Problem downloading photos from iPhone to iPhoto on MacBook

I can't download photos from my iPhone 5 to iPhoto anymore. It comes up with an error message that says 'The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)' My software is up to date. The photos were taken on my iPhone, however there are also some photos that I have saved from other people who sent them as a text message. How can I save my photos please without loosing them? I have tried to save one image only, not all of them, and nothing work. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

  • Problem downloading photos from iphone 4 ios5 iphoto 11

    I uprgraded iphoto to 11, version 9.2, and Iphone 4 to ios 5. Now iphoto will not import photos from iphone 4. Finder would not see phone either. Iphone was hooked to computer using cord from ipad. Switched to cord from iphone and problem went away.

  • Problems downloading photos from camera to iPhoto

    All -- I'm running iPhoto 6 on a Mac Mini with the latest version of OS10. I have a Canon PowerShot G3 and shoot 4-megapixel JPEG photos, and AVI movies. Downloading photos from the G3 to the Mac is slow, and deadly slow (as is 15 minutes or more) when there's an AVI movie or two mixed in with JPEGs. I've had to abort several downloads when they just flat out stalled.
    Today when downloading a total of 58 JPEGs and 6 AVI's I got an error message - "unreadable files". 51 JPEGS and 3 AVIs downloaded fine. 7 JPEGS and 3 AVIs didn't download. The error message says "The following files could not be imported. They may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data."
    Any help you all can offer would be much appreciated.

    Isn't technology great? The more you learn, the more you need to learn more.
    Have you viewed the iPhoto 6 tutorials? http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/iphoto/new.html The section on Organizing, "Add Ratings, Titles and Comments" could be helpful.
    Click on the little blue i on the lower left of the iPhoto window, and the Info Panel should pop up. Select a picture, and it shows the info for it. Select a film roll's name, and you can see and edit the info for the whole roll. Click on the roll's title in the info panel to highlight it and you can type in a new name. You can edit the date of the roll this way, and it will affect how your rolls are listed in the library. The dates "from" and "to" are generated by the dates of the items within the roll. If you type comments about a roll they will be shown below the roll's name in the library when the roll is closed. I like to keep rolls that match my camera cards, but they can be very large. So I use comments to list the events contained in the roll, so I know which roll to open when I want to find a specific photo.
    If you view your library in Film Roll view then you see the rolls' names with a little triangle to the left. As in the Finder, clicking on the triangle to make it point right conceales the contents of (closes) an item, while clicking on it to turn it down reveals the items inside the item.
    Now the hard part - all those dates. If the dates and times are totally wrong, I would use iPhoto's Batch change to correct them. However, only iPhoto will recognize this date change, because it won't correct the real problem, which is that the EXIF info is wrong for those pictures. There are ways of changing EXIF info which involve downloading other programs, running batch changes, and re-imprting into iPhoto. I've never done it, but I searched the iPhoto 6 forum for "EXIF rename file info" and restricted by user name Old Toad. Try this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1734147&#1734147 and note Old Toad's last post about PhotoInfo.
    If you don't mind about the EXIF, then you can just redate them within iPhoto. Select a series of photos from the same date, then go to the Photos menu and select Batch Change. Select Set Date. Type the correct date and give a time for the first picture. To force iPhoto to maintain the same order within the series, check Add 1 minute between each photo. This way, although the times will be wrong, at least they will have the correct chronological sequence. (Or type in the times manually after the batch change if the order is not correct.) I always do this with rolls of actual film I get processed at a store. The photo CD I get never has the correct dates or times, so I add these to at least get them to display in my library in the correct order. As far as I know, you have to run a seperate batch change for each date that you want to change to. Unless you have a series with one photo for each day and wish to check "Add X Days between each photo."
    The highest rated member (very talented) of the iMovie forum, Karsten Schluter, still tells people he's just an amateur. We all learn what we need when we need it. I am grateful for the support on these forums. Let me know how it goes.

  • Trouble downloading photos from iphone to iphoto

    when i try and download my photos from my iphone 4s i get a message that says "iphoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image" and the it stops downloading.  It doesn't indicate which image there is a problem with.  Has anyone encountered this?  thanks

    You are in a very dangerous situation and you need to fix it now.
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

  • Why am I having this problem importing photos from iPhone to iPhoto?

    I'm getting the error:
    Error downloading image.
    iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image.
    when I "Import All..." from my iPhone. Trying to import individual images I get
    The following file cannot be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)
    IMG_0301.JPG
    I can import the Photos when I am logged-in with other user profile in same macbook air.
    It's not working with Image capture and Preview too.
    PS: Images are not corrupt as it's getting imported through other user profile,so it's the issue with Iphoto.
    I have done below steps but none of this fixed the issue:
    1. Uninstalled Iphoto and installed it again.
    2. Deleted the old iphoto library and created a new one.
    3. Rebuild the library.
    4. Repaired permissions using Disk Utility,
    Could anyone give me solution for this.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    You might try resetting the Home folder permissions for your administrative account as described by LInc Davis in this post:

    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select

  • Problems syncing photos from iPhone to iPhoto

    I have an iPhone 4 installed with iOS 5.0.1. I also have a slightly older version of iPhoto (I believe it's one generation behind; whatever that is). Prior to updating my iPhone to either iOS 5 or iOS 5.0.1 (I didn't check between updates) I used to be able to sync my photos FROM my iPhone into iPhoto. I can no longer do this and Apple has no idea what the problem is?!?!
    iPhoto appears as though it's going to start syncing photos but then does nothing except gives me a big white screen; almost like it doesn't recognize the phone. I've tried deleting the photo cache and nothing. I've tried calling Apple support and nothing.
    Can anyone help me with this, as it is very inconvenient to keep emailing photos to myself. I assume the issue has to do with the iCloud folder and iPhoto doesn't know what to do with the iCloud photo. Of course Apple has to understand this is an issue before it will be fixed, if I am correct.
    Suggestions?

