Dec 19, 2014 11:54 PM in response to Fastatrainby Terence Devlin,As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) 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?
Post back with the result.

Dec 20, 2014 9:43 AM in response to Fastatrainby Old Toad,See if you can use Image Capture or a card reader to upload your image files from the memory card to a folder on the Desktop. Once they are safely on the hard drive see if you can open them with Preview. If you can't then the files may be damaged.
Also use the camera to reformat the memory card, take some test shots and try importing again as you usually do.

Dec 20, 2014 10:50 AM in response to Fastatrainby Old Toad,Have you applied the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.14? You might want to download it and try again even if you already have. It brings Rebel T4i compatibility to OS X Lion.

Dec 20, 2014 10:52 AM in response to Old Toadby Fastatrain,I am not using Lion. I am using Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8

Dec 20, 2014 11:03 AM in response to Old Toadby Fastatrain,Just tried the update. Received an error message saying it is ONLY for Aperture 3 and Iphoto 9. Apparently my Iphoto version is Iphoto '09 8.1.2 and is not compatible with the update.
-
Dec 20, 2014 11:32 AM in response to Fastatrainby léonie,Yes, that RAW Support Compatibility Update requires iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3. You will need to upgrade to iPhoto '11, if you want RAW support for your camera. Either buy an iLife '11 installer DVD from Amazon and upgrade to iPhoto '11 this way, or upgrade to Yosemite, if your Mac supports it and buy the iPhoto 9,6 upgrade from the AppStore.

Dec 20, 2014 11:47 AM in response to léonieby Fastatrain,Looked that option over. Is there a way to just get iphoto version 9.0 without buying the entire iLife bundle?
-
Dec 20, 2014 11:48 AM in response to Fastatrainby LarryHN,No
Either buy an iLife '11 installer DVD from Amazon and upgrade to iPhoto '11 this way,
or upgrade to Yosemite, if your Mac supports it and buy the iPhoto 9,6 upgrade from the AppStore.

Dec 20, 2014 11:50 AM in response to Fastatrainby léonie,That is why I suggested " Either buy an iLife '11 installer DVD from Amazon"
iPhoto '11 is part of the iLife '11 bundle, and the installer DVDs for iLife '11 have earlier versions of iPhoto '11. iPhoto 9.2.4 will run with MacOS X 10.6.8, see for example: iPhoto 9.2.3
