Why is iPhoto not identifying my SD card?

I have got two SD cards, both are EXACTLY the same however when i plug one in and open iPhoto it atomatically recognises the SD card and i can browse pictures etc, however, when i put in the other i get nothing doesn't come up what so ever in iPhoto... i have looked at the 'get info' to check both cards are exactly the same and they are so why is it not working ???

It doesn't see it. or it doesn't show it?
See it: Does System Information or Disk Utility show it?
Show it: Is Finder set to display external disks?
Finder > Preferences > General > Show these items on the desktop > External disks
Finder > Preferences > Sidebar > Show these items in the sidebar > DEVICES > External disks

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

Why does iphoto not copy all photos when transfering

Hi peeps.
why does iPhoto not copy all photos from an event when im copy/pasting to an external folder on my mac(for later transfer). All softwares are up to date and ive only just realised it happens, but when i copy all pics in an event then paste in a folder, the pic count is substantially different. for example i select all pictures in an event called 'new1', the count of files is 188. i then copy/ paste to a folder, select all files and check 'info' and it says 141 files???
all i can see painstakingly going through to compare which images are in each place is that the ones that arent in my new folder , seem to be the ones ive edited in iPhoto?? conincidence? or am I missing something fundamental here? Ive only just realised this is occuring. The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space. So basically all of the versions of pictures I want, i.e, the new edited and adjusted versions are no longer! NOT HANDY!
help please.

We've seen a few reports of this in the past while and no one is sure of the cause.
Use the File -> Export command. See this User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
for details of the options the Export Dialogue offers.

The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.
means you are losing quality, metadata and the version of control. If you don't want these why use iPhoto at all?
You could just move the whole Library to an external:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

HT201386 Why is iphoto not supporte by ios8 anymore??

Why is iphoto not supported from ios8 anymore?! I put alot of work in slideshows and now i cant use them anymore?! That really makes me angry, why are u keep making it worse and more complicated than it already is with every new update!

Please write this to Apple using the feedback form, so the developer team will see it. This is a user-to-user forum, and we cannot do anything about it.

Why is iphoto not supported from ios8 anymore?!
Making iPhoto run on iOS8 would have required to a major upgrade and rewriting of code, since the the parts of iOS that support image processing changed considerably. Apple decided to release a new Photos.app to replace iPhoto instead of upgrading iPhoto. See this help documents:
Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8
Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8
When you send feedback to Apple, be sure to request the features that are missing from Photos and need to be upgraded, if Photos is really to be a replacement for iPhoto. So far, Photos is very basic, and does not yet offer, what has been lost by killing iPhoto.

Why will IPhoto not import a PDF image now - it has previously?

Why will iphoto not import a PDF image now - it has previously?

This feature was removed with iPhoto 11. You'll need to ask Apple why:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
In the meantime you can convert a pdf to jpeg or tiff using Preview.

HT1918 why can I not change my payment card

why can I not change my payment card?

This region thing and reset limit is not new. It was put in place since the medium debuted in the 90's. It is a means of controlling content distribution to the studios benefit. For instance, launch Avatar II in the US, milk the local moviegoers while creating expectation, then slowly release it to different regions of the world. Or keep the pesky Euro movies out of the US market to avoid eating into the meager sales.
Some directors loathe this with a PASSION. That's why Peter Jackson released the home version of Lord of the Rings Trilogy simultaneously worldwide.

Why is iPhoto NOT available for ipad2 ?

Why is iphoto not available as an app for ipad2 ? The photos application which comes with the ipad is very limited as you are unable to edit or resize photos or really do anything with them except store or email them.
Since Pages & Keynote are available as apps for ipad why isn't iphoto ?
Wondering
Fiona

The short answer is because Apple havn't made an iOS version of it, and I don't think that they've released a reason as to why not. There are apps in the iTunes App Store that let you resize etc e.g. PS Express

Why does iphoto not accept my phone number when filling out shipping info for buying cards??

Im trying to generate some thank you cards in iphoto 11 and when paying for them, it wont accept my telephone number in the Primary number box, which is in the delivery contact bit in the shipping information box. The telephone number keeps going red and i cant get any further with ordering the thank you cards. I have been to Itunes to check my billing and payment information and im using the same telephone number so i cant see why it wnt do it?? Please help as these thank you cards are from my kids to grandparents and other family members and my wife is getting irate at me, because i havent done what should be a simple thing!!!!!
Many thanks if you can help.

Try going to the Apple store (store.apple.com) and re-entering it in your account there and be sure that one click ordering is turned on and try again
Also I'v eseen reports that number of digits can cause this if you are in an area that uses a different number of digits - I believe that someone reported that they had to move one digit to another field to get it to work - you might search the fourms for that post

Why does iphoto not play my movies

I have a macbook pro. I have transferred photos and movies from SD cards that are otherwise part of my Nikon D 5100 and Panasonic TZ 40. After initially loading the photos and movies, all movies were playing as expected. However, somewhere after updating to OX 10.9.4 they have stopped playing. The icon for the movie still shows, but the time of the movie appears as ZERO. When I click to play, the movie loads begins to play but ends almost immediately.
Currently the movies are not playing.

Select one of the videos in iPhoto and user the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option. Does that take you to the full video file in the Masters folder? COPY it to the desktop and see if it will play with Quicktime Player.
When you rebuild the library what options did you select?

Why does iPhoto not launch after update to version 9.3.2?

Double clicking the application icon causes it to bounce 3 or 4 times in the dock and then quits. Trying to open with command + option will not launch for a rebuild. Holding down the option key illicits the same behavior.
How can I downgrade to 9.3.1 or make 9.3.2 work? It was working perfectly before the upgrade.
My other computer (a recent MacBook Pro) shows 9.3.1 version and software update shows it's up to date. It works great.

Still will not launch in new user account.
