Photos/iPhoto cannot read .jpg files on my phone since Yosemite 10.10.3 update

I have a MacBook Pro.  I recently updated to Yosemite 10.10.3 and installed Photos.  Now when I attach my Samsung Galaxy phone, neither Photos nor iPhoto can read the majority of the photos on my phone! They are .jpg format so WHAT is the problem???? All it tells me is that the files are "unreadable" and that they are in an "unreadable format"... BUT THEY ARE .JPGs!!!! the same format I've been successfully downloading into iPhoto for years!!!!  Please help.

2 Possibilities:
The phone is taking non-standard jpegs in some way of other
Or
The phone is broken and the jpegs are corrupted in some way
Why do I blame the phone? Because neither the Mac nor the PC can access the files.
So, back to Samsung for help on that one.
No, no one from Apple reads or responds on here. As the Terms of Use make quite clear, this is a space for Users to seek help from other Users only. It's not a substitute for AppleCare. There are something in the region of 100,000,000 iPhones out there. It's inevitable that some devices will have issues, and some users. So, taken in that scale, the fact that - what -  a couple of hundred people have issues mightn't seem so appalling.

  • I have a Nikon P7700.  Only some of the images will download  ?and others say that Iphoto cannot read the files.  I need raw images fo print.

    I have a Nikon P7700.  I can download some of the images.  The same set of images will not download so I can send 300dpi images for print.  I am new to figuring this out. Please help? 

    Does your MacBook Air run a reasonably current Operating System (OS X 10.8.5 or later - the current version is 10.9.2)?  Are you running a reasonably current version of iPhoto (9.4.3 or later - the current version is 9.5.1)?
    If so, you can download this RAW compatibility update from mid-January.  It supports your camera.

  • I have all my photos but for some reason iphoto cannot read them?

    I recently backed up all my photos and reinstalled Mac OS X 10.5.6. iphoto would not launch so I installed the iphoto Library Manager. now I can get iphoto to run but when I try to add my photos or direct it to a iphoto library I get the error message...
    The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)
    I have also gotten...
    The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it.
    I have gone in and tried to change the settings of the files to read/write and put in my password but then I get the " The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)" error message?
    Please help. I have all my photos but for some reason iphoto cannot read them? They are jpg files.

    How did you do this?
    These Unable to Import and Locked Library messages are common symptoms of a damaged database file. As iPhoto Library Manager is unable to rectify the situation you'll need to do a Manual Rebuild as described in this article

  • Cannot open .jpg files; says read-only and no access

    I cannot open .jpg files I've been working on, even though I saved them as .jpg.  The prompt kept asking me to save the files over & over.  I did for a while then said NO to close the files.  Now it says access is denied.  Went to properties and tried to uncheck box for read-only, but it says I don't have access to do that.  How can I get my files back...these were very special photos.  Please help!

    No...just PSE7.  Unfortunately, when I tried to cut & paste the photos from
    my camera disk to my hard drive, the problem photo completely disappeared.
    When I go into recent history, the shortcuts are there, but none of them
    work.  They say the file has been moved or changed so...I don't even know
    where they are for now.  Do I need to call a repairman?

  • When I open iPhoto 9.2.1 it says that my library needs to be upgraded but when I upgrade the library I am trying to open (33 GB worth of pictures from 2006) the new application says it cannot read the files and how to find them on the system to reimport?!

    When I open iPhoto 9.2.1 it says that my library needs to be upgraded but when I upgrade the library I am trying to open (33 GB worth of pictures from 2006) the new application says it cannot read the files and how to find them on the system to reimport?! and then I'd like to erase the original files since the space requirement is huge!!!! Why is upgrading software iPhoto such a pain. I've gotta get a presentation done and all I get for my money is roadblock!!!

    hello, it sounds like the library is damaged.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. 

  • Cannot open jpg files in Preview? Error message "may be damaged or use a file format that preview does not recognize".

    For some reason I cannot open jpg files from a co-worker who previosuly sent files without any problems.  I just bought a MacBook Air with OS X Lion & Preview won't open the files.  She sent the same files to another co-worker who opened without any issues?  Help!  Anyone have any suggestions after having the same or similar problem?

    I don't have an answer as to why Preview doesn't want to cooperate, but if you only need to view the jpeg's and do nothing else to them, you can use two FREE applications that come already pre-installed on your Mac... Those are iPhoto and Safari. Just drag and drop over the application icon.
    You can also find several FREE photo viewers in the APP STORE.

  • Cannot find jpg files in LR.

    I cannot find jpg files in LR when convert them from raw in PS. Jpgs are in the appropriate folder when I use Explorer but I do not see any files when I try to import new files in LR. The jpgs used to show up automatically but I don't see any of my files when I browse using Import Photos and Video in LR.

  • Cannot save jpg files in outlook express

    Is there a problem sending a jpg file from Apple mail to outlook express? People I am sending to say they can see the photo, but cannot save the file.

    Do you have the "send Windows friendly files" checked? Other than that, there isn't much you can do that I know of; it is the recipient's ISP server/settings and their mail client settings that determine the remainder.

  • IPhoto cannot read one of my libraries as it is a package

    Recently went on holiday with my macbook pro having moved my sole iPhoto library to an external hard drive for space saving reasons. On holiday I created a new library by uploading some photos.
    I'm now back at home and iPhoto cannot read/access the original iPhoto library when I open the appplication whilst pressing the option key at the same time. It is grayed out. The reason seems to be that it is displayed as a "package" rather than an iPhoto library. I can't see this being an issue for anyone else in apple support communities but also can't believe I'm alone on this and feel I must be missing something obvious.
    Any ideas out there?

    You're missing several files.  Here's what a V9 library contains:
    But the non icon library seems to be big enough to hold your original files.  Open that package as I described in my previous post and move the Originals folder to the Desktop.  The import the subfolders into a new library.

  • Pain't cannot read this file.  This is not a valid bitmap file or it's format is not currently suppo

    Have some photos of a warehouse fire in Plymouth Indiana.  Files were saved as .jpg  Can't get them to open.

    Help Please

    As has been suggested above, I would explore Opening the files in another program first, and if successful, just doing a Save_As from that program.
    I do not know how sensitive Paint might be, but Ps really wants the JPEG header info to be well-formed. I often encounter JPEG errors in Ps, and my first stop is to IrfanView (free), or ThumbsPlus (commercial), as both seem much more lenient with JPEG's. I have only had a few files, that nothing on my computer would open. I assume that they were just too corrupt.
    With either my IrfanView, or ThumbsPlus, when Opened, I do a Save_As, and choose a low compression/high-quality JPEG. If you other program supports Save_As PSD, that would be my # 1 choice, and keep JPEG out of the mix from that point on.
    Good luck,

    Hi Sindhu,
    By default any operating system file extension starts after the dot. So in this case when it says 2 dots it will think there is something wrong.

  • I cannot print .jpg files created in PS or Painter 11 on my Canon Pixma MP500 Printer?

    Using SnowLeopaard on my iMac, I cannot print .jpg files created in PS or Corel Painter 11 on my Canon Pixma MP 500. No file is sent to the print que. My iMac prints well with Word, TextEdit, etc. AppleCare says the problem is with the printer even though there was no problem printing with previous Apple OSX.
    Jay

    Do You use the latest version of the Printer Driver?
    And as You specifically mention jpg, I wonder: Are You able to print other file formats?
    If all else fails You could try saving pdfs and printing from Acrobat.

  • HT3775 I have a video file that is under quick play .mov and my macbook is telling me that it cannot read the file?

    I am trying to record something on my desktop and I recorded it with an application called iscreen recorder lite. I downloaded it off of the application store thinking it would save under a file my computer would recognize. When I tried to play the recording back again, my computer tells me it cannot read the file and I should see if the formatting is right. I checked and the file is under .mov which should be supported by mac. Please help!

    I have this exact same problem, only on Snow Leopard. What's the right answer?
    Thanks, Mark

  • Just bought Canon 40d - Use CS2 - Cannot read Raw files in Bridge

    Heading says it all really. Just purchased new Canon 40D Body and have been using CS2 on Mac OS 10.4 for over two years. Cannot read RAW files in Photoshop Bridge which is what I have used consistently with 20D files up to now. Quick search on Google brought up fact that Adobe had not up upgraded Bridge to read new 40D files but that was 2 years ago. Am now looking for plug-in! Can anyone help or am I now forced to upgrade my CS2 or move away to Aperture or Lightroom? Any help gratefully received. Rob

    The 40d is not supported by any version of Camera Raw that can run in CS2.  You need at least CS3 and ACR 4.2 or greater.
    Dowload the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 5.3 and convert the raw files from your 40d to raw DNGs first, then you can open the DNG files in ACR 3.7 hosted by CS2.
