9.0.6 crash - import dialog

Hi all,
After upgrading yesterday, iMovie will no longer work. I don't have the file that others have mentioned in my quicktime library, and I've also run iphoto since the update but it still crashes.
In particular, anytime I try and bring up the import window it will crash. Anyone out there have any success working around Apple's update from yesterday?
Thanks,
Matt

I also do not have this 3ivx file that people are saying to delete. I moved many other third party components that I found there too, but had no luck. Anyone know what else may be causing this?

  • Crashing in Import Dialog

    As I was forced to start a new catalog with LR4, I selected a few directories of photos to import (about 100 photos). A few seconds after import started and I saw photos appearing, LR4 quit.
    Re-opening shows only about 5 photos in the catalog (I had seen more just before the crash)
    So I import again to grab more...
    Now, whenever I go to the import dialog, as soon as I so much as move my mouse over any directory of my hard drive, LR4 quits.
    Really want to try this with my latest set of photos, but I can't do anything if I can't get my photos in!
    MacOS 10.7.2.

    I had to delete and start a new catalog. It crashed again when importing multiple directories but this time did not have an issue with coming back into the dialog. I imported directories one at a time and everything imported successfully.
    A few more crashing moving around or doing nothing.
    But when I go to develop, I just get a grey screen with no photo selected (while it says 1 photo selected below).
    So I still can't try it!
    I will try the whole process again later when I have more time.

  • Import dialog preference - can't turn off

    When I insert a memory card or thumb-drive the import dialog appears. I have gone to edit preferences to change this setting more than a dozen times, yet next time it happens again and the preference has been checked again. I had a hard drive crash so I had to reinstall all my software (Vista 32bit and Lightroom 2). Prior to the crash I didn't have this problem. I don't know whether to blame Microsoft or Adobe. Has anybody else experienced this problem? Any clues as to how I can shut it off *permanently*?
    Thanks,
    Carey

    This problem comes up over and over again, but Adobe just ignores it.  It's bad enough installing the uploader without asking you.  It's worse that it sometimes (always?) gets uploaded by Photoshop end Elements so you can have 3 versions on your system.  But the icing on the cake is you can't make it work the way you want it to.  It's about time Adobe woke up and listened to their customers.  (Bring back RawShooter!)

  • Creating a new folder starts up import dialog box...

    When I click the plus sign on the folders panel, it takes me to the create folder dialog where I can browse to the location of the new folder.
    Sometimes, after clicking OK, LR then starts up the import dialog box with a heap of images to import which I then need to cancel. I should have checked where the images were from but have not thought to do so before this post.
    Anyway, is there any functionality in LR that should import images when a new folder is created? I think this happens when I don't have a folder selected...not sure.. away from LR at the moment.
    As an aside, I wish you could click the + on the folders panel and LR would create a subfolder at the selected location with the name ready to edit, rather than going to a new dialog and having to browse to the location.

    >"Anyway, is there any functionality in LR that should import images when a new folder is created? I think this happens when I don't have a folder selected...not sure.. away from LR at the moment. "
    I can't duplicate this. Whether I have highlighted an existing LR folder or not, clicking the "+" brings up the create folder dialog, I browse to a location and create a subfolder. That folder then becomes a LR folder. If I do have a current LR folder highlighted, the process (or just right clicking on the folder name and choose "Create Folder") brings up the create folder dialog with the current LR folder as the parent. I can create a new folder and it will become a LR subfolder of the highlighted one.
    >"As an aside, I wish you could click the + on the folders panel and LR would create a subfolder at the selected location with the name ready to edit, rather than going to a new dialog and having to browse to the location."
    Actually, the new dialog that opens for me (as described above) places me in the selected folder - all I do is click the create folder button in that window and a new subfolder is made. I think the reason LR won't just create a new subfolder without going to a new dialog is that the folders panel lists the "LR folders" which are a parallel universe to the "real folders" on your drive. Perhaps the LR engineers thought that by providing you with the browser/creator dialog, they were giving you more control. Who knows.

