Why will only half my photos download to iPhoto?

Just got back from a great vacation with a lot of nice shots, but only about half of the photos would download from my Canon PowerShot S30. We have had this problem intermittently with iPhoto since our G5 was brand new. Sometimes all photos download, sometimes a few are missing, and sometimes as much as half. No rhyme or reason to it. The photos will occasionally download after trying reapeatedly. All photos download to a pc with no problem. Why can't we get our iPhoto to do it?
Thanks for any clues to this mystery!

On other occasions when I've had the same problem, there were no movie clips.<<<</div>
In that case, I don't know.

HT4101 Since upgrade of IOS, my once dependable camera connection kit will only import landscape photos from my Sony Alpha DSLR, but red exclaimation symbol only for portrait format. Any ideas why?

Since upgrade of IOS, my once dependable camera connection kit will only import landscape photos from my Sony Alpha DSLR, but red exclaimation symbol only for portrait format. Any ideas why?
I am using an ipad2 with the latest operating system upgrade. My problems started with the upgrade to v6. Before that, portrait and landscape pics were uploaded from camera with no problems.

Hi,
I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
Anyway, thank you,
Chris

HT201272 why have only half of my apps come up on my new ipad

why have only half of my apps come up on my new ipad?

Do you mean that they don't show in the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad ? If the app is no longer in your country's store then it won't show, you can only redownload those that are still available. Also if you've changed countries since you bought them then they also won't show in the Purchased tab. Or do you have an app age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that might be hiding them ?

Only half of photos in library load to iphoto 2

I've done a library rebuild and it hasn't helped. I can see the iphoto library in my finder, and it looks like they are all there, but they are not loading. The last photo is dated 10/21/04. Should I try importing those photos again? Isn't that kind of weird since I would be choosing folders in the iphoto library to import?
Or...should I install ibuddy and create new librarys and then try to import again?

same problem, multiple threads.
My computer was full. I transfered my photo library to the external drive along with all my documents, and then cleaned up my computer, reinstalled osX, and applications, moved everything back to the hard drive, except for my iphoto library. I was able to access all my photos in iphoto for about 2 days, and then...only half the photos come up. The number of photos is at about 1500, and two days ago there were 3800. When I look in the finder, I can see the folders and that they have stuff in them, but they don't load into the library when I launch iphoto.
In the mean time, when I launched iphoto, I got the the "loading photos" message, but nothing ever loaded...it just kept saying it was loading. I did all the steps mentioned for the post about "iphoto stuck on loading photos"
Ran "Repair Permissions" from Disk Utility located in Applications>Utilties Folder.
Removed the preference (.plist file) and restart iPhoto.
If it still doesn't work go on to these remedies, in order.
5. Bad Album data?
Old Toad says:
1 - move the Albums folder and the AlbumData.xml file to the desktop.
2 - launch iPhoto. It if launches successfully you probably have a corrupt album.
To locate the bad "apple", pun intended, do the following:
1 - move one of the individual album folders and it's associated data file into the new Albums folder that was created in the iPhoto Library folder.
2 - launch iPhoto. If it's successful do the same with the next album folder and data file. If iPhoto doesn't launch successfully, that's a bad one and remove it and the data file.
3 - repeat for each individual album folder in the old Albums folder.
6. Rebuild Library
So I did those things and now my iphoto loads again, but still only 1500ish photos.
Word now doesn't load, and I tried to install Microsoft player, and no luck. I think my computer is dying and it's time for a new imac. Any suggestions? I'm fairly certain I haven't lost the photos, but that for some reason, they just don't show up in the library when iphoto is launched.

When i go to attach a photo to email or load it to facebook it will not display any photos from my iphoto library and only allows me load ones that are in photo booth or saved on the desktop. Any ideas?

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Why can't I email photos direct from iPhoto?

Why can't I email photos directly from iPhoto, or even attach them to email?

I get a dotted frame outline with an exclamation
This is the source of all the problems. iPhoto can't mail the files because it cannot find them.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming it's 09 or later:
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. .

Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library

Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library
When I try to sync photos to my iPod (80gb video Ipod) it gives me the error "The iPod cannot by synced. The required file cannot be found." Does anyone know what file this is and why it cannot find it? Thanks for any help.

I asked the same question last February and got no help from Apple and a well intentioned but not so useful reply from a fellow Mac user.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=843093&tstart=0
However, when switching to a new MacBook Pro, I observed what happened and found out the root of the problem.
When you tell iTunes to sync your iPod with your iPhoto Library, it creates a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" at >User>Pictures>iPhoto Library, which depending on the size of your iPhoto library, or how many pics you want to sync with iTunes, it can be huge! (1,600+ pics created a 1Gb+ folder).
The solution is obvious: just delete that folder and let these applications create a new one next time you instruct iTunes to sync your photos. To be sure, next time you open iTunes after you throw away that folder, uncheck the iPhoto option, close iTunes, make sure the folder is gone, and then, when you open iTunes again with your iPod connected, check it again having made sure that the pesky folder is not there and iTunes (or iPhoto, who knows) will create a fresh one.
By the way, iPod Photo Cache folders are created all over the place! Do a Spotlight search in your hard drive and you will be amazed about how many you will find!
Good luck! Hope it works!

HT4927 Are there ways to only upload certain photos from my iphoto backup? It is really big and I don't want all the photos on my new computer.

Are there ways to only upload certain photos from my iphoto backup? It is really big and I don't want all the photos on my new computer.

There is a way to find and recover individual photos from a Time Machine backup.
1 - dowload and launch Find Any File.
2 - select the Time Machine hard drive in FAF's Find Items menu.
3 - enter the full file name of the photo you want to recover into FAF and use the Find button.
NOTE: it will take a while for FAF to retrieve and display the results of the search due to the nature of how TM makes its backups. 30 seconds or so is normal.
4 - select the file in the Masters folder and use the Space bar to verify it's the one you want with Quickview.
5 - drag the file from the FAF window to your Desktop.
6 - repeat for each photo you need to restore.

Only half of songs downloaded

Hi I have recently downloaded an album (Bruce Springsteen Greatest Hits) when listening to it today I discovered that only half of each song has been downloaded. For example while it shows that the song "Born to Run" is 4:30 long it will only play until 1:25 before skipping to the next track. If I try to move the progress tracker ahead of this point it will automatically skip to the next track. This happens to all the songs at various points on the album.
I have go to the Download Previous Purchaces section but the Download button is greyed out so I dont know how to re download this purchace.
Can anyone please help me with this?
Cheers
Kim

Hi Carolyn,
When I go to Check for Available Downloads it says that "All purchases have been downloaded for this account". The download appeared to go fine when I did it it is only when I play the files that there is a problem. I have also discovered this same problem with another album I downloaded this same day ("Journey Greatest Hits").
Obviously there has been some malfunction that occurred on this day when I was purchasing these albums but I can't find any way to fix the problem by redownloading the files to replace the damaged ones. Apple sorely had a method of resolving problems where the downloaded file is damaged or corrupted in some way?

Only the last photo download shows up in iPhoto

I just downloaded new photo from my Camera. Those new photos are the only one that now appears into iPhoto. I can still see my 73G iphoto library on my hard drive, I can also see the pictures when I click on show package content, but I am unable to open it with iPhoto. If I double click to open the library, iPhoto opens up and the only photo show are the last few that I downloaded.
Can anyone help?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.5.1) iPhoto '08 version 7.1.1

Try to go to iphoto>file>import to librarY
No, please don't do that!
If you do then iPhoto will import Original, Modified and thumbnail files and treat them all as individual new images, leading to a mess and massive duplication.
To try and get iPhoto to open the library the correct way is to hold down the option (or alt) key while starting iPhoto, then select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the library location.

Why is only half the page printing

i have a Deskjet f380 when i want to print a page, the preview shows only half the page. and it will only print half the page. i checked the setting and they seem to be fine, what gives?

Suddenly my HP J5780 printer releases pages that gradually lose printing -- top of the page OK, middle weak, no bottom. What to do?

How come when I try to sync photos from iTunes to my iPhone, only half the photos show up?

All of the photos are compatible (JPEG) for syncing, but only half of them are syncing onto my iPhone 4S.
I'm using iPhoto 11 to manage my photos.
Is there something wrong with the actual photos, iPhoto 11, or is it iTunes?

Has your iPad been synced to a different computer?
Do you have apps on your iPad that were purchased with a different iTunes account than the one you use on your computer?
Have your ever successfully synced to your own computer before?

Will I lose my photos when upgrading iPhoto after updating to Mavericks?

I recently upgraded to Mavericks and can't access iPhoto and need to upgrade. I currently have 9.3 but I did not back up my library. Will I lose my photos when I upgrade?

For this you can simply make a copy on the internal drive if you have space - that is enough for an upgrade - but you must have a large external drive and have a continuing backup system if your photos have any value at all to you - Time Machine is a good start

Why won't iphone 5 photos export to iphoto?

Photos taken on my iphone 5 were automatically and successfully downloaded into iphoto on my imac until today when all of the sudden, and for no apparent reason, they won't download. There are no comments on iphone, iphoto or the imac with an explanation or a question. These photos are, of course are extrememly special and I don't want to lose them. Imac osx 10.8.5.

Simply copy them from the iPhone to the computer, this does not require using iPhone or any special software.
