1.3 import from disk problem

I have loaded LR 1.3 update, and now I can not import (with "Import photos at their current location" import option) more than one file from a DVD at a time. I am running Windows XP. If I click on one file, it will import fine. Click on two or more, and I get an error message saying "The following files were no imported because they could not be read." If I copy them to hard drive, they will import all at once, just fine. I tried to "copy photos to a new location and import" also. The files copy fine, but I get the same error message when it tries to import them.

Sorry, John. Not meaning to shout, just making a point. The DVD file copy is always read only, because you can not change it on the disk. When it is copied onto hard drive, it is no longer read only. But this is not the problem. In the past, in 1.1, or 1.2, I did not have this problem. I never had to copy files to hard drive, before importing into LR. from a DVD. And, as I said, if I import one file, it works fine. Do two or more at once, as I have always done from day one of using LR, and it will not read them.

Import from DVD problem gone in LR 2.0 beta

One problem I have had with LR 1.3 was not being able to File>Import from disk, and select more than one file from a DVD or CD and import. It would see them as read only files. I had to open another window, and drag them into Library.
This glitch is GONE in 2.0 beta. THANKS Adobe.

It's a bug, which is already the subject of thread only a few below yours. See -

LR2.3: Question on Import from Disk / DNG conversion

Hi... I notice that when choosing FILE/ Import photos from disk" There are 4 choices under file handling
1. Add photos to catalog without moving.
2. Copy photos to new location and add to catalog.
3. Move photos to a new location and add to catalog.
4. Copy photos a Digital Negative (DNG) and add to catalog.
My RAW files are already on an external hard drive and organized in labeled folders so I wish to "Add photos to catalog without moving"... but I ALSO want to convert these RAW images to DNG files on import. What do I choose to apply the "add the photos to catalog without moving" AND at the same time convert those files from RAW to DNG files on import?
Will this add the newly created and imported DNG files into the existing folders alongside the original source RAW files?
Under import preferences / Import DNG creation, Is it best to leave the Compressed (Lossless) option checked or unchecked?
What's best for preview creation? Minimal or 1:1. I will not be working on many images at once so speed is less valuable than disk space.

Bennett, this is how I do it. Choose File/import from disk. Select raw images to import. Select last option, "Copy photos as DNG & add to catalog." Under "copy to", click down arrow, and browse to the folder containing original files. In the "Organize" window, select "into one folder" if you want them to be in the same folder as originals. Select "by original folders" if you want LR to put it in a sub-folder that it will name. Leave Compressed (Lossless) checked. There is also an option to re-name the files if you prefer. As for previews, Minimal will import much quicker, but LR will build larger previews later. I have tried it both this way, and importing as 1:1. I do not see much difference in working with files that were imported as 1:1 or minimal. LR seems to take about the same time to stop "working" on it before I can.

IPhoto 4.0.3 crashes on import from disk or camera

Whenever I try to import photos from my Canon camera or from a disk folder, the iPhoto program crashes. No files are imported. This means I can no longer add photos to my iPhoto library.
Can anyone suggest how I can recover from this problem?
I am running a single iPhoto library with about 5500 images in it.
I am using iPhoto 4.0.3 (4H2).

Import from catalog problems

Cannot import from catalog, LR quits and I get about 2 or 3 photos imported.
Adobe was no help, they had no idea why.
Have tried to "import from Cat" twice. Moving two different catalogs into my main desktop catalog. Both did not work.
All three catalogs ( two from laptop and my main LR cat) work fine and I can import photos no problem.
Would like to import all the changes of photos that I have made with these two catalogs that I did on my laptop. (Both cats are on an external hard drive).
Thoughts anyone?
I am having some issues with my video card. Screen right now is a bit pink. This would be the fourth video card I will need on this Mac Pro. Would this be the cause?
Thanks.

Do I need to export the laptop cats if thy are already on a separate hard drive?
It might help. Exporting a catalog sometimes cures corruption in the original catalog. Try exporting into a new catalog and then importing the new one on your desktop.
Never heard of the last thing you mentioned. Can you describe more?
Lightroom has a preferences file, which sometimes gets corrupt and can cause all kinds of weard behaviour. You can delete (or rename away) the preferences file, and LR will build a fresh one when started. If you rename it, you will still have it if you decide you want it back.
To rename the preferences file, rename the file
"[username]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom3.plist"
to something like
"[username]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom3.plist.old"
while LR is closed and restart LR.

