pictures not able to import to my PC

What type of error are you getting? Is the iPhone recognized in Windows? Can you see the iPhone in Windows Explorer? What version of Windows are you using?

Unable to import-'Pictures' folder is missing in Destination panel?

My 'Pictures' folder is missing in my Destination panel, as well as 'Users', etc. It shows my C-drive which shows 'My music', but not 'my pictures'. When I click on 'create/choose' new distination folder using Explorer window, I choose the 'pictures' folder from there, but it doesn't create it. Not having this problem on my desktop computer, only my laptop (both are pc). For this reason, I'm unable to import photos. Any help is appreciated!

I am unable to import pictures from my iphone to my computer. Can anyone help?

I am unable to import pics.

It sounds like you are using an application to import. You can do it manually.
Start > Computer (on the right) > scroll to the bottom and you will see your iPhone under Portable Devices > Open it and you will see a Drive, open that and there will be a DCIM folder. That is where your photos will be (There may be other folders each holding photos).

Since Apple's last Update on 6 June 2014, I have been unable to Import photos from any source. I receive a message saying, Importing photos but nothing happens. When I click on Stop Import, nothing happens. I must press the On/Off button to exit iPhoto.

Since Apples last update on 6 June 2014, I have been unable to Import photos from ANY source. When I attempt to do so, I receive the message "Import Preparing to inmport..." I've waited 10 minutes but nothing happens. When I click on the icon, Stop Import, nothing happens. When I attempt to Close iPhoto i receive the message, "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete." When I click on OK, nothing happens. The only way I can exit iPhoto is to press the On/Off button.

After loading this file I was sucessful in importing photos from a web site, my camera memory card and a CD containing photos.
That is a good news. We now know, that iPhoto is working as expected, when you are switching to a different library.
But this is puzzling:
I then see a box with two Librarys listed, both have the same name except for the following and are listed as:
iPhoto Library.photolibrary but one has (default) after its name which is the one which is always displayed when I load iPhoto.
Underneath the box is written:
/Users/paulfkardian/Pictures/iPhoto Library.photolibrary
Underneath this are three boxes titled: Other Library Create New Choose
I highlighted the the File without the (default) after its name and clicked on Choose. A Library was loaded which had my photos (about 9,822) from about 7 months ago. Underneath the box is written diferently than the file always loaded and says:
/Users/paulfkardian/Pictures (original)/iPhoto Library.photolibrary
You are having two "Pictures" folders in your Home folder, Pictures and Pictures (original)? And each has a different iPhoto library - one working correctly, and one not? Do you remember, when this second "Pictures" folder has been created and what caused it? Did you restore your Home folder from a backup some time ago?

Unable to import D300 NEF files

I am trying to import pix from Nikon D300. All shot in RAW format. iphoto 8 opens up and shows me thumbnails but is unable to import any pictures. I am assuming the iPhoto 8 is not updated for new cameras. is that correct? How long will it take for iPhoto to support D300?
Thanks.

hope the 10.5.2. solve this

Unable to import jpegs into Library

HI all,
I hoping somenone has come across a similar issue and resolved it. When trying to import my jpegs from both my iphone and my digital camera the import runs but at the end when prompted to keep originals or remove a message box prompts with the folllowing:
Unreadable Files: 26
The following files could not be imported.(the Import failed)
Has anyone had this and resolved it. Its disastrous for me at the moment as i cannot back up all my photos of my new born girl.

TD
Thank you for your response, but unfortunately this did not help as i get the same issue as before - "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognised file type or the files may not contain valid data)"
I now have another problem, where when i now open iPhoto it comes up with this message box:
25 photos were found in the iPhoto library that were not imported. Would you like to import them Yes or No.
if i click yes it tries to import them, shows the above error message again (files could not be imported etc) then creates an album titled recovered photo's with no pictures in it.It also actually downloads the photos to a file on the HD titled " iPhoto Library Recovered Photos"
If i click NO a message box appears stating " these photo's have been placed in folder xx/xx/xx etc titled " iPhoto Library Recovered Photos", so i now have 2 folders with the same pictures, but still unable to import. Plus i cannot stop iPhoto doing the above. every time i open it i get the above message and it creates a new recovered folder.
I am now worse off than when i started.
Help.

Same "unable to import file" question, but solution did not work for me....

I receive an error message as well and decreasing the size of the photo does not help.
I scanned in images using the canoscan software. I can open the image in preview. The original file is about 4BM. I've save as a smaller 1MB file in Photoshop elements.
I am still unable to import the image into iPhoto.
Any thoughts? Again, the picture looks fine in Preview.

