Unreadable files (may not have valid data)

I posted this message on the MacOSX forums website. Any help here will be greatly appreciated.
Hi
I am trying to import some photos from my 7.2 mp Sony Cybershot camera onto iPHOTO. When i click import, it prompts me to "skip over" those i have already imported and, when i do, it pauses and an error message comes up.

The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).

This question is posed to those who have either a) used and is familiar with the Cybershot system and its troubleshooting and b) received the same error message and have troubleshooted or fixed the problem.
Thanks much for any future help. I hope someone can come to my rescue!

please note that this has only recently began to occur. I have about 100 pictures in my library that I have successfully imported into my library. I read the help section on this problem located in iPHOTO help and it told me that "the files may not be picture files." In my experience, .jpg is a picture file so i sort of rules that out (and also the fact that the help was directed to those with iPHOTO 2.0).
Thank you so much for any help!
Sedukai
p.s. also note that when i try to eject the camera (put the desktop pic into the trash) it says that it is in use and i should "quit the program".

Sedukai:
To rule out the files themselves use Image Capture, located in your Applications folder, to upload those files to the Desktop first. Then try to import from there.
If they don't import from there are there any setting on the camera that might have been changed, i.e. file type or the like. Also make sure there's an extension on the file and it's not been left off for some reason.
Do you Twango?

  • IPhoto says it cannot import my photos b/c they may be an unrecognized file or the file may not contain valid data. The operation could not be completed. Error code is: ImageCaptureCoreError-9905.

    Unable to download photos from my camera. iPhoto returns an error message that states: The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file or the files may not contain valid data). FILE NAME: 100_0490.JPG      REASON: com.apple.ImageCaptureCoreError- 9905.  WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?  Did not have a problem importing photos under the LEOPARD OS, however, now that I have upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 the iPHOTO app is not performing the imports.

    Are you using Photos, or iPhoto? Maybe you've got a corrupt file on your camera. I would try using the image capture application to import the bad picture to my desktop. If it works and the picture looks ok,  then delete that pic from the camera, then try to import into iphoto again. You can then import the pic it was saying was bad from your desktop.
    Or, try downloading all the pics using image capture and then import from the download folder.

  • Photo will not upload my pictures from the same camera that always worked in IPhoto.  Says "could not be imported (may be unrecognized file type or files may not contain valid data).  So how do I do it?

    Photo will not upload new photos from same camera that always worked in IPhoto.  Says "could not be uploaded )may be unrecognized file type or files may not contain valid data).  Help!

    Try image capture or a card reader - after the photos are safely on your Mac then use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card

  • TDMS index files does not have meta data but indicates presence of raw data in the TDMS file??

    Hello All,
    I am working on reading TDMS Index files into Matlab. So far i have been fairly successful in reading them when the data has been acquired for a short period of time (checked at 2 min). However when a 15 minute data has been acquired, in a few segments the meta information is not present but a variable in the header info for that particular segment says raw data is present. Does anybody know if sometimes meta information is not available but the raw data is actually present (segment wise) in the TDMS file?
    Many Thanks,

    That means the segment shares the same meta information with the previous segment. It doesn't have any new properties. Its raw index information is the same as previous.
    You could use the meta information of the previous segment to read the raw data of this segment. Hope this helps,

  • Infopath 2013 SOAP Web Service Data Connection - Error: The file is not a valid XML file

    Here are the steps to replicate the issue I’m having when adding lists.asmx or any other SharePoint web service in InfoPath 2013. This web service opens fine in the browser from my desktop. My account is a farm administrator and is added to the
    web application’s User Policy.  I can use these services just fine using Nintex 2013 Workflow.
    Open InfoPath Designer 2013.
    Select Blank Form and click Design Form button.
    Click “Data” tab.
    Click “From Web Service” and select “From SOAP Web Service”
    Enter https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL for the web service definition.
    Click Next.
    Windows Security window pops up.
    Enter a credential. I tried both my account and the farm account. My account is a farm admin and is added to the web application’s User Policy with Full Control.
    Click OK. It prompts for credential multiple times.
    I get below this error messages: 
    Sorry, we couldn't open https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL
    InfoPath cannot find or cannot access the specified Web Service description.
    The file is not a valid XML file.
    Not enough storage is available to process this command.
    We have a project that is in need of these services using InfoPath so any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Brian_TX,
    For your issue, try to the following methods:
    Change your service binding in web.config to:binding="basicHttpBinding". It seems in VS it defaults to wsHttpBinding.
    Replace all instances of "parameters" from the web service wsdl with the name "parameter"
    There are some similar articles about the issue, you can have a look at them:

  • "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file, you may not have appropriate permission to access the item" Why?

