While importing photos from my Nikon CoolPix L22 camera, 50 or so vacation photos were lost during the transfer from Image Capture (the Nikon's default software) to iPhoto.
The photo's were all saved as Jpegs, and are now listed as .ipmeta. Help?

Greetings,
How big are these files?
Have you tired changing the file extension to .jpeg to see if they will open or import to iPhoto?
If the originals are still on the Nikon try downloading them again, as those .ipmets data files are not your actual photos.
I had the same problem tonight with Image Capture and have been unable to recover my photos. I had it set to delete from the camera, so it appears they're simply gone. I read on another forum about a hidden folder, /private/tmp; I checked that and the images are not there (apparently they're only there until the camera is disconnected). This seems like a major bug that Apple needs to address; people have been having this issue for years.
I had the same problem today when downloading photos from my iphone 3gs. There were 24 photos that did not download, but were deleted from the iphone. Apple please help!!
