It happens on my iMac, and now that I have transferred some photos from that computer to my MacBook it is happening there, too. If I say that I don't want to import it, it "saves" it automatically to a file somewhere on the hard drive. That folder appears empty when opened, so I'm not sure what it's saving. Every time I open iPhoto it asks me twice before I can proceed, and creates two neat little folders with nothing in them. If I say that I do want to import the mystery photo, it plunks the nothing that has not been imported in to a Recovered Photos album. Once again, nothing there. Any ideas as to how to fix this problem?
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder. -
When I import my photos from my iPhone 4S into iPhoto the location does not appear. I have to open the info button on the photo click "photo place" then "find on map" and then the location appears. How to I get the location to appear automatically when I import my photos from my iPhone?
in your iPhoto preferences is look up location set to "automaticaly"?

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. I am trying to import photos from my older Canon EOS-1D for the first time since my OS upgrade. iPhoto does not see the camera nor does Image Capture. IC says there is not a camera connected. Cable is known good. Has something changed? Thanks!
If neither iPhoto not IC can seethe card it might suggest an issue with the card or the ports on the camera/mac.
Try reformat the card, change the ports and/or use a USB Card Reader. -
Does this mean I cannot import from CD,or am I doing something wrong,.

Why do only some of the photos I would like to import from my ipad2 appear in iphoto?
A friend of mine shared some photos via photostream so that I can edit them into a movie. I selected all the photos that were shared and added them to my camera roll on my ipad2. After connecting my ipad2 to my macbook pro via usb, iphoto opens up and displays the pictures that I am allowed to import when devices(ipad) is selected. I only see some of the photos available for import. What happend to all the photos from my camera roll? Why aren't they available to import? I also noticed all my other photos on the camera roll, besides the ones saved from the photo stream, are not showing.
If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days. After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted. Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi. -
when I download from my samsung camera, the photos do not go to the "photos" file. I have to download to "import" then copy them to a separate album. what am I doing wrong?are
Is iPhoto open when you connect the camera and are you seeing the camera in iPhoto?
If not then describe in detail how you're going about trying to import photos from your Samsung camer into your iPhoto Library. From what you've described we have no idea what's going on.
And where is this "import" folder located that you're referring to?

While trying to import photos from my Canon 5D markIII, iPhoto displays an error message which says unreadable format and the following files could not be imported. Please advise???
the screen shot does not display (a Forum bug ) and if it did it does not answer the questions
Seriously we can not see you and if you refuse to answer simple questions we can not help
Need information to help
what version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.8 as you state correct for the OS? Has it ever worked? What has changed since it worked? Will Image Capture ( in your applications folder) import the photos? How are you importing - USB to the camera? USB card reader? built in card reader?
Any other clues that would help a total stranger who can not see you or your computer assist you?

Mac Pro Book
Mac OS X 10.7.5
iPhoto 11 9.4.2
importing photos into iphoto, shows "Photo cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library."
tried creat new library, same thing.
currently only has 2,500 photos in iPhoto
Importing about 500 photos, but cant do it due to the message showed above.
Who knows how to fix it?How much free space do you have on your hard drive? Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. -
I make annotations to my photos in iphoto using preview. But once I have made the annotation I do not get the photo back into the event in iphoto from which I took the photo. What am I doing wrong? I am not using aperture
For the annotations to display on the photo in iPhoto you must setup Preview as the external editor in iPhoto via iPhoto's Advanced preference pane.
After adding the annotations just do a Save. iPhoto will then recognize the change via a new modified version. You can revert to the original at any time if you want to get rid of the text.

iPhoto - When I add new photos to iPhoto from my iMac they do not appear in the "Photos" library. They do appear in Last Import. Any thoughts?
If you are seeing your photos in "Last Import", the photos are somewhere in your library. Perhaps the dates are wrong, and you do not see the photos arranged by date, where you expect them to be.
Select one of the photos on "Last Import", then ctrl-click it and select "Show in Event". That will take you to the event in event view. -
I can no longer import photos from my PC because I get this message: iPhoto cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library. How can I fix this problem?
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. .

Why is it that when I text pictures, the recipient does not receive them. I've noticed that I have a camera roll which is where I choose pics from, but nothing in Photo Stream. Can someone please let me know what the issue might be? Thank you!
Some phones can only send and recieve SMS messages. If the recipients phone doesn't support MMS they won't be able to recieve a text with a photo.
To get your photos in Photo Stream, you'll need to setup iCloud. Check out this Apple article for more info -> iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ -
