Pages Update = 13,000+ Images Imported Via iPhoto - What Gives?

Hi, I just did a Pages software update (prompted) and my iPhoto then launched and proceeded to import over 13,000 images. They look like Pages images (templates and such). What's up? Thanks!

Hard to say - best guess is that somehow the pages update file got dropped onto iPhoto and it imported everything it could - but not being there is only a wild guess
Best solution is to restore your iPhoto library backup from just before this occured

    The iphone software update server could not be contacted" - error message recieved when i try to update to 5.1.1 via itunes , what can i do ?

    Dear Lawrence Finch: 
    If you're still around I hope you see this message, as you're the FIRST person (after reading every link, thread, other sites, apple support articles, etc.) to mention JB may be causing this iTunes popup window to REPEATEDLY occur:
    "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted."
    No, I did not hack anything (are you kidding?  Grannies don't hack!), but I unknowingly bought a 3Gs iOS 3.1 from ebay that was not advertised as JB.  Since it is like brand new, I was going to keep it (because my old backup is iOS 3.1.2) & was trying to simply restore & update, which (I thought) would remove the JB (that's what everybody says at forums, etc).
    Instead, after "erasing all settings/content" (inside phone's Settings to get the prior person's name out of there), it is now stuck in White Apple Mode.
    Put it in DFU/Recovery Mode & connect to iTunes but that stupid above message keeps appearing & I have already read/tried EVERYTHING to get rid of that message, starting with: 
    1.  OLD phones (3Gs) with OLD iOS 3.1+ should work FINE with OLD Mac (iBook) with OLD OSX (Tiger 10.4.11) with OLD iTunes (9.2.1[5]).  So that can't be the problem.
    Here's all the other things apple & others say to check which I already checked:
    2.  USB ports are FINE, both work FINE, so that's not the problem.
    3.  No "extra USB devices" are connected, ONLY a mouse, & then the phone (yes, I tried it w/o the mouse connected but that didn't help).
    4.  No "usb hubs."
    5.  Latest iTunes for this OSX has already been DL'd (iTunes 9.2.1[5]).  If you know of a newer one for this OSX, please advise.
    6.  No antivirus software.
    7.  No security software.
    8.  No routers; only 1 comcast modem, period.  Wired Ethernet.
    9.  No wifi gadgets, no wifi at all.
    10.  No firewalls, except what is on iBook in the SHARING/System-Prefs. section.  It's turned OFF.
    11.  Did the hosts/terminal thing sudo nano whatever it was.  There were only 3 lines, NO gs.apple.com:
    xxxxx local host
    xxxxx broadcast host
    xxxx local host
    Oh, & btw, ATT officially unlocked this phone (after I filled out their online forms) but I can't finish the process via iTunes to get their Confirmation that "Device is Now Unlocked," so I can use T-Mo.
    So that's it.  If you have any other ideas of what to do from here, since from your comment, maybe it's the stupid JB on this phone that is causing the problem (???), please advise.
    Many thanks!

  • HT201302 Importing via iPhoto

    After importing images via iPhoto, where will they be stored on computer?

    Under your "Pictures" folder there is a file (actually is a pakage) called "iPhoto Library". This contains your photos that you import through iPhoto. Also contains other stuff that iPhoto use. So be careful if you open it.

  • Images imported via card reader from Eye-Fi chip are garbled

    Laptop is g580 20157, factory installed windows 8
    Eye-Fi Pro x2 8 GB WiFi
    When using the Eye-Fi via the sd media reader, imported images are garbled. Some thumbnails look ok, others not. All images when previewed are bad.
    When using the Eye-Fi sd to usb converter, images import just fine. When using usb cable to import from camera, images import just fine. When using a non-Eye-Fi sd chip, images import just fine.

    Hi JayWilson,
    Thanks for posting and welcome to the Lenovo Community,
    I’d like to ask you to share with us the status of using the wireless connection is it stable with you and working fine?
    And I’d like to advise you to try to contact the service provider for your Eye-Fi card as i need to share with you the

  • I try to update apps and another acct pops up. what gives?

    I try to update apps on my iphone and other accts appear, what gives?

    To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased them. If you have apps that need updating you have to update the apps one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    The purchased apps that came with the iPod id not transfer with the iPod. They remained licenced to the purchaser. You should delete them.