  • Lightroom won't open Import dialog box

    Lightroom was working fine, but recently started locking up as soon as I click on import to bring up the import dialog box.  Other than that, lightroom appears to be running fine and zippy, but as soon as I click the button or go through file menu it freezes.  I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on a Core i7 with 8 GB of ram.  Things I have tried are below:
    Restoring Windows to before last critical update.
    Uninstalling Antivirus SW
    Uninstalling and Reinstalling Lightroom (reinstall was fresh from Creative Cloud to make sure it was the most recent version)
    Creating a new catalog
    Updating HW drivers
    Tried with cards/reader/usb devices in and out
      Any ideas because my next step is to format the HD and try a fresh install of windows and everything else?
    Thanks,

  • LR3 Import dialog - Missing "Show in Library" option when importing existing photos

    Please add the option "Show in Library" into the right click menu when attempting to import a photo that already exists in the LR3 catalog. It was a convenient feature in LR2 to jump directly to the existing photo. In LR3 I must cancel the import dialog and search the photo manually.

    Thanks Sean.  Your reply worked.  I found them in the wrong drive.  Now I'll see if I can fix it.

  • Import dialog doesn't appear (OS X)

    When I connect my SanDisk Firewire memory card reader to my Mac Pro, Lightroom doesn't open and the import dialog doesn't appear. This worked fine on my previous G5. iPhoto isn't opening either... nothing happens at all when I plug in the reader.

    Chris, you may have already done this, but be sure to check 'Show Import Dialog when a Memory card is detected' under Import in LR PReferences, as well.

  • LR5 Import dialog does not list any images

    Lightroom 5 is not seeing that a folder of images I'm trying to import has any images in it. The folder is question has well over 5,000 jpegs (it's my iPhone image depository). While I was able to import images from this folder with no problem in LR4, LR5 is telling me that there are no images in the folder. I've double checked that all my import settings are normal and the same as LR4 and it doens't matter. No matter what I do, I cannot get LR5 to see that there are any images in this folder to import.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Antonio

    "If the folder already exists in the Folder panel, select it and Choose Library > Synchronize Folder."
    It doesn't exist in the Folder panel. It never has. It would mess up my workflow to have it as such. I only import from this folder.
    Try (via finder) moving a few of the images in the folder to another folder that has been cataloged. Then synchronize that folder to see if the images show.
    I did this and the images showed up fine, so there is nothing wrong with the image files.
    Instead of invoking the Import Dialog first, drag an image from th Camera Roll folder onto the Library module or the Lr icon. That will bring up the import dialog. see if you get the same results.
    Did this and it did not work.
    Why this is strange is that I have no problem importing from the same folder in Lightroom 4. Something has changed here in LR5.

  • Import weirdness and import dialog box

    I'm in the import box and I want to import just the RAW (DNG) files from a folder and not the accompanying JPEGs. First strange thing I notice is that Aperture is telling me that the JPEG files are roughly the same size as the RAw files. I thought I could sort the list by file size, knowing that the RAw files would all be bigger than the JPEGs. Wrong. Aperture is giving me bogus file sizes for the JPEGs. I went to the Finder to double check and, surely enough, the average JPEG file size is about 2.5 megabytes. Aperture has got them listed, on averages, as 15 megabyte files. So I cannot sort by file size.
    So, I go down to the sort drop-down menu at the bottom of the Import box and I can only sort by File Name, File Size, or Image Date; the Custom is greyed out. How do I access the "Custom" sort feature in the Import Dialog box? And why is Aperture giving me bogus file sizes for my JPEGs?
    Aperture is in sore need of a real update.

    jrg_uk has the answer. The list view is often ignored, or just plain forgotten!
    See here for metadata set information:

  • LR 3.3 Import Dialog - Can imports be filtered by file type?

    I sometimes use a Canon S95 point and shoot and a workaround to have RAW images AND a certain aspect ratio (such as square) is to shoot with the RAW + JPEG setting. This allows me to shoot in any aspect ratio with out cropping in post. For this reason, my import dialog in LR shows both the RAW images and the corresponding JPEG images. Often I wish to simply dump the JPEGs and keep the RAWs.
    Is there any way to selectively check or select just the RAWs other than having to hand check each and every RAW while avoiding the JPEGs. In other words, is there a way to filter or segregate just what you want to import by file type.
    Thanks for your help!

