importing to 9.1.3 from camera
I've used iphoto 11 9.1.3 (607) on my imac and IPM for several years with no great problems until about 10 days ago, I can't remember if there was an update? Since then I can't import I just get the rainbow wheel after the spokes for a few minutes when I mount my camera and have to force quit. I can get back to the iphoto library ok by removing the .plist files & caches and restarting. I have similar problems using image capture which can read he camera memory partly (no file sizes shown) and can't import (at least this does not hang the program) to either iphoto or the desktop... I have tried creating a new library using IPM (3.6.7) and no joy.
I was thinking I have a corrupted camera memory card as I can still import from iphone4 and ipad2...but I've just successfully imported the pictures from the camera onto my macbook which is running iphoto08 and IPM 3.5.8 so now I'm thinking there is something ?thumbnails or similar on my imac that is locking things up or there is a bug in this combination of programs..
PS both machines running 10.6.8... maybe I just need to downgrade back to earlier versions of iphoto if I can find the relevant disks from when I converted from Tiger through to snow leopard plus a boost in RAM. Sorry its a bit involved but people seem to like more info on the software versions
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
