Photos doesn't recognize my Pentax K3 automatically like iPhoto so I have no way to imprt my images. Just happened since installing Photos. Any ideas

Using Photo 1.0 which was just installed yesterday. Never had a problem with iPhoto for the last 9 years. Once I hook up the camera via USB, turn the camera on the icon for the SD card would appear and iPhoto would open and then give me the option of either importing all photos or selecting which ones.
Now the media card icon doesn't appear and if I try to use the menu bar to "import" it says it can't find the DCF. Therefore it isn't recognizing that I have a device hooked up.

Will image Capture (in your applications folder) import them? Can you see the camera in the finder? Have you tried a card reader?
Basically you need to get the photos off the memory card and once they are safely on your Mac and at lease one backup cycle has successfully completed use the camera's format command to ease and reformat the memory card

HT2907 How do you stop inadvertent contact with the touch screen? Why no Lock Button? Doesn't anyone work out at Apple?? MY Gen 7 also doesn't link to workout equipment automatically like my Gen 6 and I can't stop the bloody voiceover. Any thoughts?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. Next, I did a sync with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files?

What version of iPhoto?
Select one and rotate it. Then rotate it back. Does that make it appear?
A much better work flow is the keep the photos after importing. Check the success the import, wait for at least one successful backup cycle then use you camera's format command to reformat the card

HELP! I had iPhoto on my mac, for some reason it was not responding or damaged. down loaded a new version but can't find my photos. any ideas please. I thought once on the mac always on the mac.

Sorry but we need details to help
What version of the OS do you have? What has changed since iPhtoo worked?
What exactly is the problem - you say "it was not responding" - You downloaded a new version (what version)" -you can't find yoru photos" none of which is helpful
look in your applications folder - is there an Iphoto application there? If so get info and report the version
Look in the picures folder - is there an iPhoto library there? If so exactly (including exact error messages) happens if you double click on it?
what else can you tell us that might help us assist you?

I recently migrated to a new mac. in iphoto, some photos have a small flag on the upper left of the photo. any idea what that is?

i recently migrated to a new mac. in iphoto, some photos have a small flag on the upper left of the photo. any idea what that is?

That's called Flagging. It's a way to make a quick selection of photos. For instance if you're looking for the best shot to print you might go through the photos and flag candidates for further inspection. Then clicking on the Flagged Section on the left, you can see these selected photos together. You can remove flags by clicking on them, if you mouse over a shot you'll see the option to add a flag by clicking. This can also be done in the Photos menu.

my iphoto 9.1 keeps crashing when I try to edit/rotate photos, any ideas?
It will let me do 1 or 2 and then will show 2 photos at once overlayed and then crash...I look for updates and it says I have the most current version...
any help will be appreciated!
thank you, angela

First make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Thsi question hs been sked hundreds of times. Before posting a new question it is a good idea to see if ayone else has been having the same problem and what has been answered for it.
From a post asking this question just before you asked:
Its an error at Apples end nothing wrong with your system. Usually shows up when Apple pushes a lot of updates at once. Wait a while and try again but it may take overnight before it clears up.
If your desperate for the updates and its not an App Store purchase you can usually find the dmg file of the update on the Apple support site. Search around.

Why "Corrupt File or Preview Doesn't Recognize format" msg. after moving the iPhoto folder?

Hello,
I've moved my iPhoto Library from my Mac HD to an external hard drive (WD My Book 1) and now there are no pictures in the iPhoto application when I open it. I have a collection of over 3000. When I click on a .jpg photo within the iPhoto Library I get the message: "Corrupt File or Preview Doesn't Recognize format".
I've been told that this has something to do with moving the iPhoto library from one location to another and that I have to do something to have Tiger recognize iPhoto in its new location.
I moved the iPhoto library from my Mac HD to one of the My Book Ext HDs. But there also was a back up of iPhoto Library on the 150 GB Acomdata Ext HD taken from the Mac HD that wasn't moved. That back up was done on a scheduled backup using Carbon Copy Cloner. However, when I looked for the iPhoto Library on Acomdata, all that was there were the seven item that don't, I think, make up any kind of a library:
Dir.data
iPhoto.db
iPhotoLock.data
Library.iPhoto
Thumb32.data
Thumb64.data
ThumbJPG.data
Could someone please help me with this? I thought I had backup and also that I had moved the library carefully.
In addition, there are other files that I've moved from the Mac HD to the external that aren't opening either, such as movies (.flv "The movie could not be opened), .rtf files ("File does not exist." and .pdfs ("File error. couldn't open the file.")
Thanks,
Rafael

