AP: 3.4.1, On import. Can't select expanded previews

Finally upgraded to AP 3.4.1.OSX 10.7.5. New in this version only, when importing (uploading) RAW Canon files (via FW 800 reader), I can no longer select (or deselect) a file if the preview image has been enlarged, i.e. double clicked on.  In every version prior to this I have been able to click import and the images load in contact sheet format. I uncheck all, then double click an image to see the large version of the JPEG and  step (rt arrow key) thru the images (in enlarged state) one at a time clicking on those I wish to import (on the small blue check box at bottom left which displays the camera's name for the file. When done, the import dialog with all EXIF and ITPC data intact indicates "Import X files to project Y" and the Import Checked button is available. Since 3.4.1, anything selected while in expanded view doesn' show up in the image to import count and the Import Checked button is greyed out.
Since the 3.4.1 upgrade, any selection/deselection while the image is viewed in expanded mode is ignored by the import controls.
Net result: importing now takes 3-4x as long as I have to double click to expand each image, then double click again to contract, select (by clicking the select box, arrow over one, repeat process. Example, I have ~900 images from Friday's homecoming. Deadline is tommorrow evening. It will easily add ~2 hours to make the import.
Even though I couldn't image a reason why, I rebuilt the AP database, no change. The 10.7.5 upgrade was done before the AP upgrade and this behavior was not evident. Same camera, same card, same reader. I can't determine a single change in my equipment or behavior. An examination of the import options in preferences doesn't mention this nor can I find any mention in the PDF manual.
Stumped and rather irritated and would really appreciate knowing (1) has anyone else seen this behavior and if so, did you find a fix. I will work around by just dumping them all into a project and winnowing  from inside AP, but that's a waste of time and disk space.
Thanks,
Robert
(Also as an added feature, it seems that every plugin is demanding that I re-enter the serial #. I noticed this same behavior with the 3.3 upgrade.)

Just '''HOLD''' on the text and '''TAP''' on the selected text and you can get the list of options including '''Copy Text'''

  • I have the latest downloadable version of LR5.  It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next

    I have the latest downloadable version of LR5.  It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next time is launches.  I get the same message the next and every subsequent time it launches so I can't launch LR at all now.
    I get that the preview file got corrupted somehow.  Is there some way to fix this problem without building a new catalog?

    Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. You will see a folder with the extension .lrdata. You need to delete that folder and then start Lightroom again. Lightroom will generate a new previews folder.

  • Can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie

    Hi, i can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie, it only lets me import one video at a time. Apple please fix in next update or if anyone has a solution please post.

    Obviously you can not select the video to import until after iMovie populates the list of videos that are available to be imported

  • Can't select files to import

    I have some DVDs from an event that we held. They were recorded directly to the disk, but are regular disks, not mini ones. I got the video off with Handbreak and now have an .m4v file that I'm trying to import into iMovie to edit. I didn't change any of the default settings on Handbreak (other than the destination and name of the file) and I've tried getting the file again, restarting the computer, etc. I can never select the file I need, it's always gray. I'm going through Import Movies, there is enough space for the file, it's nothing fancy (like HD). Any ideas? (And this is all fairly new to me, so don't assume I know much! It may be a stupid error and/or it would be really easy to talk over my head.)

    iMovie '08 will only allow you to to import files containing compression formats that can be edited, but MPEG-4 is one of those formats, so I don't know what the original poster's problem turned out to be. Generally, (I found this info from another thread) to import formats like WMV, etc., you have to first convert it to any of the acceptable compression formats: DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264. For audio this may include DV, AIFF, AAC, Unsigned Integer, Uncompressed, etc. Files with adaptive PCM (ADPCM) -- a common AVI audio compression format for digital cameras -- will not import.
    The simple method of converting is using Quicktime Pro. Opening the file and choosing to export it. When dealing with wmv files, it's necessary to have the upgraded version of Flip4Mac. A cheaper, but less featured app is called Visual Hub.

  • How can I select 2 out of 10 CD songs to import?

    How can I select 2 out of 10 CD songs to import? It looks like the only way is to manually uncheck each blue box from the list. Is there a way to deselect all, then choose the few I do want to import?

