Unable to view photo browser to import photos

Friends,
I'm running FCPX 10.1. I am unable to easily view the photo browser to import photos. The screenshot below shows what I see when I click on the photo import pane:
The screenshot below shows what I see when I click on the under photos to display the entire photo (Aperture) library:
How can I fix this?
Thanks!
Steve

I also had the same problem. Then I open iMovie, clicked on the iPhoto and Aperture section. When I got back to FCP X my photos, Gearage Band sections were back. But the photo section must be selected before you quit FCP X. Then open open FCP X, and the photos en Garage Band and other audio effects will be back. But when you select another section like themes or transitions before you quit FCP X, the photo section wil be gone again and had to start the procedure again to get it back. That is my experience of the missing photos and audio effects.

I am unable to view who has liked my photo in facebook. The option of *others like is always disabled. I am using Iphone 4s. Installing the app again didnt help.. Also, I am unable to tag any friends. I am able to tag my friends only with the option WITH.

Are you using the Facebook app? Contact the developer.
Or, try deleting the App and then redownloading it.

On my Ipad 2, I deleted my photos from camera roll, photo stream and imported photos. I did not know that my photos were also being deleted from my albums. Is there anyway I can retrieve these photos from back up or from Icloud ? Pierre

If you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup you can restore to that.

How to view file size of imported photo

i plan to import a number of large photos from iphoto. i hesitate because each photo is between 20 and 50 MB. Will iweb scale this file down while importing? How can i find out about it? I did not find file information on the imported photo nor do i know the file location of the website project on my mac harddisk.
Do I have to use third party software like Photoshop to scale the size down and afterwards import them into iphoto and iweb?
Thank You,
Harpo

I think you should DEFINITELY scale your images down before importing them or dragging and dropping them into iWeb! If your images are in iPhoto, then you can use the "Export" command in iPhoto to export your images and specify what resolution they should be scaled to.
One of the issues I have with the iPhoto export function is that you have no control over the amount of JPG compression in the exported photos, which has a direct relationship to the resulting file size. So I like to use a program called "Downsize" http://www.stuntsoftware.com/Downsize/ which will allow you to specify maximum image dimensions as well as JPG compression. You will also then be able to check how large the resulting files are in the Finder before using them in iWeb.
Whenever you are scaling photos for use in iWeb, it's important to realize that any additional changes that you make to the photos in iWeb will cause the image to be converted from jpg to png. This may impinge on your ability to control the filesizes directly. The way to get around this is to scale your photos to exactly the size you want and then after dragging them into iWeb, click on the "Use original size" button in the Inspector Metrics tab. Also, don't apply any other effects to your images like rotation, frames, drop shadows... If you want these, you should do these in external applications as well. These are my recommendations only if you want to have complete control over your filesizes. It's certainly not required.
But as far as your 50mb images go, definitely scale them down before bringing them into iWeb. Otherwise, iWeb will rescale the images for you, but it will ALSO throw a copy of your 50mb file into your Domain file to refer to in publishing. This would cause your Domain file to balloon in size quite rapidly. To put things into perspective for you on this, the Domain file for my entire site is only 80mb.

How to hide duplicate photos that origins from the photo stream and imported photos?

Hi,
I are using my camera both with an IPad (through SD-card reader) and directly to my iMac.
I want to keep the full photo archive on the iMac.
Now the problem, that I encounter, is that if I use the iPad to look at the photos, those photos will be transfered to the photo-stream.
Then later when I import all my photos from the camera to the i Mac, those photos that I happened to import to the iPad will show up as duplicate in iPhoto.
Of course I only want one copy of a photo regardless if they arrive from the photo-stream or through a direct import to my iMac.
Is there a way to fix this problem or is it simply a bug?
I think it would be rather easy for the iPhoto software to detect duplicates and hide them.

You can use one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find dupicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: i photo has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but the only duplicate finder app that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates was PhotoSweeper. None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have diffferent file names.
iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates. IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

How do I extract original photo date when importing photos?