MAC import from CF problems

*have tried a search for this so apologies if this is covered elsewhere. I find these User to User forums very un-user friendly.*
Having used all 4 Beta versions without problems, I am now finding problems with v1. Granted, what Im now doing with v1 I didnt try with the Betas because the functionality wasnt there.
Plug in CF card and reader. Import dialogue comes up. Select "copy and import" so that files are copied to my HD and imported into LR's DB renaming as it does so according to my naming convention. Applying preset development options, metadate presets and keywords all at the same time. What a time saver. Fantastic. Just what I have always wanted!
Except it hangs every time. It usually gets to around half way through and LR just stops responding. I'm using a 1GB sandisk CF card so I'm talking arund 600 jpegs max per import.
I'm running MAC OSX 10.4 on a G5.
For the moment I'm back to using Bridge for renaming, then doing a separate import from the HD to LR.
Any clues?

Hi - I came to this forum specifically because of this issue to see if others were seeing it.
I am using some kind of generic usb 2.0 card reader, and a lexar 4GB cf card. I'm importing 1ds Mkii files. I've been using this reader and this card for a long long time (more than 1 year, maybe 2) with no problems before. The card reader is connected to it's own USB port. The firewire drive is the only thing connected via firewire. The other USB port has my kb/mouse. I'm using a DVI widescreen external monitor - which I just started using (I can't remember if I had this issue when I was using just the MB screen), with a res of something like 1650x1050.
At least five times (in 5 days) during import I've had lightroom lock up completely. The program won't force-quit. My computer won't even shut-down properly! I have to power-off and back on. I'm on a 1st gen macbook (core duo, not c2d), with 2GB ram, >40GB free on internal drive, and exporting to a 500GB external FW drive with lots of space. It's very unnerving to say the least.
The last time it happened (last night) I was only importing 28 files, so I don't think it has anything to do with the total number of files being imported. I have noticed, however, that if I start the import and then HIDE the application, or at least don't play with it in ANY WAY, it's seems reliable. I've imported > 175 images at once from this same card/reader with no issues that way. But if I'm impatient and I start scrolling around during the import (looking at the "most recent import" thumbs) it seems to happen more consistently.
Terrible! I'm in evaluation mode here, and generally lightroom feels 2x more responsive than aperture. I have aperture, and I'm trying to decide if I should convert to lightroom. This is a killer for me. It's not just having the force-quit the app - it's having to manually power-down the whole machine!

Import From Camera problem

I thought I'd try out the "Import From Camera" script as the first part of my workflow. I had a card with about 30 images on it taken with my Canon 1DMkII. I typically rename my files "YYMMDD_hhmmss", and although there is no explicit way to do this (EXIF Capture Date) with IFC it appeared that using the "modified date" option gave the same results.
I ran the script and immediately encountered several errors - the script said that "One or more of the downloaded image filenames match filenames in the specified destination folder ..." I knew this wasn't the case since all images were taken at different times.
Is there another way to use the EXIF date within IFC? Is this a script I can modify myself in some way?
It does almost everything I want, but the renaming part is the deal-killer.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Try using a card reader. That way you can open the memory card as it were an external volume, select and drag the files in small groups to a folder on the Desktop. That way you can isolate those files that are causing the problem.
If there are only a few files that won't cooperate you may have to sacrifice them so you can reformat the memory card using the camera and then test it with some test photos and videos.
Is it just videos that won't copy? See if you can determine which files are causing the problem.

Import from memory problem

Dear experts:
    When I am using 'import mi[] from memory ID Z_memory.', I don't know how many times can I import from the same memory ID. For example, I want to export once and need to import many times.
    My code is like this:
export mi[] to memory ID Z_memory.
import mi[] from memory ID Z_memory.
import mi[] from memory ID Z_memory.
   Could the second import successful?
   Thanks in advance.
regards,
tyrolu

hi tyrolu,
you can import from the memory for more time also....
why do you want to import same content many times in one program ? instead you can import it at once and you can use it many times right......