  • Nikon D90 RAW (NEF) files imported via iPhoto are not recognized

    Would appreciate your help.  Just got an iMac.  OS X 10.6.7.   Installed Aperture 3.1.2.  I shoot RAW+JPEGs.  Imported both files fine to iPhoto '11 from my old PC.  When Aperture then imported an Event from iPhoto, I  still see two versions of each shot, but Aperture calls them both JPEG.  On one version the metadata is complete, on the second some is missing (e.g., Exposure Mode, Lens).  Both are shown as 12.2 MP, no matter what.  Can't do any editing this way!  Any thoughts on what might be going on?  Many thanks!    --Bob

    I just pickup a D300 and unfortunately Aperture nor iPhoto will not import the picture in the RAW format. Do you know if the RAW format will be updated in the new OS release that is to be announced?
    I also contacted Nikon about the Capture NX program that came with the camera and Nikon told me that they are working with Apple to resolve the issues with there program as well.
    It would be nice if the Camera venders would work with Apple before introduction to make sure the software is available to support the hardware they introduce..

  • Images imported from iPhoto to iDvd are not as sharp as originals. Any solution?

    Trying iDVD for the first time. Imported images from iPhoto. However on the DVD, the images are not as sharp as the original files which are very sharp and well-focused. Any solutions or is this kind of degradation just to be expected?
    Thank you!

    Hi
    There are several layers to this.
    a. There are no HD-DVD - DVD is as standard only Standard Definition as on old CRT-TVs and can never be anything btter as iPhoto showes on Your Mac screen (5 to 10 times higher resolution)
    b. One can get a result less than iDVD SD quality and down to really bad by
    • Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - as they discard every second line in the picture = 50% loss
    • Using iMovie HD6 and NO Ken Burns effect AND "Share to iDVD" as this also results in disaster (heavely pixelated Bad bad pictures) - (as iMovie will render badly)
    c. I build my SlideShow in
    • iMovie HD6 - and no Ken Burns effect - BUT I close iMovie and import iMovie movie project (SlideShow) from within iDVD and now iDVD will render and so much better.
    • FinalCut also delivers maximal quality over to iDVD
    (from FCE/P - Export out as QuickTime .mov - NO QuickTime conversion (Important))
    • iMovie'08 to 11 - I Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD or other)
    iMovie HD6/FinalCut + iDVD will give as high quality possibly to the resulting DVD.
    I use
    • Verbatim DVD-R
    • set down burn speed to x4 (Plays better on many DVD-Players)
    • Pro Quality encoding - I got the time and like the result

  • Image importing via card reader...

    Hello all,
    When importing images via a card reader, I am no longer given the option to delete images on my card when Aperture is finished downloading? Is there some kind of option or preference I have inadvertenly clicked on or off? I really like my card empty upon completion of downloading.
    Thanks.
    Brian

    next time you have the import screen open, look for the tick box in the top right of the screen and make sure its checked.

  • I tested my new Canon 5D Mark iii with my 85 1.2 L lens. The images look terrible! What gives?

    I just purchased a new Canon 5D Mark iii body. It is replacing my 1Ds Mark ii. I tested it with my 85 1.2 L series lens. I took the RAW images into Capture One 7 to look at them. I was highly disturbed at what I saw. The quality was no where near my Canon 1Ds Mark ii. The images seemed somewhat soft even after applying a consderable amount of sharpening. They also looked flat and lifeless, even after pumping the contrast and adding Clarity. All in all they looked terrible! I must have something wrong, as I have read countless times that the new chip gives incredible results. 
    When first attempting to set up my camera I set it to Adobe RGB and for RAW images only. I noticed that you seemed forced into deciding on a specific "Picture Style". I left it on the default settting of "Standard". Should that effect my RAW files, or is that bypassed altogether when shooting RAW? I noticed that in "Standard" mode that some in camera sharpening was applied to the files. Is that my problem? Should that be turned down to zero, as I would normally do all my sharpening afterward either in Capture One 7 or other software. I shot all my test images with fast shutter speeds so that is not the issue. This lens is in perfect condition and has always produced incredibly sharp contrasty images. What on earth could be wrong? Any suggestions? I am a professional shooter for the last 20 years, so this is really perplexing me! Help!!!

