundreds of clips on the camera...
    Sony have told me I should upgrade to iMovie '09; do you know if this is likely to help? Could the problem be caused by running iMovie '08 on Snow Leopard?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Not able to import photos from Iphoto with the trial version of Aperture

    I just downloaded the trial version of Aperture 3 and was trying to import my Iphoto library to work with some of the photos in Aperture.  When I go to File, Import, Iphoto library, the IPhoto Library is not able to be selected. 
    I can go into finder and see that I have an Iphoto Library and it opens with no problem, but for some reason I cannot import or open the library in Aperture, which makes me very hesitant to purchase the full version of the product.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Sounds to me like you are not in the Import dialog box.
    What happens if you select File->Import ...  ?
    If that's not it, show us a screen capture.

  • No longer able to import CD's into iTunes

    Hi,
    I have a customer whom with I set up a music server running iTunes.
    This has worked fine for the past two years, no problems at all - he has nearly 25GB of songs on there and about 20 playlists.
    The problem has now arisen where he is unable to import any more CD's
    When he puts a CD in it appears correctly in Windows Explorer and you can see the tracks on it.
    You do not get prompted to import the CD.
    It no longer appears on the left hand menu as a CD from which you can choose tracks to import.
    Interstingly when you click File - IMPORT you can select and import individual tracks but not multiple.
    I have tried a new CD drive and it has the same problem. I have also updated to the latest version of iTunes and he still as the same problem
    Any suggestions would be gratefully received!

    This just started for me too. Isn't there a fix from apple on this? This is in apple's software, not the computer. I can import cd's through the burner but it says disc burner or software not found when trying to burn one.I tried several things but one of the solutions listed is to uncheck the cd text button but my cd text button cannot be changed(faded but not gone)I've tried to repair it,uninstall and reinstall,update drivers,new gear driver software,slowing burning speeds to 8x or less but this seems to be a software issue. Help!!!

  • No longer able to import CVI Instrument Driver in LabView 2010

    Hello,
      I used to be able to download the Import CVI Instrument Driver Wizard in LabView 2009, but there is no wizard for 2010?
    I also tried importing the driver with the shared library import, but then Binary, Slides and Rings do not come up with their values i.e. if my slide in CVI has 3 positions :
    Description      Value
    Item 1                 1
    Item 2                 2
    Item 3                 3
    or if my Binary has
    Description      Value
    On                        1
    Off                        0
    they do not import the description into LabView 2010?
    I tried copying the directories created by the 2009-wizard to the directories of 2010 i.e.:
    from     C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\resource\CVIFpConv
    to          C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\resource\CVIFpConv
    and
    from     C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\project\_DriverCtoLV
    to         C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\project\_DriverCtoLV
    and the wizard loads and runs until I specify a .fp file and then I get the error in the jpeg attached. When I try to open the block diagram (FC_RFL_Initialize.vi), it says you need a password to view it, so that stops my debugging.
