Photos imported from Sony NEX-3N disappear from iPhoto

I recently imported a series of photos from several different sources (pentax camera, iPhone, USB key and a Sony NEX-3N camera) and all the photos appeared to be imported correctly. I was able to edit the photos and put them in various events in the library manager.
Now, a few hours later, all the photos from the Sony camera have disappeared from the library manager but none of the other photos. They were briefly visible in the photo stream but are disappearing in front of me! When I click on one in the photo stream, it tells me that it has already been imported. Then when I try to display it in the album, it's not there. I've tried using the research function, sorting by date and even the intelligent album function (to find all photos from the Sony NEX-3N) with no success.
When I manage to grab a sony photo from the photo stream before it disappears, and copy it into an album, the information about the source disappears and appears empty. But the photo remains (unfortunately only about 10 out of 200!!)
When I view the event in the library where they should be, the other photos seem to move around on their own, as if the sony photos are there and then disappearing but I can't actually see the missing photos. I've also tried showing hidden photos and looking in the finder library files, to no success.
Help??

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

How do I import RAW images from Sony NEX 5-R to iPhoto?

I have Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and iPhoto 9.4.2 and have installed Digital Camera RAW compatability update 4.01 but still can't import RAW images from my new Sony NEX 5-R digital camera.. any ideas? I also have Photoshop CS6 - should I import through that if iPhoto isn't a feasible option..?

This is the list of currently supported cameras
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5371?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The Nex5-R is not on the List and so that Raw format is not supported at this time.
Note: 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:

Import from Sony NEX-6 crashes iPhoto?

My wife got a new Sony NEX-6. We're back from a vacation and I'm trying to import her photos into iPhoto. After crashing iPhoto about 20 times, I still haven't imported half of her photos. I have copied all her photos to my Mac, and I just drag a folder of them to iPhoto. If it's not the first time I've tried to import that forlder, I tell iPhoto not to import photos already imported. iPhoto works a while and then crashes. When I restart it, it says it found photos that weren't imported and would I like to import them. I say yes, and some of the photos it had been working on when it crashed end up getting imported. Repeat until you pull your hair out. This problem is not just with one memory card, but occurs with all eight memory cards she used in her NEX-6 on our trip. I imported all my photos from my Canon S95 without a hitch, as normal. But there's something about importing photos that were taken on a Sony NEX camera that causes iPhoto to crash quite often.
My wife uses Aperture and didn't have a problem importing her photos into Aperture.
I've seen discussions on other fora about others seeing the same problem with other Sony NEX cameras, so I know this isn't just me.
Any thoughts?

My wife took several thousand photos on our trip. iPhoto will import anywhere between 5 and 123 photos before it crashes, so it's not every photo that crashes iPhoto, but just some of them. (I don't remember the exact numbers of photos that iPhoto has been able to import before crashing, but sometimes it's just a few, and sometimes it can import more than a hundred before it crashes. So, to do an exhasutive test of what you're describing, I'd have to manually open and save a lot of photos to prove anything. Are you thinking of this as a fix, or just a way to gather more information about the problem?

When I disconnect my iphone 3gs(iOS) from computer, the device disappears from my itunes. This prevents me from doing a wireless sync. how do i fix it so that my device stays on itunes without having to plug it in all the time?

When I disconnect my iphone 3gs(iOS) from computer, the device disappears from my itunes. This prevents me from doing a wireless sync. how do i fix it so that my device stays on itunes without having to plug it in all the time?
it worked the first few times i did it but the next day after i closed out of itunes once, the device only appears when i plug in my phone.

Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings. Be sure to turn it off.
You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account. You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. (have restrictions turned off) That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices. Then sign in using the new ID.

I can not import 60p files from Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro X.

I can not import 60p files from my Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro 10.0.1. Does Sony offer a plug in?

I shoot fishing footage of big catches. Slow motion playback appears to me to be much better when shot it 60p even compared to 60i. It also blows away all of the other formats for a "still" grab. Thank you for your help as I did a search and downloaded Clip Wrap which converted the files to .mov and they actually do import the full 60 frames. Thank you again for your reply.