    Hi Corey,
    Picture styles are ONLY applied to JPEG images or video.  They are never applied to RAW.  Canon will "tag" the meta-data of the image indicating picture style choices so that desktop processing software that understands those choices can apply it after-the-fact.  But the point of "RAW" is that the camera will not perform any change to the image which would result in a loss of original data.
    As for the soft focus... the good news there is probably nothing wrong with your camera or your lens.  It probably just needs a slight focus calibration adjustment (you don't even need to send it in for this.)
    The camera sensor is analogous to a movie screen.  If the image is blurry... it's not the movie screen... it's the movie projector (or the focus).  However... keeping with that analogy... suppose we focused the image perfectly... but then moved the project a foot closer to the screen.  The result would be a slightly out-of-focus image even though there is actually nothing wrong with the projector.
    The phase detect focus sensors are on the floor of your camera.  When the reflex mirror is down, some light is bounced down into those sensors to focus the image.  The distance to the AF sensors vs. the distance to the real sensor is supposed to be calibrated to match... but it's actually possible for the AF sensors to think the image is focused when it's really slightly out of focus on the sensor.  For this reason, your camera has auto-focus micro-adjustment capability -- in other words this is something you can test and tune yourself.  The REASON you might do it yourself is because it turns out it can be different for every lens (even two EF 85mm f/1.2L lenses in a row might have slightly different focus).  This adjustment is only available on the mid-range and pro bodies -- it's part of the reason you buy a premium body.  The camera can actually remember the AF adjustment for each lens uniquely.
    See this article:  http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2008/12/this-lens-is-soft-and-other-myths
    Or this article:  http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/are_your_pictures_out_of_focus.shtml
    BTW, to test the lens, I'd suggest getting a focus calibration target.  You want controlled conditions when you do this -- don't shoot typical everday subjects because it wont be precise enough.
    I use a DataColor Spyder "LensCal".   The LensAlign products are also popular.

  • In trying to print 4 page web display with pictures, only first page pictures print but remaining text prints. What gives?s

    See question.

    I did all those things using Word and Paint to no avail. This raises another problem My PC came with Works bundled which suddenly stopped working, although it could handle graphics. MS had no solution so I deleted it and figured I could download it from MS.
    Hah. Sure I could...for $130. So now I need a free word processing program which will handle graphics.
    Any ideas?

  • Imported images very dark iPhoto 11 (9.1)

    Imported photos are very dark & require considerable editing to improve. Same images imported into iPhoto 09 (8.1.2) on my MacBook are good color and need minimal editing if at all. Can someone advise how to solve this? Or alternatively how to uninstall iPhoto 11 (9.1) and go back to iPhoto 09 (8.1.2)?
    For info videos from same camera imported into iMovie 11 (9.0) are good color.
    Help! Thanks

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Importing into iPhoto 6 from Sony DSC-T1 crashes the application

    Until I updated to iLife 06 I never had trouble importing photos into iPhoto from my Sony DSC-T1. Now, within seconds of clicking on the "import now" button the program crashes, and I've sent the obligitory bug report to Apple, but now the card is full and I don't know where to turn...
    12 PB   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   iLife 06

    Strange. Sorry to hear about your problems. Rather than importing via iPhoto directly from the camera, why don't you try getting the images off the card in the Finder? When you plug in the camera an icon for the memory card will appear on your desktop. Quit iPhoto if it automatically comes up. Create a folder on your desktop. Double click the memory card icon, and browse its contents until you find the image files. Drag them to the folder you created, and wait for the copy to complete. Then launch iPhoto and drag the folder of images into iPhoto.
    Hopefully Apple support will be able to help you with that camera import into iPhoto. Is it on the iPhoto supported list?

  • Could someone please help me import my iphoto photos into aperture?  They are now just referenced files.