    Ian, thanks so much for your reply. However that material in the link was WAY over my head. Now that I know that indeed I cannot filter by file type in the import dialog, I will simply import all and delete the JPEGs once in the library module where I can quickly filter by file type and delete the unwanted files there. Thanks for helping me out.

  • Doubled list of Develop Presets in Import dialog?

    Hi all, I'm running a week-old trial copy of LR3.3 on Windows, and I seem to have a doubled set of Develop Presets in the Import dialog's 'Apply During Import' dropdown menu. However, I just get the single list in the Presets panel of the Develop module.
    More specifically, in the Import dropdown menu, I get:
    An alphabetical listing of all built-in presets (with no user presets), followed by another alphabetical listing of all built-in presets, this time with the user presets.
    So for example, if there are 20 built-in presets and 1 user preset, my Import dialog dropdown has 41 lines.
    Any suggestions?

    No, factory presets are embedded inside Lightroom and cannot be removed.
    Well, actually, they can, but this is undocumented and you'll have to do it after each update.

  • Vignetting In Import Dialog Box

    Can anyone tell me how to fix the thumbnail vignette in the import dialog box of version 3.2? The thumbnails have a vignette until I mouse over them or select them. Is there a setting to turn this off?

    Well, I think you should reconsider your rationales for this statement.  You can not like the new behaviour, and that is fine.
    But as soon as you say "should not" or ""not needed" I disagree.  This is sensible UI design.  You have deliberately expressed no interest in the image to be imported; it greys out the thumbnail to subtly remove the image from your attention....
    Turn the question around.  What value does a bright thumbnail give you if you have already decided to not import the image this session?
    The value is that it's far easier to see which thumbnails you want to check for importing.  Sometimes, I just need a few, so I start with "uncheck all" and want to re-check those few I want to import.  I personally hate the vignetting too, and have altered my workflow to avoid it.
    Well maybe the words 'should not and 'need not' are a little strong  and maybe some peopke like this new feature. Personally, when I load a  card into my reader I like to scan the import dialog thumbnails in a  grid view with smaller thumbnails. I give them a quick scan with my eyes  and choose only the ones I want to import leaving out perhaps the under  exposed files so that I dont have to bother with them in the Library  Module to delete them there. Now that they are darker when unselected in the  import area it is harder to do this. As I said maybe 'should not' and  'need not' are a little strong but Adobe should be able in this version  to turn that option on or off with a check mark the way that they have  with 'do not import suspected duplicates'.

  • LR3 Bug - No import dialog and menu flash

    If I go to the "File" menu and choose "Import photos" nothing happens; when I try again, the menu (and all others) will just flash whenever I try to select it.  I did notice that the import progress bar above the navigator panel in the Library Module is showing as if the import dialog is open.  I've tried repeatedly and cannot get the import dialog to open...it was fine yesterday.  Ideas?

    And what happens if you delete the dot at the end of the folder name?

  • Import dialog shows iPhone twice, and photo list only shows outlines

    In Aperture 2.1.2 I have been able to import photos from my iPhone until just recently. Now the import dialog shows three choices of import devices/locations, Local Disk, RJH iPhone and a second RJH iPhone. If I select either iPhone the main window displays outlines of 7 images but no picture information except for the filename. If I actually try to import the pics it says 'Import completed with errors, the following files were not imported' and it lists all the filenames. One of the iPhone devices shows up in the import list EVEN WHEN THE iPHONE IS NOT CONNECTED!
    I'm sure there is a plist or something that has the list of import devices bu I have not been able to find it despite extended web and support searches.
    Anyone heard of this?

    OK, I have since discovered that the second iPhone device is listed only when my iPhone is plugged into a DIFFERENT USB port on my MBP. If I plug it into the same port I usually use, it is only listed one. However, both Aperture and iPhoto still see one iPhone device whether it is plugged in or not, and both show images with outlines only and won't import photos. So strange