    Whenever i try to access any folder on my computer(Windows 7), it tells me "Windows
    cannot access the specified device, path, or file, you may not have appropriate permission to access the item",
    this happens even for My
    Computer and Control Panel. It's driving me nuts! I'll be honest here, I was trying to uninstall Visual
    Studio 2013 Communityfrom my computer by going to Programs
    and Features but for some reason, it was getting stuck at "Configuring
    Your System". After trying it numerous times, I went to the visual studio installation directory, and removed
    the installation files from there. I even removed the files from the C:\Program
    Data folder, then i went back to Programs
    and Features and tried to remove the listing there, but I got a dialog box saying "you
    don't have sufficient access to uninstall visual studio" . I googled this problem and found this  solution
    (http://superuser.com/a/174198)
     then i tried using the solution, I used SubinAcl and
    changed the registry permissions as mentioned in the solution and ended up like this!
    All the access permissions are set correctly (that's what I can make out...)
    Please Help!

    Hi
    Some required information are needed for us to help you.
    Hi NabeelOmer,
    We wonder if you have taken any action such as system restore after this issue occurred.
    You might also try this command to restore your access control list.
    Run this command to navigate to the drive letter, example is D
    D:
    To reset all permissions, run this command
    icacls * /reset /t /c /q
    Visual Studio is a very invasive program and which provides the ability to enumerate projects and solutions for system, user should never try uninstalling it manually without any guidance.
    Visual Studio made changes for your whole system, if the file has been moved or deleted this error would occur.
    Since you mentioned that you get this error almost everywhere even in control panel. We suggest you repair/reinstall your Visual Studio first and check if it could be fixed.
    How to: Repair Visual Studio

  • How do I move a movie I have synced from iTunes into the "Movies" tab of the Video App? I need to access a slideshow I made in IMovies and may not have WiFi. I did it once, but can't figure out how to do it again! The file is an m4v. Thank you!

    How do I move a movie I have synced from iTunes into the "Movies" tab of the Video App? I need to access a slideshow I made in IMovies and may not have WiFi. I did it once, but can't figure out how to do it again! The file is an m4v. Thank you!

    Im just guessing but it seems like you would have to get your movie into the correct folder on a computer then use iTunes to sync it to your iPad. If you've synced to a computer and have movies then on your computer should be a folder with the movie in it. You could export your iMovie to something like Dropbox then download from Dropbox to the folder you think it needs to be in the sync your iPad again. Again this is just a guess. Others may have a better answer.

  • Errors in the high-level relational engine. The data source view does not contain a definition for the table or view. The Source property may not have been set.

    Hi All,
    I have a cube in which i'm using the TIME DIM that i created in the warehouse. But now i wanted a new measure in the cube which is Average over time and when i wanted to created the new measure i got a message that no time dim was defined, so i created a
    new time dimension in the SSAS using wizard. But when i tried to process the new time dimension i'm getting the follwoing error message
    "Errors in the high-level relational engine. The data source view does not contain a definition for "SSASTIMEDIM" the table or view. The Source property may not have been set."
    Can anyone please tell me why i cannot create a new measure average over the time using my time dimension? Also what am i doing wrong with the SSASTIMEDIM, that i'm getting the error.
    Thanks

    Hi PMunshi,
    According to your description, you get the above error when processing the time dimension. Right?
    In this scenario, since you have updated the DSV, it should have no problem on the table existence. One possibility is that table has been specified for tracking in the notifications for proactive caching, but isn't available any more for some
    reason. Please change the setting in Proactive Caching into "MOLAP".

  • When I try to open iTunes, I get this error message: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. I get a different error message if I try to uninstall it.

    When I try to open iTunes, I get this error message: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I've been able to uninstall all Apple products except iTunes as I get this error message: "The Installer has insufficent privileges to modify this file: C:\Program Files\i Tunes\Acknowledgments.rtf." I've had the iTunes on my laptop for a year and a half with no problems until now.

    I'm at my wits end here. Is libflashsupport.so actually needed in Ubuntu 10.10 and if so where would I find it? If not does anyone know of another issue that could be responsible for this?

    hello,
    I have the same issue, Ubuntu 10.10, flashplayer 10.3rc1