    Since iPhoto syncing is not working for you right now and you need to replace your phone, consider transferring your pictures wirelessly to your computer using and app like PhotoSync.  Also be sure to back up your contacts as they are not fully backed up as part of the iPhone backup.  Either sync them to a service such as Google or use an app like My Contacts Backup (which will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email that your send to yourself and can later be used to import your contacts to your new phone).

  • Problems sending photos from iPhone to iPhoto

    My iPhone stopped sending photos to my iPhoto (Photo Stream).  I thought it might be because I reached the maximum 1000 photos on the stream.  So, I deleted the 1000 photos.  But, then the rest of the photos still would't download.  How can I manually tell my photo stream that I want to stream the rest of the photos to iPhoto?  I tried selecting the photos that didn't go across and selecting a new photo stream, but that didn't work.  Any ideas?

    No need to double post.  See https://discussions.apple.com/message/18389607#18389607.

  • Importing Photos from iPhone to iPhoto on MacBook

    I usually plug in my iphone 5s (with ios7) to my Macbook Pro, to not only sync it/back it up to iTunes, but also to import photos that I have taken on my iPhone to my iPhoto library on the Mackbook. This process usually starts automatically once my iPhone is plugged in, however lately this has not been happening. I plug in my iPhone and it syncs up fine with iTunes, but iPhoto does not automatically open like it used to & even when I manually open iPhoto, my photos are not importing from the iPhone. Does anyone out there have any advice as to how I should correct this? Thanks!

    Hey PM23_,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that iPhoto is not automatically opening when you connect your iPhone. Let’s check your preferences to make sure that this behavior is configured correctly:
    iPhoto '11: General preferences
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2337
    Connecting camera opens
    Choose the application that opens when you connect your camera to your computer.
    Additionally, if you continue to have issues, see this article:
    iOS: Unable to import photos to computer

    Thanks,

  • Missing iphoto pics after downloading photos from iphone

    I downloaded photos from iphone to iphoto and now the only photos that appear in the iphoto library are the ones I just downloaded from the iphone, not any of the earlier ones. There is only one iphoto library to open.  I was able to get all of the earlier photos back by option clicking the library but now the ones from iphoto are missing, despite there only being one iphoto library to open.  How do I unite them?

    This is likely the case.  The only time I see double libraries is when I "Show package contents".  Then there is a "library" (which has all the pics) and a library.photo and a library6.photo.  Both look exactly the same as the real photo library but neither can be opened. 
    I can retake the pictures - it's only 20 or so now and recent too - I just wish I knew what had happened so that it wouldn't happen again!
    Thanks for all of the help!

  • HT3258 After downloading Mac OS X I can no long download photos from Safari to iPhoto.  How do I fix this problem?

    I downloaded Mac OS X Mountain Lion and now I can't download photos from Safari to iPhoto.

    Open iPhoto and then try it. I got the same error message you did when I tried to download an image. iPhoto then opened and I was able to add the image. Not exactly perfect.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • I was trying to sync my latest photos from iphone onto iphoto but pressed restore instead of sync. Now it's deleted my latest photos taken a week ago. Is there a way to get back those photos via backup somehow?

    I was trying to sync my latest photos from iphone onto iphoto but pressed "restore" instead of "sync". Now it's erased my latest photos taken on my iphone a week ago and erased music saved in itunes library. Is there a way to find these photos and music via backup?

    Thanks so much Meg. Unfortunately, iTunes is the program I use to perform syncing. I don't really have other outside options. It is also the location of the backup I would use to restore my phone, and my only way to reclaim important data. I am concerned that, since the last backup occurred when the "other" bar was only moderately huge (around 29G I think), that a backup would replicate the problem back onto my phone. 
    My contacts, etc. are all in address book and the calendar app on my Mac.  As far as I know, iTunes is the way to get them back, but iTunes is where the problem is. 
    Any thoughts on this?

  • Trouble downloading photos from iPhone to iMac.  Error message says I need to free up space on Startup Disc

    After clicking "Download," the iMac seems to download photos from iPhone.  Eventually, I get message that I need to free up space on Startup Disc by deleting files.  What to do?

    You are in a very dangerous situation and you need to fix it now.
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

    I have detele the iPhoto cache from user/library/caches/com.apple.iPhoto but it made no difference.
    Any advice is welcome.

    Yes, I did solved the problem. It was not with iPhoto but with the iTunes. Once I delete my phone profile all worked. I did not write the steps down but if you do it please post it here.
    Cheers

  • Backup photos from iphone to iphoto with face recognision

    I recently changed my harddisk on my macbook pro, fresh installed os x, updated to mountain lion.
    I know most ppl would say I can transfer my data from time-machine, which I could. But my previous disk was backedup from my old old mac, 5 years ago, there is a lot crap on it which I don't want, etc.
    Anyway. so I have the new system, and installed ilife. Then here is an issue:
    - you can import all your photos from iphone to iphoto without problem,
    - but all the face recognition and locations(for each album) defined on my iphone are't imported
    So my questions is: how?
    Also, it would be very handy if we can import apps from iphone to itunes? If you can, not sure how?

    I think you are asking, "How do I transfer Iphoto albums to my MacBook?"
    If so it will cost you. Ive been told by Apple Support that your iphone photos albums are merely a mirror of the original photos. It is not an extra copy or a back up.
    You can get a third party software from http://www.ecamm.com
    Its called "PhoneView" There is a free version and one for 19.99.
    I ended up getting both. It sure beats email all those cropped photos I put in albums to myself.
    That would have taken forever so the 19.99 is worth it. Good Luck!
