After initial import, I end up with tons of duplicates

I bought my first Mac (macbook) about 3 months ago and am just trying iPhoto. I keep ending up with several copies of the same photos when I initiate the import. The Mac setup as folders is a little confusing to me but I chose the folders that had my photos I wanted to import. Not only do I get many copies of the same photos, I also get system icons transferred over.
Any help or advice is appreciated, thanks.

What are you dragging into iPhoto to import? If you getting some system icons then you're selecting some system folders it appears.
If you still have the photos on your hard drive outside of iPhoto create a new library (launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and select "Create new..." ) and drag just the individual folder(s) that contain the image files into iPhoto. Make sure the contents of the imported folder contains only the jpg or image files.

  • Photos missing from project after initial import

    I'm having an issue where after initial importing pictures into Aperture, I can no longer find them within the project.  Initially I can see them fine after the import, but when I relaunch Aperture, they are gone. The project itself exists and I when I move the cursor over the project icon, I can see the images (and they also appear in project info), but when I click on the project, it has no photos inside it. I have checked and it appears all filters are turned off from the browser view.
    Also, when I try to re-import the photos, Aperture identifies them as duplicates.
    I did have an issue a month ago where Aperture crashed a few times while trying to import.  I repaired permissions and the database, but am still getting a warning to repair the database each time I open Aperture.  I have not yet run rebuild, as I am concerned about this messing up the library (I am current on my backups).
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Independent of Tony's suggested fix, it looks like you are having a more general problem. We need to know more to see, what might be causing this. What version of Aperture are you using? What is your MacOS X version?
    It would be good to know, if your frequent "repair"  problem only occurs for your current Aperture library. Create a new, empty Aperture library and import a few test images.
    Do you have the same problem with a new library?
    If not, where is your Aperture library stored? In the default location in "Pictures" or on an external drive? Are you sharing your library with other user accounts? How much free disk space do you have?

  • GL : after journal import currency conversion type change to User

    Hi
    I have following data in GL_Interface table
    User_currency_conversion-type = 'Corporate'
    Currency_conversion_date = '9/21/2008' ( Get from Gl_Daily_rates)
    Currency_conversion_rate = Null
    As per GL_Daily_Rates the conversion_rate is 1.5 for this currency to functonal currency.
    After journal import, gl_je_header is populated with
    User_currency_conversion-type = 'User'
    Currency_conversion_date = '9/21/2008'
    Currency_conversion_rate = 1
    Can you please explain, why the User_currency_conversion-type and Currency_conversion_rate are changed to above values ?
    If you have any good document of "Journal Import Rules and Logic" , please share
    Thaks in Advance

    Hello Mr. G. Lakshmipathi,
    Thanks! I'll try this function module READ_EXCHANGE_RATE.
    However, I think this issue is not really related to the exchange rate. The amount conversion from USD to JOD happens correctly based on the current pricing forumla that we are using i.e. amounts in JOD have 3 decimals after conversion from USD, but when they are stored in pricing structure, the last decimal is truncated as the currency against the 3 condition types is USD (USD has 2 decimals). Hence, the amounts have 2 deicmals.
    Thanks,
    Amit

  • Importing error Ended with return code:  === 8 ===

    Hi Experts,
    I am trying to transporting an infoobject 0EMPLOYEE from Dev to Production.While importing the request I am getting an error like
    Execution of programs after import (XPRA)
    Transport request   : BD1K901543

    Version and release: 372.04.36 700

    Ended with return code:  ===> 8 <===
    after expanding this error msg i am getting
    Start of the after-import method RS_IOBJ_AFTER_IMPORT for object type(s) IOBJ (Activation Mode)
    Characteristic 0CM_CTAR: Unit 0UNIT_DIM no allowed in compounding
    Characteristic 0CM_SHAR: Unit 0AREA_UNIT no allowed in compounding
    by clicking on the error mag
    Diagnosis;
    If the characteristic is used in an InfoProvider with dimensions (for example, an InfoCube or MultiProvider), the compounded unit is not unique if currency key figures are used at the same time.
    System Response
    This type of modeling is not supported.
    Procedure
    Replace the currency with a different characteristic. If you nevertheless want to use a unit in the compounding, you should use the modeling of a characteristic that semantically represents a unit. To do so, copy the technical properties of the unit of measure or the currency.
    How can I solve this problem?
    Can add any other char to this compounding char is it works?if yes which currency char i need to add here?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sridhar

    Hi Sridhar,
            I am facing the problem with 0CM_CTAR and 0CM_SHAR. both the characteristics are not allowed compouding ATTRIBUTES.
      0cm_ctar not allowed comp .attr of 0unit_dim
      0cm_shar not allowed comp.attr 0f area_unit.
    for this reason what i need to do. Please give me help on this.

  • FCP- compressor to blu-ray- I end up with a ton of extra chapters!