Import from disk still has a problem in1.3.1

I still have a problem importing more than one file at a time from a CD or DVD. I must first transfer all images I want to import to HD, than they will import fine. Running XP SP2. If one file on a disk is selected, it will import fine. If two or more are selected, I get an error message saying "Files can not be read."

I stopped running Airport Disk Agent because of my perception that it was causing Safari to crash sporadically on my machine; since turning it off, Safari has not crashed at all.
However, it is quite possible to connect to AEBSn drive without it:
Finder-->Go-->Network-->"Your Base Staiton Name"-->Connect (to available shares, among which your AEBSn-connected drive should be listed).
I have the drive on my desktop right now having used this approach, and aside from the generally acknowledged marginal (~2.0 MB/sec) performance of AEBSn-USB connected network drives everyting is fine.
(I have a simple network wherein the AEBSn is the only router downstream of a cable modem with Macs and peecee's connected wirelessly and a TiVo, a printer, and a 10/100 switch connected to the LAN ports.)

Importing from Eudora problems - html messages being displayed in plain text and problems with attachments

Hello,
I hope you can help me. I've imported all my emails from Eudora into Outlook 2010 but I have a couple of problems.
All emails that I've imported which had attachments with them have a notice on them saying the attachment has been blocked. I can always browse to the folder whereb my old attachments are stored, but this is still inconvenient.
Secondly, all my messages that I've sent in the past (html) are being displayed in plain text, which is making them difficult to read because of all the html tags being displayed.
Also with emails that I've sent in the past- there is no record of any attachments being sent with messages which I know had attachments with them.
Any ideas? I've trawled google and had no luck except finding programs that cost $70 that can import everything properly.
David

David:
I know this is a very old thread, but did you every figure out a way to fix the formatting of imported Eudora mail?
I just "upgraded" from Eudora to Outlook 2010 ...
and have 10 years worth of HTML formatted e-mail that now shows up as plain text with embedded html formatting ...
apparently it is a long-running problem that has roots in the way Eudora formats messages ...
Outlook and other e-mail clients all seems to have issues with importing and do not properly recognize HTML-formatted messages from Eudora ... very sad that I can no longer really "read" my old e-mail at this point ... :-(
See closing paragraphs here: http://its.uiowa.edu/support/article/2800
Same problem over at Mozilla going back 10+ years ... not sure if they fixed it..........

HT3345 Importing from xls problems with the date format (mixed european format)

Hi.
I made some spreadsheets with Neo Office and saved them in xls format. So I can import them in numbers, doing so in OpenOffice, LibreOffice or even the worst in Mircosoft Office on a PC works just fine. But importing them with Numbers 2.0.4 it just don't work.
I have Mac OSX 10.5.8 and a PowerPC G4 1,67 GHz.
The date format in all other programs is " 21.05.2011" and numbers creates "21/05/2011" out of it. Although my international setting is set to 23.05.2012. It defines the cells as my own format and takes than the totally wrong format.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem, or how to change all the weird own formats in my international setting, which would be correct.
Best regards.

Hi Franklin,
I used to have similar problem with date too. To make my forms and reports work for all date, I used to send the parameter from forms to the report in text format. In the report, I grab that parameter as "Text Format" (I mean the parameter created in Oracle Reports was really as Character in datatype property) then I manipulate them in my SQL to convert that "date" into real date using TO_DATE function. Usually I use DD-MM-YYYY as my date format.
Hope this help.
Regards,
Franko Lioe
Hello friends at www.oracle.com,
when I sent some informations to Reports, one of these informations was a date field. Here, the format mask may vary from one computer to another - some computers here are using american date format; however, my computer was using brazilian date format.
The fact is that I was sending date information to Reports using the mask dd/mm/yyyy, and Reports (in the computer that uses american date format) couldn't recognize it, stating that I was sending an invalid month. So I had to change my date information to dd-mon-yyyy and Reports could run in the other computer, but doesn't run here anymore - fact that obligated me to change my date format to american format.
Is there any way for me to use a date format mask that's valid to all computers here? If other computers - with other format masks - meet the same problem, the use of this program may become something very complicated.
Thanks for all answers,
Franklin Gongalves Jr.

