Strange import issue .. no longer works in 2.6 or Beta 3

Strange import issue.
I use LR-2.6 everyday but have only played around with the LR-3 for a limited amount of time so the other day I decided check it out and tried to import a handful of RAW(canon) files on a SDxc-8g card via a USB card reader. I set it up to copy and convert to DNG, apply a few keywords and Metadata but when I tried it acted like it imported the first image and then froze. Card reader lights stopped blinking and just stayed on, program task bar doesn’t show any progress, not even for the first image. I then went to the folder that I was going to have the images copies to and it contained a file of the first image, but there is no indication that LR-3 even created it and it doesn’t show up in the catalog. When I tried to close out LR-3 is popped up the “in the middle of a task warning” so I just closed the program and tried it a couple more times to no avail.
So I though o well I will just open up LR-2.6 and import them from there, guess what now LR-2.6 does the exact same thing!!
I thought maybe my card reader was a POS but I was able to drag all the files to a new folder on my desktop and import them from there, nope. Tried rebooting a couple times, even opened a new catalog to test with, in both LR-2.6 and LR-3 and neither will work..
I am stumped any ideas?

Thank you for everyone's assistance
I actually figured out what the problem was, like most issues it comes back to operator error, it seem I had inadvertently chose a "rename file on import" template that I had set up to name the files based on a custom fill-in field in the Meta Data, I normally only used that template when I was exporting images that had been completely edited, so being these images were new imports that field was blank, hence it would import the first image and then do to " don't import subjected duplicates" being checked it would just stop the import process.

Importing Videos No Longer Works

Recently, iPhoto stopped recognizing and importing videos from my cameras.
I used to work fine, now, I'm not sure what happened, it no longer works.
Is this common or just occurring for me?
Any comments appreciated.
peace,
michael

Nay. The videos will not appear anywhere except on the camera.
I take the card out, and no videos. So I know they are on the card.
The camera records in AVCHD Lite and Motion JPEG.
The videos I'm having problems with are AVCHD Lite.
I found TD's posting about these file types and was able to import the video using iMovie.
Once in iMovie, I found the source of the imported images and added them to iPhoto.
I'm changing the setting to Motion JPEG so I don't have to do this in the future.
Thanks for the tips.
peace,

SL + iPhoto '09 = Strange import issue

Since moving to Snow Leopard, I've had a few occasions of strange import troubles.
The last three times I've imported images off my card 1-3 RAW images have been jacked up, with the top part of the photo looking normal, but the rest of the image looking like it's scrambled cable.
I deleted the bad imported images (and a few others) and tried reimporting the images. The ones that were bad the first time come out fine but others might have the same issue.
Any idea what's going on??
Thanks!
Jake

Some things to try:
Use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) (or the Finder if your Camera mounts on the Desktop) to move the files to a Folder on the desktop and then try import them from there. This will tell us if the problem is between iPhoto and the Camera or local to iPhoto.
If the problem persists with the files imported from the desktop: Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
2. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Strange Import Issue with Canon 7D Footage Final Cut Pro X

I'm hoping some folks can help me here as I'm stumped.
I shot around 60 minutes of last evening with my Canon 7D. File sizes ranged from 500MB to 4GB. I imported from my 8GB memory card a 3.6 GB file and a 500MB file with no issue. I then moved on to my 16GB memory card, which was full with around 7 clips, and started importing. I noticed the import was going slow but I was also importing some audio from SD cards on the same card reader, which I've always done in the past, and figured it was just a USB 2.0 bandwidth thing.
I then got an error regarding the Import Failing (see attachment) but the file appeared to have imported without issue. Upon further inspection during the import however, I noticed any file larger than 1GB was showing as the PAL codec (after it imports it correctly shows H.264 but more on that later). I checked the 3.6GB file from my first import and it did not share this issue. While on the shoot I had backed up a number of these files to my iPad so I attempted to import them from there and althought he PAL codec was not listed, I did get the Import Failed error. I also tried a brand new card reader and a different Event/Destination the issue remained.
I've restarted, repaired permissions, and the issue remains. I have never encountered this error and imported a similar amount of footage and clip sizes two weeks ago. I'm stumped, has anyone else seen this?

I did some experiments this morning, and Richard's method worked. Thank you!
However, I didn't follow Richard's steps 2 & 3. When importing, I let FCP copy the files to the FC Events folder. It still worked. In step 1, I did not copy the .THM files to the new folder on my HD.
I did a second experiment that did not work:
1) Copy .mov files (only) from CF card to new folder on HD.---no .THM files
2) "Create Camera Archive" with FCP - Store new archive in its own folder on my HD
3) Tried importing from the new Camera Archive - This crashed just like before.
This tells me FCP is OK with importing individual media files to a FC Event. It seems to crash when it thinks there's a camera involved.
Later today I'll try to import some AVCHD files and see if it crashes on import. For AVCHD footage, you need to rely on FCP's "Import from device" capability. Those files need to be transcoded to be usable at all.
More later.

Importing issues - millisecond long songs!

iTunes on my computer recognises that there is a CD in the drive, and imports from it very quickly, to the extent that the song imported, is only a millisecond or two long.
I've checked my import settings and they're set to import files to AAC format in 256k bit rate.
What is going on and how can I fix it?
The computer's motherboard was recently replaced but I don't think that would be an issue.

This Nightly feedback, Steganos password Manager drop and drag functionality no longer works after last update.

Cut and paste still works but the drop and drag so longer works.
This for Nightly Beta 64 bit.

I too have the problem: W7 64 bit. Drag and drop worked until yesterday when I "upgraded" to FF v 26.0 - I can no longer drag passwords etc from my password manager to website fields - a barred circle appears when I try to drag.
I tried pressing ESC (one profferred solution) and also reset FF to no avail.
This is more than annoying: some of my passwords are dozens of characters long and there's no way I can access sites by typing them in! I need a solution, even if it's reverting to a previous version.

IMPORT issues: Works with iMovie 3 but not iMovie 6 ???

Okay, still trying to get my import issue resolved.
I have a SONY HDR-HC3 DVmini.
No problems with iMovie 3 on my Powerbook.
iMovie 6 on my MDD will let me control the camera, but the screen stays BLUE with no IMPORT.
My buddy thinks it might be a Quicktime issue.
He said to download Quicktime Pro, that might resolve this issue.
I can copy the iMovie 3 file to my machine with iMovie 6 and do the editing, just not the importing...
THANX

Hi
Can be so much.
Often Camera has to be connected to Charger/mains during Capture.
An majority is a faulthy - badly connected FW-Cable (USB don't work at all)
My list on this
*NO CAMERA or A/D-box*
Cable
• Sure that You use the FireWire - USB will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
• Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
Camera
• Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
• Toogle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
• Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
• Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
Connections
• Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
Mac
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
(Other hard disks don't count)
I go for a minmum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
after material is imported and edited.
SoftWare
• Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
• Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
• FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
Using WHAT versions ? .
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
*Other ways to import Your miniDV tape*
• Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
• If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Extended formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)
from LKN 1935.
Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten.
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check.
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About../More..
under Firewire.. what do you read..?
More
• FileVault - Secure that it’s turned off
• Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
• Where did You store/capture/import Your project ?
External USB hard disk = Bad Choise / FireWire = Good
If so it has to be Mac OS Extended formatted
----> UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange is NOT Working for VIDEO !
mbolander
Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After uninstalling Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.
*No Camera or bad import*
• USB hard disk
• Network storage
• File Vault is on

if you have adobe cs3 or 4 and have the adobe bridge on close that

see if that halps

The problem was the external backup hard drive that is connected, you need to disconect the external drive before the mac can see the video camera.

After updating with iTunes 12.1 for Windows 8.1, when I restarted my computer, my headphones no longer work. According to my computer they do. Is this an iTunes issue?

After updating with iTunes 12.1 for Windows 8.1, when I restarted my computer, my headphones no longer work. According to my computer they do. Is this an iTunes issue? I did the audio troubleshooting and it says everything is fine. I have a Toshiba Satellite L75D-A7280.

Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.

Import form cam no longer works after Update to iLife 09

Hi, I've updated to iLife 09 and installed the most recent patches. With iLife 08 my Fujifilm Finepix F30 was recognized by my mac book pro, iPhoto starded up an the contet of the cam was presented for import as soon as I connected it by USB. With iLife 09 all this no longer works. iPhote is fired up but nothing else happens but that iPhote freezes so the only thin I an do is to kill it ... now it's more or less useless for me
Please help !
TIA

My original computer that has my itunes account on it no longer works. I am trying to import my phones itunes settings into my new computer and it is not letting me and I don't want to loose all my photos and music, what do I do?

It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

After I unplug headphones, the speakers no longer work until rebooted. Anyone else experience this? Also had the same issue on the Droid Razr Maxx.

Ahh. We can still help find the culprit, TeaParty14. Do you have any 3rd party applications installed to play your music? Are you able to hear any audio if you plug the headphones back into the phone instead of rebooting? Any audio for calls through the phone direct or through speakerphone?

I have recently upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now find that the upload photo to Facebook facility no longer works. I have reset Safari but this has not resolved the issue - any suggestions?

I have recently upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now find that the upload photo to Facebook facility no longer works. I have reset Safari but this has not resolved the issue - any suggestions? I can click on the "upload photos/video" field and it takes me to Finder to select the photo - but on selecting the photo, the Finder screen disappears as normal but from then on nothing happens.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Now empty the Safari cache.
Back to the menu bar, click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Quit and relaunch Safari then try Facebook.
If that doesn't help, it may be a Safari extension preventing you from uploading content to Facebook.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

JNI Calls to Native Methods No Longer Work: Possible Versioning Issue ?

Hello, all. Just a quick question... is it possible that invoking a method in a JNI-compliant DLL from Java 6 will fail if the DLL's source was compiled against the JNI header files from Java 4 or 5 ? I have a DLL with methods that used to be called successfully (and now fail outright and don't even seem to be getting inside the native method), but it seems that the only thing that could have changed in the environment is the installed JRE. Even stranger, I don't get the hs_err* files anymore to indicate that the JVM crashed. Does anyone know why this might happen ? Thanks !

You could of course be doing something in the JNI code in terms of working with Java which no longer works. Just as it is at least possible that java code from one version might not work with another.
Correct error checking in the JNI code would at least correctly identify this problem however.

You seem unsure whether the JNI is being called at all, so verifying that first would be a good idea.

Importing form a shared CD drive no longer works???

I use a Mac mini for my music library in the living room. Since it has no CD drive built in I use a MBP with a CD drive to import from. It no longer works since the latest updates.
Any ideas wy?

Check the paper documentation that came with your iMac. There should be a doc titled "AppleCare Service and Support Contact Information" that lists support phone numbers for about 30 countries. On mine, the last country in the list is the UK. The phone number is (44) 0870 876 0753 & the website is http://www.apple.com/uk/support/
At the bottom of my contact info doc, it says to find the most current phone contact info, see www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html. I just checked & it has the same info as above.
Poking around a bit on the UK page, I found this Contacting Apple page with still more UK-specific info & links.
It doesn't look like Apple is trying to hide anything to me. Rather, it is just such an enormous web site that you may need to refer to the materials included with your Mac to find the right place to look.
Or, as we yanks sometimes say, "When all else fails, read the manual."