I'm glad you got it to work.
FYI:
If you like editing in Photoshop Elements and would like iPhoto to link your edited version to the original, you can set PE as your external editor in iPhoto's Preferences. Then when you double-click in iPhoto, your pix will open in PE. If you do a straight Save, the edit will appear as the thumbnail in iPhoto. If you do a Save As or rename the file (including changing the file extension) you still have to Save As to the desktop and Import to iPhoto as a new Original. To edit in iPhoto with PE set as your External Editor, simply click on the Full-Screen Edit icon near the Key words icon at the bottom of the iPhoto window.

IPhoto 9.2 unable to import

I recently bought the iphone 4S and subsequently upgraded to OS Lion and iPhoto 9.2 so I could use iCloud, but iPhoto is pinwheeling on me and unable to import photos. I've read through a lot of similar threads but haven't been able to fix it. I made another user account and was able to upload pictures with that iphoto. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
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. .

Unable to import video frompanasonic VDR-D105 DVD video camera to imovie HD

Trying to import my video from my dvd camera but imovie can not find camera. When I connect the firewire the camera locates DVD player software and allows me to play it on my computer, but not able to import to imovie. DVD Player allows my to clip my video but does not allow me to transfer of save it on my computer.
If I'm unable to import, Is there a work around to get my video in imovie, say quicktime?
I am using imovie HD 6.0.3.

Hi S
1. DVD-Cameras are for playback - not to be edited from.
iMovie, FinalCut Express and Pro works with miniDV tape Cameras
This course DVD and hard disk Cameras compact info to medium BUT in
a destructive way. You can't get full quality back to be edited.
miniDV also compacts to tape BUT Non-destructive = full quality to Mac.
2. Does Your Camera really have FireWire. Most probably You are using
the USB-cable that was delivered with Your Camera. FW is buy extra.
Best solution - though sour. Change Camera
If this isn't an option You'll have to back convert to streaming DV that iMovie
and FCE/P understands.
- Converting programs like may be:
MPEG Streamclip converts from mpeg-1 to whatever you like (within reason).
QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component
or
via analog out on Camera via an A/D-box to FW to Mac.
Non is a good way though.
Yours Bengt W

Unable to import movie files from iphoto '08 into imovie HD

I have recently bought a 2008 macbook (2.2 GHz) and have recently downloaded imovie HD in addition to owning iLife '08 due to its extra capabilities. I have found that I am unable to import any of my movie files from my iphoto library folder as it seems to need to open the actual iphoto application before the files can be accessed. In addition, when not using any specific program it would be nice to be able to access my photo/video files within the iphoto folder without iphoto automatically opening as the default viewer.
Any ideas??!! Thanks.

.. and I import AVI video clips directly without converting to .dv, without problems.
lucky you.. .avi is just a container, no 'format'/codec .. I can show you dozends of .avis, which will NOT import into iMHD6, due to being playback-codecs, not convertable by the underlying Quicktime engine into separte, editable audio+video streams ..
.. If you convert to .dv, the size just blows up.
dv is 13GB/h and a codec meant for editing; e.g. it stores every frame (video=30 frams/sec) of a recording, as mpegs usually doesn't do so.. = your Mac has to estimate content, when converting and 'recovering' the content = lossy process.
iMHD6 is a dv-editor; the mpeg4 feature is only a toy, to spice up iSight recordings.. for sure, the QTengine can convert a lot, but too much conversion (from one lossy codec, e.g. divx, into another, e.g. mp4) means a (dramatic) loss of pic quality..
my 5€ cents ..

I am unable to import new photos in iPhoto 11. Perhaps I should just reinstall from iLife disk? Will it affect my photos in any way?

Hello,
I have iPhoto 11 installed on my MacBook. I am now unable to import new photos using USB or by plugging the camera directly into the laptop. Never had that probem before with this camera. Perhaps just reinstall iPhoto from the iLife disk?

Hello Terence,
Okay I will try reformating the camera's card. However all is well when I export photos to my iMac at home or onto my iPad.
If your suggestion does not work should I try reinstalling iPhoto from the iLife disk? If so, how do I go about doing that or is there a website somewhere explaining this?
Regards,
Tom

Unable to import M3U file. Unknown error -50

Hey guys,
I am unable to import an M3U playlist into iTunes. Getting the following error message:
The file "File.M3U" cannot be imported. An unknown error occurred (-50).
Have any of you seen it and know a way to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Any chance that the Playlist you are importing has some 'special characters'? They are usually fine within the playlist, but the title of the playlist cannot contain them.
Just a thought....

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry,
Yes, the error message is exactly like that ("Database error: failured to persist version")
No photos will import at all. I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2.
About the difference? iPhoto and Photos . Are there two softwares?
I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto. It's call iPhoto library. At one point I turned off streaming.
Thanks again Larry HN.

How can I view my pictures that were backed up to iTunes? I no longer have an apple product but need to view the pictures for very important reasons.

If you mean backed up as part of an iPhone backup in iTunes? If so, you would have to use 3rd party software to extract them from the backup, such as iPhone Backup Extractor.
