Please help! error message when trying to download pictures from iphone5 to macbook pro

Hello everyone,
lately I have been having some issues when trying to download pictures from my iphone to my iphoto library. Whenever I try to do so this message pops up "The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format." Would anyone happen to know why this is happening? I was always able to transfer my pictures from my phone to my laptop before, so I don't know why this is happening now.
Thank you very much to whomever might be able to solve this problem for me!!

"The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format."
if you look at the error message - is the filename mentioned? What kind of file is it? A JPEG? A video?
Can you import the files from your iPhone with Image Capture?

    You can't use Safari to download iPad apps. Only use iTunes/App Store.

  • I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

    I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I  am using windows 7 professional install disc. I  can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

    Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
    I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
    Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
    "P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

  • Please Help - Error message when trying to open itunes

    Hi
    Can someone help pls? I was in the middle of upgrading my version of itunes and my computer crashed. Now when I try to open itunes I get an error message as follows: 'iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience'.
    I don't know what to do! I am worried I have lost all of my music!?

    hiya!
    'Quick time failed to initialize. Error # - 2095. Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed on this computer'.
    okay, let's try a careful standalone QT reinstall:
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • Error message when trying to download book from library

    When I try to download an ebook from the library, I receive this message, " Adobe cannot open (name of book) because it either is not a suppported file type or file has been damaged. I spoke to an Adobe tech and he said it was a problem from book supplier ( the library ) not Adobe. He suggested I try another library system. I did but I still received the same message. I have downloaded Digital Editions several times and deleted it and reinstalled it but to no avail? Any suggestions?

    You're now putting some context around your issue, and that helps.
    There's some information missing.  You haven't said what kind of Nook you
    have: not all versions of the Nook work with Digital Editions (DE).  Also,
    you haven't said whether you've ever been successful in transferring an
    ebook to your Nook. I'll deal with these issues first.  Please don't feel
    that I'm insulting your intelligence or anything with my commentary.  It
    always helps to go over the basics - we all miss something now and then.
    There are a couple of things I can suggest.  Certain older model Nooks work
    with DE.  The newest models, however don't.  You can look up your Nook on
    the list of supported devices
    HERE<http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/supported-devices>.
    IF your Nook isn't on the list, DE won't be able to transfer ebooks to it.
    Assuming your Nook is on the list, you have to register it with Barnes &
    Noble.  When you do this, use your Adobe ID.  That makes the use of DE
    simpler.
    It sounds like you've been able to find a source for your ebooks that's not
    B&N, and you've been able to hook up with them.  The difference between
    OPEN and SAVE when downloading is what DE does with the ebook.  If you
    choose OPEN, the ebook's opened in Reading mode on your computer.  If you
    choose SAVE, DE puts the ebook into your Library - which is where you want
    it to be most of the time.
    Connecting the Nook should follow a process also.  When you connect the
    Nook, make sure that your computer recognizes it and gives it a drive
    letter.  You can check this also on the Nook's screen, where it should tell
    you it's connected.
    Once connected, then start DE.  If all is well, DE will display the name of
    the Nook on the Bookshelf side of the Library view panel.  That's the left
    hand side (usually in the middle of the page).  If it does, then you can
    drag and drop titles from the Library onto the Nook.
    When you're done with the transfer, you can close DE, but leave the Nook
    connected until its screen tells you it has finished processing new
    content.  When it has, you can use your computer's utility programs
    (Windows Explorer, for example - NOT Internet Explorer) to eject the drive
    letter, or, for a Windows computer, the icon on the extreme right hand side
    of the START bar that says 'Safely Remove Hardware' when you hover your
    cursor over it.
    Once removed, you 'should' have the ebook on the Nook, and be able to open
    it.
    If you've done all this and it's worked, but you still get the messages,
    then there is something wrong with the ebook file.  I've discovered the
    hard way that some libraries are better than others.  In one case, the
    technical gurus put the wrong format extension on an ebook, and we thought
    it was an .epub, but it wasn't.  So, if you're still getting the message,
    you probably need to contact the library and discuss the issue, as I said
    before.

  • I get an error message when trying to import pictures from iphone to iphoto(Imac)

    I get an error message trying to import photos from phone to imac. have 266 photos to get on my computer. how can i get these pictures off iphone onto my imac.?

    Try a couple folders up - a parent folder's permissions can cause problems with a child subfolder.
    And don't just rely on the read-only box. Go to c/users/username/music, right-click and get permissions, go to the security tab and make sure your username has full control and ownership.

  • "No Camera available" error message when trying to FaceTime or Skype on my MacBook Pro

    I have a 15" early 2008 MacBook Pro (2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo), 4 Gigs RAM with a built in camera (In Sight) that stopped working over a year ago when I had Mavericks installed.  I had hoped that installing OS X Yosemite would solve the problem but it has not.
    I suspect it's a matter of missing drivers as opposed to a broken camera.
    I would appreciate any bright ideas the community can provide.

  • Error message when trying to download cp5_reviewerapp from Adobe or when installing locally

    Has anyone had any issues installing the Adobe Captivate cp5_reviewerapp from Adobe?  I've tried three times from Adobe and I saved it on my desktop twice.  Either time, I get "Installer:  An Error has occurred.  Installing or uninstalling this application on your system is not allowed by your adminstrator.  Please contact your administrator" .  I've made myself admin on the machines but no matter how it's done, cp5_reviewerapp cannot be installed.  I reimaged a machine to see if a fresh image would work but it still errored out.  Any help would be great appreciated. 

    Here is an update and more information:  I actually have two MBP's.  One is a mid-2009 model and one is a new, mid-2012.  I transferred files from the mid-2009 to the mid-2012, but I use both computers frequently.  This problem only occurs on the mid-2009 and not on the mid-2012.  I have authorized both computers.

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

  • Why is there suddenly an error message when trying to download pdf documents online: "cannot export document"

    Why am I recently receiving an error message when trying to download pdf documents from the web? The message reads: "cannot export document" I've updated Adobe and all software updates are current. The first indication of a problem was when I opened a pdf that I thought downloaded, but the file is blank. Now that doesn't even happen. Any help would be tremendously appreciated! Thank you, KB

    I know man what your saying. I should have written it down when it happened last night. I figured if anyone had had the same issue they might know the reason. I'll try doing a test recording today and see if the same issue arises. Meanwhile, if anyone has this happen to them please let me know. Thanks

  • I keep getting an error message when trying to download i tunes. It says it's looking for MSVCR80.dll and I find it on my computer so I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?

    I keep getting an error message when trying to download itunes. It says it can't find "msvcr80.dll, but when I search for it on my computer it is there. My itunes was working just fine before I got the message to download the latest upgrade. I've not had any problems doing that before now, so don't really know what to do.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