    Shirley,
    Select all the tracks (Command-A), then right-click (or Control-click) on one of those check boxes. In the contextual menu that comes up, select "Uncheck Selection" to deselect all tracks.

  • I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

    I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

    First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware).  Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
    For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths.  For example:
    Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
    The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content. 
    It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
    file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
    It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad.  In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
    Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result.  Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
    I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind.  The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.

  • LR 5 is very slow to give me a visual so I can properly select them for import. What's the problem?

    LR 5 is very very very slow in giving me a visual of my images so I can properly select them for import. What's the problem? I'm very disappointed with this glitch! Please Adobe fix it quickly! Has anyone else come across this problem? Any solutions? thanks

    Is "very very very slow" 30 seconds or 30 minutes or 30 hours or 30 years?
    It is possible that you have a hardware problem which is causing the slow operation (in my case, it was a bad card reader, but it could also be a bad USB port or USB cable or bad camera card). In fact, in my opinion, these issues are 99.9% of the time hardware issues.

  • Can not select external input for sound

    can not select external input for sound

    Hey there RoosterMonkey,
    It sounds like you have Soundtrack Pro installed but you cannot select your external audio device as an input. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    Soundtrack Pro 3: Troubleshooting Basics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3659
    Update to the latest software versions
    From the Apple () menu, choose Software Update and make sure that you have the most recent updates for your versions of Soundtrack Pro 3, QuickTime, Compressor, Pro Application Support, and other important system files. Installing the latest updates ensures that your software has the latest improvements and enhancements.
    Note: Be sure the application is in the Applications folder and is named Soundtrack Pro before running Software Update.
    Check compatibility and driver versions for third-party devices
    If you're using a third-party sound card, MIDI interface, storage system, control surface, or plug-in, check the support area on the manufacturer's website to be sure that you're using the latest version of the relevant driver or other software for your product. For information on troubleshooting possible issues with Audio Unit plug-ins, go to Soundtrack Pro 3: Troubleshooting Audio Unit plug-in issues.
    Try a different Multitrack Project or Audio File Project
    Sometimes project files can become damaged, causing unexpected behavior in Soundtrack Pro. To create a fresh project, choose File, then New and select Multitrack Project or Audio File. Test to see if the issue is resolved in the new project.
    Delete the User Preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Soundtrack Pro to its original settings. This will not impact your project files. To reset your Soundtrack Pro user preference settings to their original state:
    Quit Soundtrack Pro if it is open.
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu bar.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences  in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Remove the "com.apple.soundtrackpro.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
    Type ~/Library/Application Support/Soundtrack Pro  in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Remove the "EffectsCache.plist" file from the Soundtrack Pro folder.
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
    Type ~/Library/Application Support/Soundtrack Pro/Layouts  in the "Go to folder" field.
    Remove the "Soundtrack Pro.saved.moduleLayout" file from the Layouts folder.
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
    Type ~/Library/Caches in the "Go to folder" field.
    Remove the "com.apple.audiounits.cache" from the Caches folder.
    Remove receipts and reinstall Soundtrack Pro 3 and Compressor
    Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Soundtrack Pro and Compressor. To do this effectively, you need to remove the applications and their receipts, then install Soundtrack Pro and use Software Update to install additional updates. Compressor gets installed automatically when you install Soundtrack Pro. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Soundtrack Pro, so follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Soundtrack Pro. Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs handy before beginning.
    In Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard or OS X Lion
    Open the Terminal application and enter the following commands one at a time and an administrator password when prompted. Note: The commands are case sensitive.
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Compressor
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Qmaster
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.VideoOutSupport
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.PSTSharedA
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.AppleHDVCodec
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.AppleIntermediateCodec
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.DSPPublishing
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.SoundtrackPro
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Uncompressed422
    Then, reinstall Soundtrack Pro and Compressor using the following steps:
    Open the Applications folder. Drag the Soundtrack Pro and Compressor applications to the Trash.
    Insert your Logic Studio or Final Cut Studio installation disc and install Soundtrack Pro.
    When finished installing, choose the Apple () menu, then Software Update to update your software to the latest version.
    Open Soundtrack Pro to verify that the issue has been resolved.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Can I Select from table skipping extents linked with lost datafiles?

