iPhoto 11 - Not enough disk space to import photos

As a Test:

Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'

Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Try Image Capture (In the Applications folder). You can import the photos to your Desktop and from there drag and drop into iPhoto. There is a chance that a photo got corrupted on your card and is reporting the wrong file size. I suggest that after you successfully import into iPhoto and before you take more shots using this card, you should format it in your camera.

Hi,

I am having the same problem. Just bought a Macbook Pro and installed the ilife'11.
I just can't import not even 1 photo to the library. I've created another library, reinstalled ilife and nothing... still the same problem. Any ideas?????

Thanks

I have just done the software update through the internet and guess what. It won't run anymore. When I try to open it I get a msg saying that iPhoto quite unexpectedly.

GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

What should I do?

A few thoughts to try

- have you renewed your iPhoto preference file? -- A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help

This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

- Depress the option key and launch iPhoto and create a new library and try there - see if that works

- Create a new user on your system and create a new library there and see if that works

Yep, I have tried that before with no success. 😟

I made three suggestions - have you tried all three?

Yep... I have tried all three and the only thing I get as soon as I clinck on iPhoto is: "iPhoto quit unexpectedly..."

Your issue is different from NickW who started this thread. You're not getting the same message. You really should create a thread of your own.

Nick: WHat happened when you tried in a different account?

Try deleting the iPhoto cache file in your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.

Next, boot into Safe Mode and try iPhoto again.

Terence Devlin,

My issue was the same as NickW's, I had the same message but after installing an update from the internet, I started getting the "quit unexpectedly" message.