Hi,
I am trying to import photos from a backup CD of pictures that I created in August. However, when I import them into iPhoto, the date that gets associated with the photo is the August date of the CD creation instead of the original photo date.
I can see the original date of the photo image file, and I want that to be the date that iPhoto uses to organize the photos.
Is there any preference I can set to extract the date information from the image data itself and NOT from the date stamp on the CD file?
Thanks!
Jason

Please don't take the following as a flame...
<quote>The move option is grayed out when importing from a card to save you from yourself. At least that's what I've always assumed.</quote>
That's a bit draconian don't you think? Why have the option greyed out if you don't want the user to be able to do this. It's kind of like saying hahah, this is possible to do, but, you, the user, are a moron. Why even place the option on the page in the first place.
<quote>It just happens to be a bug that few on this forum care to see fixed because most of us feel that using it is unwise due to the danger of lost images and corrupted cards.</quote>
Again, why put it on page as an option if it weren't intended to be enabled in a plist somewhere for those who wish to be 'unwise.'
My logic is as follows: If Apple provides software that is more accessible to the 'unwashed masses' (because it's included with Leopard ie. Image Capture) and it deletes images directly from the camera, then why would a professional package (Aperture) limit the so called 'professional' from designing and using his/her own workflow governed by their own experience. Which could include first a backup to dvd or other device of your choice (keyword here: CHOICE) THEN import images and delete directly from the camera. Logically this is completely BACKWARDS, the app available to the 'masses'(Image Capture) should NOT let the user delete images directly from the camera and the 'professional' app (Aperture) should allow more flexibility for the advanced user who understands the implications of his/her work flow and adjusts accordingly.
Besides, And I quote myself "I have searched the forums here and have only seen people offer advice why this is not good. Not to be an A##, but I don't want advice. I need an answer to my question. How do I enable this functionality?"
Therefore, respectfully, your answer is: non sequitur.
Best Regards

I photo trying to import photos after SD card removed and will not close down?

i photo is trying to import photos after the SD card has been removed and won't let me close program?

Force Quit the app - it's under the Apple Menu.
Regards
TD

IPhoto is saying it can't close due tohoto is saying it can't close due to importing photos to library importing photos to lib

When I go to close IPhoto a window pops up saying "importing photos to library can't close". I can't turn off the Mac either. How do I fix this? There's no photos in IPhoto and I don't know what it's importing.

force quit (right click on the iPhoto icon in the dock and select force quit)

Lost iPOD photos and cannot import photos

Hi
I am currently travelling and have been downloading my few daily photos to my iPOD.
Last night I tried to download my photos from my camera to my iPOD but I received an error message that there had been an error while trying to import photos. Also all my other photo rolls are no longer there.
Any idea how i can retrieve my other photos and then download future days photo's as I keep getting the error message?
Thanks
Chris

I too lost photos and cannot transfer them to my computer!
I have been using my ipod out in the "field" to store my digital photos. Everything was working perfectly until yesterday. Now my imac G5 is not mounting the ipod. The techie at apple helped me but there is NO WAY to retrieve the digital photos that I can see on my ipod. Since the ipod will not mount on the imacG5 or my other G5 dual; and it will not mount as a disc, my only alternative is to restore the ipod. I will lose 3 days photo work and 4GB of images that were uploaded to the ipod and then I re-used the Compact flash cards!! I am outraged that apple will continue to tell people that the ipod connector and ipod work together!

IWeb and photo corrections and importing photos

Yeah, another iWeb problem. I both love and hate the application. I hadn't had this problem before now. I imported many, many photos into albums (via Aperture...) before noticing that the photos in download mode on my website were showing up at half the pixel size that the originals were. The photo download option is checked as 'original' so that's not it. I did a little checking and couldn't figure out why iWeb is importing these photos from Aperture at half size... So, I did an end run around it and dragged and dropped directly from the folder to iWeb. Great, right? Nope... started noticing that the photos that I am dragging in are not holding their corrections (mainly brightness/contrast) that I had applied in Photoshop. They show up fine in the folder, they look fine as I am dragging them, but when I release in the iWeb folder/page they lose their corrections? HUH?!?
No matter what I do (dragging them from the folder or from the desktop is the same...) they lose the corrections in iWeb... They still hold their corrections if I drag them from the Aperture sidebar in iWeb, but then they are half sized...
And no, the optimize images on import button is NOT checked, thought for sure that that would be the problem. Any thoughts, ideas on either problem, the size issues or the corrections... What determines the size that iWeb chooses for display? I notice that there are three listings when I upload them in FileZilla...
And on a side note, the preview images in the main album page show low res images... What controls the resolution for them and could this be somehow related?
I also tried to export a photo from Aperture which shows the correct resolution of 1280 X 1280 to the Desktop and got a correct 1280 X 1280 image. Dragged it into iWeb and it kept the corrections as well, but when published, the website displays a half size image with a 640 X 640 download size... Sigh...

