Do all the filenames have the extension ".JPG"? If they do, try this:
- select one of these files by clicking on it just once.
- select the "File->Get Info" menu option.
- in the info panel that opens up, turn down the "Open With:" disclosure triangle.
- use the popup menu to select "Other..." ... you'll get a file navigator dialog
- select iPhoto in the Applications directory and click ok
- now press the "Change All" button in the info panel.
- close the info panel.
That might work. If not, email me a couple of the jpegs that don't import and I'll see what I can discover about them.

Thank you for responding! :-)
I JUST purchased a new Apple system (G4 17" Powerbook) and have iPhoto v5.0.2, still waiting on Tiger arrival. I also use Photoshop as my photo finishing work. I just want to have a simple interface to store the photos for reference, organization and quick scan. When I get picky I pull out Adobe and go to town.
Here's the deal, I've migrated all my photofiles and data I had on the Dell. I attempted to pop in a JPG just to see how iPhoto would import. It identified it as an unrecognizable file. All other apps can read the file, but iPhoto cannot read it unless I open it in a separate app, like GraphicConverter and REsave it as a JPG. Then it'll work. Considering the thousands of photos I have to work with, that solution is silly. I'm going to test every file format option and see what I come up with.
Thoughts?

I might be able to assist. What are you trying to accomplish with it, what version are you using?
