Why can't I import CR2 photos from a folder in my Mac into iPhoto 8.1.2?

My wife and I have separate iPhoto databases but to make our lives easier, I want to point my iPhoto to her database. Before I do that, I need to export a bunch of photos from my database and import them into her library. However, these photos are the RAW CR2 format and her iPhoto says it doesn't recognize the file format even though her library has hundreds of CR2 photos in it. When I try to go the other way and import a CR2 photo into my database, it works fine. Anybody have a clue as to the problem?

One possibility with music is that it is from a share source and identified as not paid for, I do not know the terminology, but i had to buy a song once to make it available in imovie, my original copy (no idea where i got it) would not show up. but this does not explain the photos not showing up.

Why can't i import raw photos from canon powershoot G2?

i have a powerbook with 1.25 G4 processor and am using iphoto 6.0.5. i also just installed the raw support update. i tried to import the photos again and no luck. i get this error message
"the following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)"
/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto/CRW_4307.CRW
/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto/CRW_4308.CRW

/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto/CRW_4310.CRW
any help would be great

Thanks for your reply my ginger,
I have looked at changing settings but until I can actually import the pics into iPhoto, I am reluctant to change anything. Reading the link you mention, it would appear that the pics should be imported into iPhoto 11 albeit in j-peg format so they can then be processed using the Raw converter. Think I will have to spend some time when I am not so busy looking into all the options, thought this was going to be a simple thing to put right.
Thanks again ,
Dave.

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

Why can I not import the videos from my iPhone 4 onto my desktop (Windows Vista)? When I plug in it imports the photos without a problem but it doesn't seem to import the videos.

1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Why can't I import CR2(raw) images

I just purchased Adobe PS Elements 8 to replace my 5.0. I was able to import pictures from my Canon Rebel xsi 450, via usb wire, except the CR2(raw) images. Once the import gets to these I get a pop up that states "Elements Organizer cannot obtain files from this device. Please ensure the device is connected properly, or that the battery is charged, and try again." My battery is fully charged and I disconnected and reconnected 2 x's. Why can't I import these photos?

My mistake, I was in a rush when I posted it. I ran some tests, and think I answered my own question:
It's a Canon T2i... Yes, I know I need Camera Raw 5.7. But when I try to install the RC of 5.7, I just get a message that it cannot be installed, please click quit (perhaps it only works with Photoshop cs4, not Elements 8?). So, as a test I loaded 5.6 (for Elements), and then tried to open a 7D cr2 file (which should be supported). It works fine... So, I'm wondering if I need to load a whole new version 5.7 to load the T2i files or if I can just load the 8Bi file from the new version? I'm not sure where that file would be in the install package. I have a feeling I'll just have to wait for the full version of 5.7 to come out...
Thanks for your reply.

When you enable Photo Stream on your devices, only new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your Photo Stream. Existing photos won't.

HT1657 Why can't I transfer rented movies from my iPad to my Mac?

Why can't I transfer rented movies from my iPad to my Mac? This is absolutely senseless and annoying! I rented the movie and should be able to watch it wherever I decide to!! A bit more concern for your clients, please...

I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto. The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all. How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto?

I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto. The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all. How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto? Even if there are duplicates, I'd like to make sure I get all the photos from my phone into iphoto. Thanks

To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.

Why can't I delete synced photos from my iPhone?

Early iPhones did not have especially good cameras, so this was not an issue. However, starting with the iPhone 4s, it became clear that iPhones would begin to replace standard point-and-shoot cameras. Space would soon become a problem. You could be on a trip and begin to run out of space and find that any photos you had synced using iTunes (before your trip) could not be deleted. Even if you had an iPad with more storage, you could not delete those older synced photos. Apparently, you were supposed to have brought your Mac or PC on the trip, just so that you could use iTunes To delete synced photos.
I don't understand Apple's rationale for this limitation.
As of this writing, Apple does not provide a tablet that runs iTunes. So it would seem that the only solution is to buy a PC tablet such as Microsoft surface tablet. Only then would you have a full fully portable tablet that would allow you to run the iTunes program to delete old synced photos and make more room on your iPhone.
Of course you can use airdrop to transfer photos from the iPhone camera roll to an iPad and then delete them from your iPhone, but why would you want to get rid of the newer photos on your iPhone rather than the old ones that had been synced before your trip?
SInce Apple does not offer a tablet that runs OS X (and therefore is iTunes capable), this policy would seem to be in advertisement for Microsoft.
Am I missing something?

When the new iCloud Photo Library and its accompanying Photo app for Mac is available, this problem will go away. In the mean time, you have another option. Instead of syncing albums or photos from your photo library onto your device, why not create a shared Photo Stream with the older photos you want to have with you? Those can be deleted as you wish.
Or, as Ralph suggested, if you are planning a trip, remove the excess photos before you leave so you do not run out of room.
Cheers,
GB

Why won't LR import my photos from my Sony a77?

When I tried to import my photos from my Sony a77 it imported but it wouldn't display the image. And when I went to my hard drive (where my catalog is) and viewed the images they had red lines through them. Why?

Try disconnecting your phone and see if it works.

Why can't I import a photo?

I have created a new project. I click on Media, then Photos, then select Library. When I scroll down to find the photos I want to use, iMovie unexpectedly quits. I have replicated this several times with the same results.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Imovie lets me drag and drop into a project window from the desktop. I use .jpg files. Are your photos .jpg or some other format? Below is Apple's video on importing photos from iphoto. I suspect if a photo will go into iphoto it will go into iMovie. If you cannot drag from the desktop, try putting it into iphoto and importing it that way.