Did you reboot? That often clears out caches and corrects errant behavior in apps. That and deleting the preference file. Either that or offering the right sacrifice to the computer gods.

Upgrading iPhone 3GS to iOS4 unable to import photos to iPhoto

After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS4, I am unable to import photos to iPhoto. Also, iPhone does not turn up in iPhoto. Unable to find other ways to import photos from iPhone. No problems importing before upgrade. Anyone with a god solution?

I too had troubles with iPhoto and the iPhone Photo app. They are solved for now. Problem description and action take are as follows.
Problem 1 - Got a new iPhone 4 and upgrade my wife's iPhone 3GS to iOS 4. For both phones, when I connected them to iTunes to sync and selected on the Photo tab to sync my entire iPhoto library, nothing synced to the iPhones.
Solution 1 - I opened iPhoto to ensure my photo collection was indeed there. I closed iPhoto and tried to sync the phones again. This time, the sync took place, taking a long time since the thumbnail photo collection had to be created.
Problem 2 - I knew the photos were on the phones since the sync was complete. On the new iPhone 4, I could see the photos when I selected events or faces or places. The albums tab was blank. On the 3GS, it still looked like there were no photos.
Solution 2 - I shut down the iPhones holding both home key and the power button. I waited a minutes and restarted. Upon restart, both Photo apps displayed my photo collections properly - at least for now.

Importing photos from old iPhone into iPhoto

I've just upgraded an iPhone and am trying to get the photos off the old one onto the computer. Using iPhoto because that's what I've used before. The iPhone is connected via USB and iTunes recognizes it but iPhoto doesn't show it at all, so there's no chance to import anything. Any ideas why the device is not showing up to iPhoto, even while it does show up to iPhoto? Be advised, I have not backed up to the Cloud at all so Photo Stream is not enabled.
And a secondary question: why in the heck would iTunes be set up, under the Photos tab, to import photos FROM the computer TO the iPhone? That's all I can get it to do at least. Why in the world would I want to move photos in that direction, if the iPhone is the camera and the comptuer hard drive is the storage device?

So you can view pics from your computer on your iphone. For most, then iphone is not the only camera they ever use. In fact, it is likely not the main camera you would use.

Mail: Where is Photo Browser Icon in Toolbar? or Stationery Icon?

Ive been trying to figure out how to work with the Mac mail program. I cant tell you all the problems Ive been having. Was on the phone with Apple care for 90 minutes yesterday and ended the call with nothing resolved. Ugh
Anyway, this should be simple. In the help menu and the tutorials, they mention a Photo Browser Icon that you can put in the toolbar on the top of the page. The problem is I cant find it.
Ive done VIEW/CUSTOMIZE TOOLBAR and when the customized toolbar options come up, I DONT SEE ANYTHING FOR A PHOTO BROWSER
Is it possible that the tutorials and help menus are out of date and there is no longer a photo browser icon? If you have it, can you tell me exactly where on the customize tool bar menu you find it - cuz I am not seeing one. Im using Mail 5.0 with Lion.
I also notice you can access the Photo Browser by WINDOW/PHOTO BROWSER but Im looking for the toolbar icon. I just cant find it anywhere.
Just reading the help menu, it also said there should be a Stationery icon in the toolbar, and again I dont see that option either. Does that even exist in t his version because I dont see it at all?

Thank you.
The help and tutorial were showing it in the overall toolbar...I see now its in a toolbar that is featured in the new message panel. I dont know if that is a Lion difference maybe?
Are the different formatting options/colors/fonts/stationery etc things that would be visible if you send emails to people who are not using Macs or Apple products? For example if someone is accessing Yahoo on a PC, will they see what you're sending?
I also saw a priority button - Just curious how that works - Is that priority for the sender, recipient?
(And its a different topic but in case you know, In Text Edit, is there a preview window before printing so I can see the layout and know where to put page breaks? Thanks again.
