Why no "Places" for imported photos?

Right now, most of my photos on the iPhone were imported using Photo Stream (which means they were taken on the iPhone, saved to my computer, then reimported to the iPhone using Uploads in Photo Stream.)  The iPhone will not display the "Place" for any of the reimported photos (although all those photos still have location data).  Any idea why this is, or how to solve?

Hi,
First of all, this is a user-user forum and although some employess do pop in from time to time, Adobe don't monitor this one.
It could be that your problem is not that common which is why you haven't had any other replies.
It is possible that your thumbnail cache has become corrupted. Here are some suggestions for fixing the problem: http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Recrea te_Organizer_thumbnails
Can I assume you are using Windows?
Have you tried right clicking on one of the hour glasses and selecting Update Thumbnail to see if that one gets generated?
Good luck
Brian

  • TS3195 My mac mini (Snow Leopard, v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone 4, iphone 4s or ipad2 in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview but it does in iTunes.  I am at a loss for importing photos, short of emailing them.  Glitch with OS X 10.6.8 ?

    My Mac Mini (v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone as a device in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview although, iTunes does.  I am at a loss for importing photos other than emailing them to myself. Same problem with my iphone 4, iphone 4s, ipad2 and New iPad. Is this a problem with OS X 10.6.8 as I read some posts claim? Please help.

    I was able to import photos in iPhoto and Image capture when I was running SL 10.6.8 on my older MacBook.
    Did you try quitting everything, restart the Mac and then try again?
    Are there any updates at all for the Mac? I was helping one user not all that long ago and there were updates for her Mac software that had nothing to do with the OS and when she downloaded the updates - the iPad was then recognized in iTunes.

  • Why does LR 3.4 (final) display "!" for imported photos?

    I imported some photos from memory card into LR 3.4 (final). When I went into the Develop Module the Exclamation Mark for "Update to Current Process (2010)" was displayed besides these photos. Why is that? The photos were imported by LR 3.4 (final); so should the Current Process not be applied on import? Or was it applied and the Exclamation Mark notification is somewhat buggy?
    WW

    You are right: It was my Develop Preset that still carried the old Process Version.
    I did an "Update with Current Settings" to my Preset after I had updated the photo to the current Process Version.
    Photos imported with the updated Develop Preset do not show the "!".
    Conclusion: LR 3.4 still carries the old Process Version in Develop Presets created before LR 3.
    Only when you update the Develop Presets with Current Settings, and
    a) make sure that the photo is in the current Process Version, and
    b) the box "Process Version" in the dialog is checked
    will Develop Presets apply the current process Version.
    Now, is this a design flaw, or not?
    You could argue for both sides, but I'm inclined to call it a design flaw.

  • How to set image size for importing photos from a digital camera

    I'm using Iphoto 6 and am a novice user of my new digital camera. The camera is set to HQ image quality. Initially when I imported photos from the camera into IPhoto, the images were very large (over 1 meg) and produced good quality 4X6 prints. Now when I import photos from the same camera still set to HQ image quality, the photos are very small (less than 100 kb) after being imported into IPhoto. I think I must have changed some kind of setting in IPhoto that affects the size of an imported image, but I can't find where that is or how to change it back so that the size is not changed when imported. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks!

    Dave, thanks for clarifying Toad's response for me - I was just too ignorant to connect the dots from his responses. As you said, there were 2 versions - 1 in the original folder and 1 in data; the original folder had the photos that were 1 mb. We must have pulled from that folder previously to print photos not realizing they existed in 2 places. So when we found these thumbnail photos, we just thought they were the real thing. Where can you go to learn about the struction and hierarchy of the photos in terms of what Iphoto does to an image when you import it? Is it in Iphoto help somewhere? Thanks so much for your help with this, and you too Toad for leading me down the path.
    If you're getting the size from Finder, I think Old
    Toad's question makes a lot of sense. Is the file
    you're looking at, somewhere in a folder called
    "Data" in iPhoto Library? That 56k sounds about the
    right size for a thumbnail.
    If you do a search for the image name, both the
    actual photo and the small thumbnail are stored with
    the same image, e.g. abc.jpg

  • Why can't i import photos from a different user account?

    Why when i import photos to iphoto from my user account it works fine. If i try importing them from the other user account it the photo it shows the event folder in the events page but when you go into it there are no photos, and when you close the app it dissappears completely. I dont understand why it is doing this? The iphoto library is actually from the other user account so there shoudnlt be any sharing issues. The only thing is that i iorignially installed on the other user account but it all started when i updated it to iphoto11 and installed it on my account. that shouldnt make a difference though??
    Also if it is not possible to be able to import from both accounts how can i change it so that the other account is able to import only and not from my account?

    I have the same iphoto library selected for both user acounts
    How?
    and share my photos is checked on both accounts from preferences.
    If they use the same Library, why are you sharing this way?

  • Why can't I import photos saved onto my iphone hard drive onto my computer to delete them off my phone?

    Every time I try to import photos onto iphoto I am only allowed to import photos I have taken on my iphone 5s, but not from my previous phone. I cannot upgrade my phone because I have so many photos on it. I want to delete the photos that were transferred onto my iphone from my previous phone, but I can't find them using my laptop.