Import from iphone problem

Since the last Aperture update, I am having probelms with the app recognizing my iPhone 4 as a camera. If I plug in my phone, Aperture launches but it does not "see" the camera.
So far the only way I can figure to resolve this is to quit Aperture, unplug the phone, replug the phone in first and then relaunch Aperture. Seems to work but it's something that shouldn't be happening, so anyone else having this problem?

Well yes and no - yes I have restarted my system many times while continuing to have this problem. (And no, I don't restart my system every time it happens as it seems to make no difference.)
I had a helpful suggestion from AppleMan1958 to try unchecking the Photo Stream option in iCloud (System Preferences) and when I did this, it started working fine again. So clearly there is some bug or configuration issue between using Photo Stream and the way Aperture imports photos. I'm trying to research this more now.
Thanks

In Lr4 how do I import from disk?

I have been using Lr4 trial and decided to purchase a hard copy of the software. Having installed Lr4 from the DVD I created a new catalog and imported my 2012 images. However it did not import the edited versions of the RAW files saved as JPEGs. Try as I may I can find no way of importing these edited copies to my catalog. There must be away as in Lr2 I could search my files and Ctr+click on images to import. This is beginning to drive me nuts as I try in vain to find a way around this problem. So any help in resolving this issue will be very gratefully received.

Hi Rikk
I tried that several times and it still would not pickup the edited images. However in desperation I unistalled/reinstalled Lr4 checked the box again and with fingerd crossed reimported my files and wonder of wonders it picked up all the edited RAW files, at last. I can only assume that there must have been a glitch during the original install process but with luck the problem has now gone for good. Thanks for your input.

Copying Ordering Address in Cart when importing from MDM: Problem

Hi,
There is are two enhancements in my scenario. My problem is in part 2 but to understand part 1 is required to mention.
Part1: Configuring new partner function in SPRO for ECC ordering address vendor. As a result one separate section named "Ordering Address" got appeared in shopping cart screen.-->This one Is running fine
Part 2: When I will import MDM items by "Add to Shopping cart" at the time of creation of shopping cart, all fields including Ordering Address for the corresponding main vendor "Source of supply tab) will be populated automatically.
For this I had to write the following code-logic in the SC_CHANGE method of BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI.
loop at it_item
Reading the vendor which is in Source of supply screen
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_CTR_GETDETAIL'
   EXPORTING
     i_object_id               = wa_item-ctr_hdr_number
     i_read_flags              = X
   TABLES
     e_partner                 = i_partner.
now read i_partner with partner function (lets say 00000701) and then append this partner into ET_PARTNER table.
I copied the partner_guid and p_guid of main vendor(lets say partner func = 00000019) to get reflect into the shopping cart "Ordering Address" tab While appending.
I tested shopping cart getting populated with desire result and going into "ordered" state.
But when I check the Purchase Order (which has just got generated as a result of shopping cart creation) I found one hyperlink named "SEVERAL" for "ODERING ADDRESS" instead of any value.
Also I checked the line item and saw not all line items has desired ordering address under "PARTNER" tab.
Can any body help me out why this auto generated PO has problem with Ordering Address where as I can see the Shopping Cart got created properly with desired OA value for every line item.
Is this due to Partner_GUI or P_GUID value which I am manipulating within BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI badi.
Thanks

Hi Rosa,
We have a similar requirement, and so it would be helpful if you elaborate the functionality of your final solutions.

Menus Imported from Photoshop (problem)

So I design a menu in Ps, then bring it into DVDsp, and i have my little "play all" - and "scene selection"
in the corner of the jpeg, how to i get that to become highlighted, when in a dvd player, so you are able to select them with a remote, say a shadow of a color over them? anyone follow me?

Apart from the instructions above about creating a standard overlay menu, please note the reference to using a .pict file and not a jpeg... jpegs have a compression applied to them which just ends up looking ugly - use .pict or .tiff instead and your menus will look better.
You can also simply import your image as a background to a menu and add a button rectangle by clicking and dragging over the areas on the background where you want your buttons to be. Then, using the property inspector you can set the 'style' for the button and make all sorts of different effects happen when it is selected, including the 'simple button' effect of having the entire rectangle change colour. This is a simple way of creating the overlay effects and is built in to DVDSP if you didn't want to go back out to Photoshop... however the better route is to use Photoshop, IMO.
