Q: New Photos app won't recognize/import GoPro files like iPhoto did
-
Jul 23, 2015 9:29 PMby kpsylvester,Reported this issue to Apple (Canon Vixia HR50 HD camcorder). Went through some troubleshooting steps and a few days later they instructed me to download the newest version of Mac OS 10.10.4. This update includes a Photos update and I'm happy to report issue is solved. Successful import of my photos and vids into Photos app.

Jul 30, 2015 10:17 PMby Nancy Fisher1,Did not work for me...now cannot get my Mac Mini with OS10.10. to recognize Sony A6000 or GoPro Hero2 in Photos/ No problem with direct import into iPhoto. It made no difference turning Sony on first...ditto with Go Pro. I had to resort to a Card Reader. Also Image Capture did not recognize the cameras. A friend using Final Cut Pro could easily import from the Go Pro so there is nothing wrong with my cards/ This anomaly began with Photos

It's more likely that the mini USB port in the camera or the connector will be worn out or compromised than a memory card to be. Memory cards are built for such handling and and be replaced easier than a messed up port or cable.

Well several users have reported that this is fixed in Photo 1.0.1 - since you do not disclose what versions of software you are using no one can help you - in the future to get help try posting more facts and less opinions and RANTs

Aug 2, 2015 1:45 PMby extraotjo,I'm having the same problem.
Plug my GoPro3+ into my Mac, Photos detects the files, but will NOT import them. I receive the following error:
Unreadable Files: 2, the following files could not be imported (there may be an unrecognized filed type or the files may not contain valid data).
All of my software is up to date and I'm simply trying to upload one video and one photo. That's it.
Help?

Aug 4, 2015 8:55 PMby tamoreno,I am having the same problem with multiple devices, but Image Capture is working for me with one exception which I will describe at the end.
My symptoms are: sometimes iPhone 6+ photos are not recognized as 'new' in the import window, so there is apparently nothing to import, even when there are dozens/hundreds of new photos. If new photos are recognized and i try to import 'all new', the app will hang after a few minutes and no photos will import. No other solution than a force quit for Photos.
If I try to import a selection of the new photos (if they have appeared) then it sometimes will work and so I sit there importing 50 or 100 at a time until they are all in. Just cannot import the entire set. Same thing happens with my GoPro Hero 3, an iPhone 6 and an iPhone 5.
My workaround has been to use Image Capture to import to the hd and then I drag into Photos. It defeats the purpose. My issue with image capture is that my phone photos have reached 9,999 and now have looped all the way back to IMG_0001, so on image capture, which lists photos by number, I am having to import all images/videos within a number range, which includes photos from a year or more ago and then delete by date before I drag/drop into Photos app.
Running OS X 10.10.4 on an iMac Retina 5K late 2014 and Photos Version 1.0.1 (215.65.0)
iPhone 6+ with iOS8.3
Would like to hear of a solution.

Aug 22, 2015 10:46 AMby BigChaver,useless just trying to import my pics and video, my GoPro Studio doesn't even open the importer, my Photos briefly sees the pics on my GroPro Hero 3+ and then all the thumbs disappear (it only shows the camera connected, and nowhere else). No improvement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