"The backup from Acomdata doesn't appear to be a complete library."
(How do you make a clip of lines you quote that has a different background color — avalible to Apple support discussions?)
I didn't make that clear. The IPhoto Library backup wasn't to the Acomdata. I backed up IPhoto Library to the two 1 TB WD EHDs ("StorageUnit WDnew" and "BU of StorageUnit WDnew") then trashed the one on Mac HD.
The backup you see on Acomdata (clone of Mac HD) isn't a complete library. It's nothing but a new library I started to create and it's to be ignored. I should remove it.
Below is a picture of the back up of IPhoto Library and other items to the first WD "StorageUnit WDnew". The backup on "BU of StorageUnit WDnew" is the same. These two aren't bootable. They only store information. The Acomdata is bootable and that's where I back up my Mac HD. IPhoto used to be on the Mac HD and I moved it to "StorageUnit WDnew". It's the same on "BU of StorageUnit WDnew".
Will "Rebuild IPhoto Library" be able to pull from the external HD?
Why can't I drag and drop folders or files into the volumes in the side bar?
Should I do anything with Ownership and Permissions before I Rebuild IPhoto Library?
Should I press "Apply to enclosed items.” button to set the new read and write settings?
I listed the equipment I use in My Profile in My Products again. I'd done that before. Also, my picture, also in profile, isn't showing up. See what happenns this time.
Thanks. I have so much important stuff in those pictures that I'm very anxious to retrieve everything.

I was printing to the hp e printer fine, but now the iPad still recognizes the printer ,but nothing prints. I continue to successfully print wirelessly from my computer, but not the iPad. Any ideas?

I have an hp photosmart eprinter and have been successful in the past printing to it, but now it shows on the iPad that it recognizes the printer and is printing, but nothing prints. I can still print wirelessly to this from my home pc. Any ideas?

Sure, double-press the Home button quickly and the multitask menu will appear at the bottom of your screen.

Image Capture doesn't recognize my Canon device camera (it has before). I made a copy of the Image Capture app by mistake. What do I do?

My Macbook doesn't have iPhoto installed. ?? I don't know why, because it used to be installed.
I have been able to download photos from my camera using Image Capture, but now Image Capture doesn't show my camera in the Devices window. It did yesterday.
Ideally, I would like to install iPhoto again, but how do I do it without having to purchase the app again?
This might also be relevant:
I wanted to add an Image Capture icon to my dock, but I inadvertently made a copy of the app (called Image Capture copy). When I tried to erase the copy, I couldn't. Image Capture copy is in my Trash and the Image Capture app is in my Applications folder. I tried opening the app from both the Trash version and the app version, but it doesn't help.
Please help!

Use the disks that came with your Mac to do a custom install of the software you need, i.e. iPhoto. The disk should look like #4 in this screenshot:

Hi, whilst on holiday my iPhone automatically updated my photo album and duplicated all the pictures. I deleted the duplicate pictures now when I click on the photo it's just a black screen. Any ideas how I can restore my photos?

Does anybody know how to restore photos on the iPhone 4?
My phone automatically updated my photo album and it made duplicates of each photo.
I deleted one of each as it maxed out my memory. When I went to view the photos I just got a black screen. I have now lost all my
Photos :( if I synch my phone what will happen?

The only way to lose content on the device is restore as "new" from iTunes or "Erase All Content and Settings" from the device.
Start by resetting or restarting the device to see if that rectifies the problem.
