Unable to upload photos from SD card to iPhoto
I am no longer able to upload photos from my SD card to my iPhoto Library. In the past I would see my SD card on left hand margin to click on and no longer do despite reinserting card or my own troubleshooting efforts (restarting mac and closing down other windows and trying to create a new album)
Also, I am unable to even view the photos as I have been able to in the past.
Would appreciate any assistance in getting this problem fixed so that I can continue to add photos to my library.
Thanks
Thanks LN.....I am able to view the photos through FINDER through the DCMI folder and then drag them into a new album I create on iPhoto. It is a bit more work but at least I have a way of doing it. I wish I could do it the way I did before and don't know why I am encountering a problem all of a sudden.
If there is a way you think of that will allow the SD card to be accessed directly by iPhoto again and you can walk me through it I would appreciate it.
But for now I am THRILLED to be able to at least get my pics imported into iPhoto for viewing and sharing.
As far as reformating the card do you think that will resolve my problem and how exactly do I do that??
I have a kodak Easyshare M341
Thanks to you and TD for your help.....

I recently re-loaded iphoto, and now am unable to upload photos from my camera - saying there is insufficient disk space. does anyone have a solution?
Assuming you have space on your disk, then it could be a symptom of a damaged Library.
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. .

My iPhone 4 is unable to upload photos from the camera roll onto facebook. I keep getting the message "unable to upload now, try later"
I suffer same. AppleCare can't seem to solve the problem. I did a restore from backup. Then I did a restore as new phone (virgin). Then I did a restore as a new device and then backed up from a stored backup (which does not replace media). To no avail. Some days it works fine, and on others it's extremely bothersome. The major symptoms:
1. It can take 5+ seconds to delete a photo.
2. It can take 10+ seconds for the camera app to activate. In many instances, the moment is long gone.
3. Switching from camera to video can take 5+ seconds.
4. Saving a photo that's been optimized in iOS 5 can take 30 seconds. Absurd.
Note that Photos and Camera aren't the only affected applications. What'sApp can have the same issues on occasion. Voice Memos don't respond like they should, either. I suspect that there's some behind-the-scenes operations with network feed to which iOS gives its full attention (contrary to the UX getting full attention is is historically the case). This makes the user interface painfully slow at times — and, as most of us here would agree — painfully annoying. This might have to do with changes designed around iCloud, but I'm not even (yet) using it.
The bottom line is that what used to be a quick, pretty good phone camera is now totally lackluster and unreliable for fast shots. Sometimes I think Apple spends too much time worrying about form and not enough about function. -
When i try to upload photos from my iphone iphoto freezes after a few have been uploaded, force quit shows that it is still running. I have left it running for days with no change. In addition Places is continually running, would this have an effect?
Help much appreciated.The next step is to repair your main library: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

8.2 update - unable to upload photos from Camera app
I downloaded the 8.2 update, and now I can't seem to upload photos from the Camera app to Facebook when I check-in. It only brings up my videos from the Camera app, not the photos. Does anyone know how to fix this?
You're welcome.
It is needed by the FaceBook app in order to upload photos with the app. You need it on for the apps that require location services in order to use the app or to use the location services function included with the app. You don't necessarily need it on for every app - that is up to you.
The arrow in the menu bar means location services is being actively used by an app.
The arrow next to an app at Settings > Location Services means the app has requested your location within the last 24 hours. -
I have uploaded my photos from my trip to iphoto from my iphone and the folder is still there until events and photos but the photos are nowhere to be found. Please help!!
Please explain and provide details
What versionn of iPhoto and of the OS?
the folder is still there until events and photos
What does this mean? In iPhoto folders are organizational elements adn can not hold photos - folders hold other folders and albums (in the source pane on the left)
Are you photos in the last import list?

How to upload photos from memory card to computer on new Officejet 8500A Plus?
I recently replaced an older HP psc 2410 photosmart printer with a new Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer. The installation went fine without error messages, and it prints, scans and copies just fine. When I insert a memory card into the slot, the printer itself recognizes the files and displays them on the LCD screen and offers to print them. BUT ... what I want to do is upload the files to my PC (running Windows XP), and I can't figure out how to do it! There is no HP program that pops up and offers to transfer the photos like with my old printer. I was also expecting to see the card slots shown as a removeable drive like I did with my old printer, but I don't see them. Also, my Photoshop Elements program doesn't recognize the card slots either.
Then it dawned on me that my computer doesn't "see" the card slots because it's not connected directly to the printer! I set this up as a wireless printer and I am totally new to this, so pardon if this is a dumb question... but is there no way to transfer files from the card slot to the PC in a wireless setup?? I'm totally confused...
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi,
If your printer is connected thru network or wireless network, you have to access it thru the IP address.
Find out the IP address of the printer. You can do this by clicking on the network icon on the front panel of your printer.
Open Windows explorer and type \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address of the printer.
You'll see the memory card slot there.
You can do a "map network drive" to it if you want your printer card slot to be listed there permanently.
Say "Thanks" by clicking the Kudos Star in the post that helped you.
Please mark the post that solves your problem as "Accepted Solution"

Unable to upload photos from photostream to FB
this has never worked right for me, but since the icloud update, my work around is no longer working. When I go to upload a photostream photo to my FB page, I can not select it.
The photo is there, in photostream, but now, after the update and the new way the pics are organized, they no longer are named (albeit automatically)
I used to be able to type the name in the file name blank and then it would let me select it
I am using google chrome, and I have tried safari also with same results
Windows 7, all latest updates on all aforementioned software
anyone else?
My new work around is using snip-it tool and saving it to desktop but ***???You're welcome.