Import Sony NEX-5R AVCHD from SD card to ScreenFlow 5.0

I have a MacBook Air 2012 running OSX10.9.5
I just upgraded to version (5.0) of ScreenFlow that support AVCHD files and want to find a good workflow to get the files from my NEX-5R camera/memory card into my projects.
I tried two cards in the card reader:
Sandisk SDHC 8 GB
Sony SDHC I 32 GB
Both cards where formatted in the camera before recording some video clips using 50p 28M (PS) format.
As soon as I insert the 8 GB card into my MacBook Air Dropbox check the contents and import new files.
Then I can access the .mts files in Dropbox Camera Uploads from Screenflow.
However, when I insert the 32 GB card Dropbox does not try to import anything.
Instead I have to find the memory card (NO NAME) under Devices - MyMacBookAir and navigate to
the PRIVATE folder. The Private folder is mandated by AVCHD standard when stored on SD cards.
In the PRIVATE folders is a AVCHD package, that I show package contents.
In the AVCHD package is a new package, BDMV that I show package contents.
There I can access the .mts files in the STREAM folder:
But these files are not named by date and time as the files imported by Dropbox.
I would like to know why Dropbox does not recognize the larger card and if there
are any other, easier ways to access the files.

As this seems to be a problem specifically with After Effects, you're probably better off asking in that forum.

Support for RAW (ARW) from Sony NEX-7

I have iPhoto 9.2.3 (629.52) on my macBook Air running OS X 10.6.8. I successfully imported Raw photos from my Sony NEX-7 (ARW).
I have iPhoto 9.2.3 (629.52) on my iMac running OS X 10.6.8. When I try to import these same Sony Raw files, I get the message that the format is not supported (or whatever that message is).
I downloaded the RAW camera update 3.9 and installed it on my iMac. Still no go.
What gives? Any ideas? Suggestions?

Ah, wouldn't you know it. Found the answer right after I posted my question (I looked before . . . I swear I did).
I needed and have downloaded the RAW Camera Update 3.13 (I think the specific update I needed was in the RAW Camera update 3.10).
Thanks . . . um . . . to me
Cheers.

HD videos from Sony NEX-3 sound like the Chipmunks

My Sony NEX-3 720p MP4 videos sound like the Chipmunks. Video frame rate appears ok but the sound is way too fast. The files play nicely e.g. in Preview though.
iMovie imports the files nicely, using the internal SD reader in my iMac. However, the sound is out of sync in the imported files. From the sound of it, it seems the audio runs at least at 2x the speed.
Currently I use Handbrake for converting the camera clips into 25 fps m4v and then importing these into iMovie but it is a pain.

Can you tell me how you imported the video from your NEX-3 to iMovie? When I try, the camera automatically opens iPhoto and imports it there. If I open iMovie, all of the selctions are grayed-out so I can't import them. I've tried getting the video straight from the camera but can't seem to do that either. Can you help?

My photos taken about a week ago disappeared from camerA roll... :o

Hi... I have ipad min ios 7.0.1
Some of my photos taken about 5 days age have been disappeared from camera roll... They,ve been there about two hours ago...
What can i do?

The standard procedure with these types of isues is a PRAM reset.
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Can't find movies on sd card from Sony nex-5

Recently I've recorded some videos while on vacation and a lot of pictures on the same sd card using a Sony NEX-5.
When I've got home and tryed to upload it to my iPad (3rd generation) the pictures jumped right out to upload, but, for
Some reason I can't find the footage for the videos. I know it's there because I've used the sd card on a PS3 and I was
Able to watch on my tv, via PS3. For some reason iMovie is not recognizing the AVHCD file format or anything at all other
Than the pictures. I don't know if I have to transfer the footage to other format or what am I doing wrong. The movie was recorded
In HD (1080p)! AVCHD. By the way I'm not an expert on it. just a point and shoot kind of guy. So probably I'm the one doing
The wrong thing. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks

Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
If you camera doesn't produce one of the above formats, you'll have to do a conversion.
Another way to transfer. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

I imported 100 photos, when I was reading photos iphoto crushed, and when I restarted iphoto all photos imported had disappeared!Is there a way to find them. They were imported, they can not have disappeared from the hard disk?

I imported 100 photos from my camera (Canon) into iphoto. The importation went well, and when I was watching the photos, suddenly iphoto crashed. I restarted iphoto and realized that the photos had disapered. The events are availbble into iphoto but they are empty, the photos have dispeared. I can not believe they disapeared as they have been imported and read once, they must be hidden somewhere on the disk? Is there a way to find where they are?

Assuning you're running iPhoto 9 or later try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Audio on MTS-files from Sony Nex 5

Hi. After upgrading the raw-file, finally video playback from files filmed with this camera is back, but the playback is still silent.... Anyone lese with this issue ?

I would like to do this without any conversion. The program plays back the video, so audio should then follow.