    I am struggling with similar difficulties.
    I use an iMac G5 (Power PC) and a Canon PowerShot G6, which have been compatible with each other for 14 months. A couple of weeks ago, the Canon's rechargable battery ran low and, instead of connecting the camera to the iMac via the USB cable, I removed the SanDisk CompactFlash Ultra II card and imported photos on it via a SanDisk upload USB device. [The G6 manual recommends connecting the camera only when the battery is fully charged.] After the battery recharged, I took more photos and tried to upload them via the original Canon-supplied USB cable, but iPhoto did not launch. Because the camera turns on and indicates it's connected , I know it's not the USB cable [I actually ordered a new one, but the results are the same]. I've tried reformatting the SanDisk card in the camera, but this hasn't corrected the problem. However, if I connect the SanDisk device with card to the USB hub, iPhoto launches, identifying the device as "CANON_DC", complete with the little "eject" icon.
    What am I forgetting? What would be the next step? Reinstalling the Canon software?

  • Background for imported photos...

    Hello,
    I am just curious to know if there is a way of changing the background color for an imported photo. I notice that when I import a photo, the default background color is black. Can this be changed? It would be cool to have a different color background or even better another picture to enchance the photo being shown.
    Is this something iMovie is capable of or is it something that can be changed in iPhoto.
    THanks

    The short answer is no. Black is the default and it cannot be changed. To get rid of the black around your photos, you will need to crop the photos or zoom in enough to eliminate the black. I have found, though, that a lot of my photos need to be viewed as vertical in their entirety. I really don't notice the black because I am more interested in the content of the photo.
    You can create color clips from black ones to use a spacers or titles. See iMovie help for the how-to for this.
    And, as Bengt said, you could alter the color in Photoshop and then import your new photo with its 'cool' color background!

  • Why can't I import photos into iphoto suddenly?

    I suddenly started having problems upload new photos from my Canon powershot s45. When I try to import new photos I get the message "couldn't create ://volumes/davedrive/users/davidneu/pictures/iphotolibrary/2207/04/14/img_7344- 1.jpg
    or some such similar message. Then follows a window "files couldn't be imported unrecongized file type or may not contain valid data". The same happens with photos from the web, Mail, or my desktop. I'm running osx 10.4.8 on my venerable G4 dual 1ghz. I do have over 6000 photos but over 6 gb of hd space left. I can open the photos in photoshop and preview and they appear fine but a resave as tiff doesn't help and if I try image capture it crashes after downloading one photo (the only way I can get them onto the computer is one at a time using image capture. Disk utility didn't help nor did reformatting the cf card. Any thoughts? thanks a lot...Dave

  • Why can't i import photos from my Samsung Galaxy SII

    In the past I have been able to import photos from my phone, a Samsung Galaxy SII. For some reason, I am no longer able to do this. When I connect the phone by USB, two "cameras" appear under Devices in iPhoto. One titled "NO NAME" and one titled "Untitled". Both appear to be empty, neither has any photos available for download. However the phone appears to be functioning properly in all respects. I can take new photos and see in the Gallery that there are any number of images which I have not yet downloaded to my Mac.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting this issue?

    A couple of people have mentioned an issue with this device. It appears that the OS is not storing the images in the standard way. Can you use another method to get the pics to your Mac? Bluetooth?

  • Why can't I import photos into Lightroom 5.6?

    I have Lightroom 5.6 on a Mac and when I click import, none of my photos will show up to import. I have deleted and re-downlaoded the program and updated it. I don't know what to try next. It has been working for the past year and a half and now it just won't work.

    Thank you for your response.
    Here is as much information as I can remember pertaining to my problem.
    -Canon T3i,
    -SD card is a Sandisk 16 GB Extreme Plus 80MB/s
    -Windows 7 professional
    -Lightroom 5.3, recently upgraded from 5.2. Not sure if there is a
    correlation there with my importing
    problem.
    -I have been able to import images in the past and able to manipulate them.
       I select the import button, I then select the images to import, then
       select a new destination folder as I have always successfully done in the
       past, then click IMPORT.
       This is the point at which Lightroom deviates from the norm and slows to
       a crawl while importing the images. After a 1 ½ hour wait, I get a message
       stating that none of the images I have selected for import have been
       imported due to them being unreadable by Lightroom, or words to that
       effect. It lists ALL of the files that I had selected for import.
    I have checked all the permissions of the files and have found no hidden
    or locked images. I have watched every video I can find explaining the
    proper method of importing images, written the steps down one-by-one, and
    followed the instructions EXACTLY, numerous times.
      Any help will be greatly appreciated!

  • Why can't I import photos?

    Everytime I plug in my digital camera, it automatically loads up iPhoto and then it says "Loading Photos" and the spinner goes, and it never stops and loads pics. It says there's no camera attached. When I try to import photos under File, I select a folder and then it just cancels out of iPhoto. What should I do?!?!