    Hi~,
    I need your help to recover my database.
    I'm using oracle 9.2.0.8 at Fedora 3 with no-archive mode.
    and I don't have any backup.
    Last night, I experenced hard disk failure.
    I tried OS-level recovery, but I lost some datafiles of tablespace.
    anyway, I wanted to recover my database without data of lost datafiles.
    so, I issued "alter database datafile offline drop" and
    start oracle instance.
    But, datafiles were not removed from dba_data_files view and
    extents linked with lost datafiles were not removed from dba_extents view!
    Selecting query of some table containing extents linked with lost data files,
    I got "ORA-00376: file xxx cannot be read at this time" message.
    So, my question is that..
    HOW CAN I SELECT FROM THAT TABLE WITHOUT SCANNING EXTENTS LINKED WITH LOST DATA FILES?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Without being in archivelog and without backup, one can't do any sort of recovery. That's why backups and archivelog are so so important.
    The offline data file command never does actually drop the datafile. It merely indicates to the control file that now the said tablespace will also be dropped. This won't update any view that the files are not supposed to be used or shown to you anymore.
    This is what documentation says about the recovery of the database in the NoARch mode,
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/osrecov.htm#i1007937
    You do need a backup in order to get those tables being read. Oracle doesn't have any feature which can offline/skip the missing extents for you and let you read the data without them.

  • How can I select a date to view in Calendar while I am in month view?

    I am looking at month view in Calendar on my iPad. I touch a date. Intuitively, I expect that date to open up in Day or Week view, but it doesn't! On my iphone, it works just fine. Am I missing something?
    How can I select a date to view while in Month view and have it go to Day or Week view?
    Thanks for any help.

    I would try this:
    In Lr import one photo into a different folder that you can see in the list.
    Then in your OS (mac Finder / Win Explorer) move the photo to the folder that you cannot see.
    In Lr the photo will now appear with a question mark on its frame. Click directly on the question mark and select <Locate photo>. Navigate to the folder, open it, and click on the photo.
    Maybe this will help Lr to recognize the folder.
    If this doesn't help try renaming the folder in your OS.

  • Can I select and drop multiple photos onto the video timeline in the order that I select them?

    Why do I loose the link to my files in the organiser?
    I have edited and saved several projects, now I want to combine them as one movie how do I do that?

    There is often confusion, as to what the Project File, PREL, is and what's in it, plus how to use it.
    The PREL, or Project File, is an XML code database, with instructions, and links to one's media files. It has no media files inside it, just links to where they were located on the system, when the user Imported the media files into the Project. For more detail, please see this article: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3392837#3392837
    When one does a Save, Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy, it is ONLY the PREL file that is written. That article goes into detail on the various types of Save, and their uses.
    If one wishes to "save" a Project as media, they need to Export/Share/Publish that Project's Timeline to a media file. This file, will then display in Organizer, or any other cataloging utility program (with a few exceptions, but those are related to the specs. chosen in the Export/Share/Publish operation).
    I hope that sorts out the confusion and good luck,

  • How can I select 2 options in Interactive reports

    Hi Friends
    I have a doubt about Interactive reports/ ALV interactive reports. Is there any option to select multiple selections in interactive reports. If I am displaying in a screen CustNo, Name, Country.
    I want to see order details of that customer in another screen using AT Line-Selection. Can I select multiple customer nos at a time and also can I see those order details whom I selected over in first list.
    Please send me reply ASAP if there is any option with suitable example.
    Thanks
    Praveen.

    Check out this sample.  It uses two ALV grids.  On the first one you can do multiple selection, hit the continue buttons and it will throw another ALV with those material/plant records.  Implement the following program.  Create screen 100 and 200.  One each screen create a custom container called ALV_CONTAINER(screen 100) and ALV_CONTAINER2(screen 200).  Create the gui status for both.  Don't forget to create a "CONTINUE" button on the gui-status 100.
