Try holding down the option plus command (apple) key as you launch iphoto. It will then ask you if you want to rebuild your library. BUT backup any items on an extrenal drive or DVD before doing this

How do i download pictures from cd to mac
Easiest way. Make a new folder on your desktop. Depending on the OS, use the keys Command N or Shift Command N for a new folder. Title the folder. The Apple key immediately to the left and right of the space bar is the Command Key.
Insert the CD into the tray. When it opens drag the folder or files on the CD to your newly-created desktop folder. Remove the CD. You may now move the photos to IPhoto or any other location of your own choosing and edit them, turn them into a slide show or do with them what you will.
Using the same technique you can also transfer files ( any files, not just photos) from a USB device.
If your CD tray does not work or cannot read the CD (wrong format, etc) you have to progress to more ingenious solutions. Worst case, the screen will state "disk unreadable by this computer." Possibly formatted for Windows or some unreadable DAT format. Then you will have to go back to the source and reformat the files to JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG or some format your Imac will recognize.

How to upload photos to an iPod touch 3
<p>The iPod Touch was the sister device to the iPhone, and shares most features for running applications, playing music and videos and photos showing. Like the iPhone, it relies on iTunes to sync your media library and portable device and for photos, iTunes bind to a separate program for administration of photos like iPhoto on a Mac or Adobe Photoshop Elements on Windows. <br /> <p><br /> <p>1. Gather your photos in iPhoto or Photoshop Elements or, or in a folder you want to copy them on your computer. Organize your photos in this process makes it so much easier. If you rename your photo collection in iPhoto or Photoshop Elements, it will sync and stay organized on your iPod touch much easier. <br /> <p><br /> <p>2. Connect your iPod Touch to your computer via the USB cable. <br /> <p><br /> <p>3. Open iTunes if it does not start automatically when you connect your iPod to your computer. <br /> <p><br /> <p>4. Click the Photos tab in iTunes. In the top panel is a drop-down menu where you are the source of the photos you want to sync select. If you have iPhoto or Photoshop Elements installed, the default option. You can then specify the name of collections of photos you want to copy to the iPod Touch. If you do not have iPhoto or Photoshop Elements installed, you can navigate to a folder of image files in it. <br /> <p><br /> <p>5. Click Apply. The photos are synced to the iPod Touch. <br />

My canon camera won't upload photos to my iphoto. It seems like iphoto is trying to read them, but can't. A green light flashes on the camera but no image appears on the LCD screen.
Use a card reader instead of your camera to download to a folder you create on your desktop. Then, import the pics to iphoto from there.

Can't get pics to my mac computer, won't transfer.
When you get the popup from iPhoto don't click on any iPhoto buttons. Instead, click on command+tab and change to your Finder application (leaving iPhoto open in the background).

1) Create a new folder on your Desktop or in your Pictures folder. This is where you will copy your photo files.

2) Click on File, then New Finder window. Size these finder windows so you can see both of them at the same time. In the second window, go to your computer, and then to the drive that represents the memory card in your camera.

3) Drag and drop to copy the files from the camera's memory card Finder window to the new folder Finder window, dropping the files into the new folder on your computer's hard drive.

4) Use command+tab to change back to iPhoto. Cancel from the import warning window. In iPhoto click on File then Import to Library

5) In the import dialog tell iPhoto to move the photos (not to import them in their current location) so that iPhoto puts the photos in the same place it put your other photos when it imported them directly from the camera.

If you can't do all of these steps, tell me how far you got, and what happened.

Transferring pics from ipod video, 30gb back to laptop
I don't think that is possible. Its a one way thing where you can only put pictures from your computer into the IPod.

If it does work, click on your Ipod in Itunes and go to the pictures folder and see if it will let you drag and drop them.

If it does then it work but ITunes doesn't work that way under normal situations.