    Hello,
    I am a longtime iphoto user and installed aperture this past december.  At that time I imported all my iphoto photos as referenced files and kept them in their iphoto location.  Since that time, every photo I took was uploaded directly into aperture and stored there.  I am now comfortable enough with aperture that I would like to use it as my primary photo viewer / manipulator and would like to merge my two libraries into one single aperture library.  Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to do this. 
    I tried consolidating all originals yesterday, however this did not seem to have any effect.  I then tried reimporting my iphoto library, however, this simply duplicated many of my events (and the duplicated ones were not even adjustable via aperture, and each photo had a little exclamation point in the lower right corner).  Both of these attempts did nothing to combine my aperture projects and my iphoto events (which are now seen as a seperate iphoto tab under projects).  I am aware that I can now switch to my iphoto library within aperture in version 3.3, but I just want everything stored in one place and in my aperture library.  Can someone please help me with this?
    The only thing I can think of is deleting all of the iphoto events from aperture and then reimporting them, but I am scared I will either delete something permenantly or that they will simply reimport as referenced files and remain within iphoto. 
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    - Mike

    Mike,
    I am not quite clear about the current state of your iPhoto and Aperture libraries. It looks like you have plenty of broken links to referenced masters in either library. Whatever you do now, it is very important to ensure that you have a working backup, both of your iPhoto Library and your Aperture library, before you try a major reconstruction.
    I tried consolidating all originals yesterday, however this did not seem to have any effect.
    In what way did it not have any effect? From the effects you are describing, it looks like all your original master images have been removed from the iPhoto Library and are now inside the Aperture library as managed masters - at least, this would explain, why trying to import the iPhoto library resulted in duplicated projects (and the duplicated ones were not even adjustable via aperture, and each photo had a little exclamation point in the lower right corner). You removed the original masters from the iPhoto library, and now you could not import it, since the originals are now in Aperture.
    For me it looks, like you simply need to delete the iPhoto images marked with an exclamation mark, for these are already bound to images that you imported earlier. It is perfectly o.k. that the recently imported iPhoto Library appears in a separate section of the projects in your Library Inspector Panel. Each iPhoto event should appear as a project. Aperture will put them there, so you can find them easily.
    You should check now, if the originally imported images, that you imported as referenced, are now managed. If you enable badge overlays you should see no longer any arrows on the thumbnails of your earlier imports. Also, if you select one of these images, you should be able to toggle between original master and version by typing the "M" key.
    Define some smart albums (File > New > Smart album) based on the file status: Add a rule: File status is.
    One smart album: File Status is referenced
    One smart album: File Status is managed
    One smart album: File Status is missing
    The first album should be empty.
    The second album should show all your images you originally imported from iphoto as managed, and that you recently consolidated.
    The third album should show your recent import - the images imported from iPhoto after you consolidated the originals to Aperture and removed these images from iPhoto.
    Post back, when you have checked the file status of your images in Aperture and we can be sure were the images are exactly.
    Regards

  • HP Image Edit commandeers iPhoto editing?

    Since I installed HP's software for use with a Scanjet 4370 scanner, HP's "Image Edit" takes over from iPhoto whenever I try to edit an image. It does this to photos that have been in the library for months, not just images imported via the scanner.
    I can't find any way to turn this seizure off, and I can't use the editing functions of iPhoto. Whichever image I open, HP's software commandeers the editing process.
    This is nuts.

    andan:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Locate of of those offending files in iPhoto's Library/Originals folder. Then type Command-I to bring up the Info window. There select Preview as the default application and click on the Apply to all... button. See if that won't do it.
    Also in iPhoto's General preferences window make sure Edit photo: is set to :in main window".

  • Dates does not follow import from iPhoto

    Hi!
    I wanted to learn Aperture 3 so I imported my iPhoto library with a couple of Events and stuff, but when I got going I noticed that tha date of every picture I imported was set to 2001-01-01 01:00:00. But when I import them from Photo Stream the dates are right.
    Why did this happen, and is there any way to fix it? It took a long time to import the library, so I don't wan't to try that as a first option...
    Thanks!

    I also observed this problem on some images imported from iPhoto. In all cases the the date has already been wrong in iPhoto after upgrading the iPhoto library to version 9.3.2. And when importing to Aperture the wrong date was transferred.
    The problem (with the images I inspected) was, that the edited versions show the wrong capture date, not the original (master) image files. The originals have the correct capture date in the EXIF information.
    In my Aperture library I recovered the date by collecting all images with the wrong date in a smart album, selectig them and using the "Photos > New version from Original" command.
    The new versions all had the correct date.
    BTW: For my images the date was not 2001, but 1901 - more than a hundred years off I only saw this in Aperture in the "Date created" Exif tag, not in the "Date" tag. iPhoto is showing the full year 1901.