    Hi Lizzzzard,
    To fix your iPhoto Library do this:
    Close iPhoto
    Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
    Drag this library to your desktop
    Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
    This is the window you will get
    Create a new library or choose a library to open
    Choose to create a new library
    Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
    Go to File>add to library
    Navigate to the old library on your desktop and choose it.
    iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
    This is what to expect:
    Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
    Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
    You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
    You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
    It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
    Good luck!

    There's a program called "File Manager" that lets you move/copy and delete files from your device. It's usually under Tools.
    If you put videos in "My Videos" folder I think they don't show up in the Gallery. Also files in "Videos" don't show up in Video Center but they do in the Gallery.
    What do you mean "memory search"?,
    About the little shield, I have no idea what it means. I guess it's about the DRM protection, but I'm not 100% sure.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • Incorrect rotation for imported photos

    Greetings,
    I just bought a new iMac from a retail Apple Store today, and I wanted to migrate all of my photos from my Windows 7 PC to the iMac.  First, I updated all of the software on the iMac to the latest versions.  I copied all of the photos (about 4,000) from the PC to a USB thumb drive.  I inserted the thumb drive into the iMac.  Then I opened iPhoto and imported all of the photos from the thumb drive.
    The problem is that many of the imported photos display in iPhoto with the incorrect orientation.  They all look correct on the PC.
    I can't perceive a pattern as to which photos are rotated correctly and which are rotated incorrectly.  My photo collection contains a mix of portrait and landscape photos, and I can find examples of both types which are rotated correct and incorrectly.
    If I select one of the incorrectly rotated photos and click File->Reveal in Finder->Original File, interestingly, the thumbnail for the file appears correctly rotated in the folder.  If I open the file, it appears incorrectly rotated in the preview.  Clicking File->Reveal in Finder->Modified File produces a file with an incorrectly rotated thumbnail.
    Because I'm dealing with over 4,000 files, the number of incorrectly rotated photos is in the hundreds, so I really don't want to go through my entire library and manually rotate the bad ones.  Any help is much appreciated.

    After some experimentation, I think I tracked down the cause:
    Today on my PC, I tried running a lossless auto-rotater program on all of the photos.  Sure enough, many of the photos that previously appeared to be rotated correctly were rotated incorrectly by the auto-rotater.  These incorrectly rotated photos match the incorrectly rotated photos in iPhoto on the Mac.  All of the incorrectly rotated photos seemed to be dated from 2007 or earlier.  I vaguely recall using some third-party app on an older PC back then that would automatically extract photos from my camera and losslessly auto-rotate them.  My suspicion is that this app would rotate the photos without correctly adjusting the orientation component of the EXIF data.
    My solution was to browse through all of the photos caught by my auto-rotater and fix them manually.  Since they were all from 2007 or older, it wasn't so bad to go through all of them.
    Thanks to everyone for the help.  You were clearly on the right track.

  • Advice needed for importing photos from Picasa

    Hi, tomorrow I'm helping a friend migrate all his photos from his old Windows PC to his new iMac. I'm not very familiar with Picasa and was hoping someone here would know more about it than I do.
    The photos are likely scattered all over his computer so it's not a simple matter of just grabbing a photo directory and moving it to the iMac. I read that Picasa lets you export photos but it also has a backup feature. Does anyone know what the best way would be to gather up all the photos and get them placed into a directory (or rather a series of nested directories) for importing?
    Also, if they have entered any photo titles or descriptions in Picasa, will those just get lost? Same with albums, those will be lost too, right?
    Thanks!

    Hi, I did some research and figured it out, and thought I'd post my results here in case it can help someone else someday.
    There are two ways to get photos out of Picasa: Exporting and Backing Up.
    If you export photos, they all show up flattened-out in one folder. While this would technically work, the downside is iPhoto will suddenly have thousands of photos added to it and I'm not really sure how it will figure out the events (I didn't try importing into iPhoto yet).
    If you use Picasa's Backup feature (Tools->Back up pictures) then all the photos show up with their folder hierarchies preserved. So for example you could end up with a folder containing the following folders and photos.
    Vacation Photos
    Vacation Photos/Hawaii 2009/
    Vacation Photos/Hawaii 2009/pic1.jpg
    Vacation Photos/Hawaii 2009/pic2.jpg
    Vacation Photos/New York 2008/
    Vacation Photos/New York 2008/pic1.jpg
    Vacation Photos/New York 2008/pic2.jpg
    etc.
    From what I've read, if the "Vacation Photos" folder is imported into iPhoto, the folder names will be used as events, so in this example you'll end up with a "Hawaii 2009" event and a "New York 2008" event, which is nice.
    As far as Picasa's Backup tool goes, it will create one or more top-level folders with names starting with a dollar sign. These represent the top-level folders containing photos. On the computer I tested this on I ended up with $Desktop, $My Documents, and $My Pictures, because all the photos on this computer were inside of the Desktop, My Documents, and My Pictures folders (and their children).
    So in a nutshell, if you want to migrate from Picasa on Windows to iPhoto, just use Picasa's "Back Up Pictures" menu item if you want to preserve the folder hierarchy of your photos. Oh, one last thing: this feature doesn't let you back up to the same hard drive as the photos, so just share a folder on either your Mac or your PC and then back up to that folder.
    Hope somebody finds this information useful.