NEED ASAP HELP WITH TRANSFERRING PHOTOS FROM SMART CARD TO IPHOTO 09
I have several SD's (512 mg - 2 gig) that have important photos which need to be transferred from the card to my MAC Pro. Problem is that I cannot find my usb cable that came with my camera so must take straight from card. When I tried to put the first card into the SD drive, the card got stuck and I had to spend hours getting it out with a pair of tweezers. I've never had so much trouble inserting a card into my computer and transferring the photos onto my computer. I need HELP QUICKLY!!! AM TRYING TO SELL BDRM FURNITURE ON CRAIGS LIST BEFORE NEXT FRIDAY & HAVE SOME NEAT PICS TO ACCOMPANY AD. THANKS SO MUCH!!! This has taken me ALL weekend!!!
I suggest you get a card reader and use it to upload from the card to a folder on the desktop and then into iPhoto. I got mine at WalMart for $10.

Why can I no longer upload photos from my camera to iPhoto?
When the camera is plugged into the iMac (recently updated to Yosemite), iPhoto recognizes the device but the screen seems to freeze with "Loading..." in the area where the photos usually appear prior to selection for importing. I opened the Photo Library First Aid which is initialized by opening iPhoto with the Option and Command keys depressed. I did not run Repair Permissions but did run the other three. This is the first attempt to load images from my camera, a Canon G3, since upgrading to Yosemite.
No images make it to the screen to capture. The familiar screen appears recognizing the device with the boxes for Event Name, Import Selected, etc. but there are no images (thumbnails) in the larger area where images usually post. The box at the top right show "Import 0 Photos". Just below that in the thumbnail area, "Loading..." appears but there is nothing indicating the machine is processing; no blinking, no turning wheel, zip. It's not a matter of the image thumbnails making it to the iMac screen yet being unable to do anything from there. There are simply no images making it from camera to the open "Import" screen. Thank you, though.

Import photos from SD card into iPhoto
Santa gave my wife a new camera for Christmas and I am trying to load photos from the SD card using the SanDISK MicroMate (plugs into USB port) that came with the card. My daughter also got a camera, a Digital Blue Disney micro that uses a cable to attach to the USB port. Neither will show up in iPhoto, Image Capture, Windows Media Player, or in a finder window. Both do show up (with correct information as far as I can tell) in the Apple System Profiler. The Digital Blue website states that they do not have Mac software, but that Mac users can plug in to the USB and drag and drop as a "mass storage device". With our old camera, I used a compact flash (CF) with a compact flash reader that plugged into the USB port and never had any problems. The CF always showed up in iPhoto and the finder windows. Any ideas out there. I will probably be upgrading to a 2.4 GHz iMac soon, but would like to solve this before that happens. Thanks for your help.
ScottThe SanDisk website has a PDF owner's guide that says the following;
Macintosh Disk Icons: When you connect the MicroMate Reader/Writer on a Macintosh operating system, a removable disk icon labeled
“untitled” representing the MicroMate Reader/Writer will show on the desktop when a card is inserted.
It also has directions to drag the removable disk icon labeled “untitled” to the trash to remove the disk. There is also a support link to a ebox page on a secure site that won't let me go farther (I think I need a newer browser), so I can't find drivers.
My problem is that the icon doesn't show up and I can't find it in any applications I try. I know the Disney camera is a toy, its for my 5 year old, but I am having the identical problem with both the Disney camera and SanDisk. -

Cannot upload photos from iphone to iphoto
Since upgrading my Mac to OS Mavericks I have lost the facility of uploading photos from my iPhone to iPhoto.
I have iPhoto 8.1.2 and my phone runs iOS7 with iCloud.
Some advice has said refer to iPhoto Preferences and use the iCloud link there, but there is no iCloud link in my Preferences. I have tried to upgrade iPhoto, but discovered that it is only possible through iLife and I don't need all of that.
Any help would be appreciated.Give this a try:

This solved my questionRe: ios update problem - 7.1 11D167 iphoto not picking up new photos
Mar 20, 2014 7:15 AM (in response to JdinPa)
I figured out the fix for the Mac users having this problem. I connected my iPhone to my iMac and started iTunes. A dialogue came up in iTunes, I OK'd that and then OK'd the usual "Do you trust this Mac" that comes up on my iPhone.
Suddenly Image Capture launched itself and there were all my photos, ready to be downloaded.

When i imported photos from my iphone to iphoto they show as a box with a dotted outline
I uploaded photos from my iphone to iphoto. The event boxes say no photos. But in last import, they are all there as white line outlined boxes. I can see them when I scroll but not when I stop. If I click on one I get a triangle with an exclamation point.
That's an indication that iPhoto has broken the link/file path to the original file. make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2

I am unable to download photos from my iphone4 , SD card , SLR camera to my ipad2 using apple accessories , please help , it has worked once and then never again.
Plumchunks-
The only accessory I know of that can be used to transfer photos from a camera or SD card to the iPad, is the Apple Camera Connection Kit. The kit consists of two adapters. One has an SD card socket. The other has a USB connector to connect directly to the camera.
I do not think you can transfer photos from the iPhone to the iPad unless you first transfer them to a computer. If you then transfer the photos to an SD card, they must have eight character names plus suffix and be stored in a DCIM folder, just as if they came from a camera.
One thing you can try is to reboot the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Rebootting will not hurt anything and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.