    I have a 2 hour (1:55) 1080p29.97 pro-res timeline (and media) that I have exported to self contained movie with Chapter Markers selected. I imported to Compressor and the correct amount of chapter markers showed up. I then used the presets (although lowered bit-rate to 26 average and set for multi-pass) for blu-ray and used the end action to create a blu-ray. All looks great except I ended up with about 10 extra chapters about 2/3 the way in the movie, they are unnamed on the menu screen. Plus, I have one that has a time at about 3-hours (which is of course far outside of the movie length).
    This all after a 48-hour encode in compressor. I checked my sequece in Final Cut and it only has the chapter markers I intended, and they all are named. Any ideas on where to look for what might be causing this? I wish I could just edit the .img file to remove the unwanted chapters, but am not finding a solution for that either.
    I am using the latest Leopard (not Snow Leopard) and the latest version of FCS.

    OK. Up until C4.0, Qmaster was a stand-alone application and accessible through the Preference Pane in Systems Preferences. In C4.0, and until 4.0.7, it became an embedded app – found within the Compressor.app file. That's why you don't ordinarily encounter the Qmaster file…you have to go digging to find it. (And it's altogether different in 4.1)

  • Images NOT importing to iPhoto library, I only end up with thumbnails.

    I am importing images to my iPhoto 11 library, but I only end up with thumbnails. Originals are NOT importing as masters. In Advanced Preferences, I DO have 'Copy items to iPhoto Library' checked. I have tried importing jpg's from a folder and a DVD, and results are always the same - thumbnails only, no originals to be found.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I got the same problem, BUT it didn't worked on my iPhoto, i have also tried to rebuild it whit ¨iPhoto Library Manager¨ that didn't worked to.
    I have a iMac 21.5 ultimo 2013 2,9 GHz Intel Core i5, and i bought it from another guy, so i just wanted to start my ¨new¨ iMac on a fresh, didn't wanna use my backup file on my Time Machine, everything else (what i wanted to have on my iMac, like files, programs, musik) i have on my old MacBook is now on my iMac, except all my photo´s.
    I can't find a way to get it, only have thumbnail in iphoto, i can't get the masters to open up.
    Can you please help me??

  • Since changing over to Mountain Lion I discover that I am no longer able to adjust spaces between lines. If I choose spacing of 1.3 after two lines single-spaced, the entire previous lines end up with 1.3 spacing. What am I missing?

    Since changing over to Mountain Lion I discover that I am no longer able to adjust spaces between lines. If I choose spacing of 1.3 after two lines single-spaced, the entire previous lines end up with 1.3 spacing. What am I missing?

    Do those previous lines have a Return/Linefeed after them, or are they just wrapped to a new line?

  • After initial iphoto import, how do I add (or sync) new events that were...

    put into iphoto.
    It seems that after you import the iphoto library that is like a snapshot in time of what your iphoto library looked like. Well, I import to iphoto from my camera and Aperture doesn't seem to reflect these new events that were created. Am I missing something here?

    But your comment about writing a novel in Text and Word together is a little off, no offense. The fact remains you can make changes to a file in both apps and the mods will be persisted. The file is the data and app allows the user to interact with the data.
    My comment about Word and TextEdit was an analogy, and they are not perfect. But this is not true:
    The fact remains you can make changes to a file in both apps and the mods will be persisted. The file is the data and app allows the user to interact with the data.
    No, you cannot actually make changes to any file in either app. You can process the photos and save the changes as a Modified Version (in iPhoto) in the database (in Aperture) but in neither app do you change the original file. Further, If you do this in iPhoto then Aperture is unaware of these changes, and vice versa, unless you import the modified versions to the other app. The relationship between them is not dynamic, nor designed to be.
    When using iPhoto I would rsync my Originals off to another drive periodically. After some exploration, I noticed Aperture has a file structure called Masters. It is different for iPhoto in that it looks like Masters/<year>/<month>/<day/<yearMonthDay-time>/*.jpeg.
    My question is there any way to change this a more iphoto way like Originals/<year>/<importDate>/*.jpeg?
    This question turns up almost daily in some form on the forum So have a search around abot Referenced Masters, or check out the Manual.
    In brief, no you cannot change the structure of the internals of the Aperture Library. However, you don't have to store the files there. You can reference your Masters from anywhere you want, sorted in any folder structure you prefer.
    Can I apply changes in a destructive way? Sometimes I don't care about preserving the original.
    No. Like iPhoto, that's simply impossible to do. Aperture is designed to work in exactly the opposite way.

  • Importing complete and working KM configuration ends up with many errors

    Hello,
    I would like to transport a complete KM configuration from one portal to another, both portals are on the same SP and patch levels. The KM configuration on the source portal is working fine and has no errors in it.
    I have used the Export feature and exported the complete KM configuration from the source portal. The problem is that when I preview import this configuration in the destination portal I see it will end up with many errors, most of them are due to missing references, for example:
    ImportExportConfigException: Upgrade error: "java.lang.Exception: Unable to find the Metadata archive "kmc.util.ctx" that is required for the Metadata archive "coll.appl.ui.gw.gwui"" Inner exception is: Unable to find the Metadata archive "kmc.util.ctx" that is required for the Metadata archive "coll.appl.ui.gw.gwui"
    Or this:
    ConfigException: Cannot migrate the configuration object id "config://local/cm/ui/uicommand/QuickDetailsGroup" from configuration class "config://local/cm/ui/uicommand/UIGroupCommand" (step 2) as its values cannot be set Inner exception is: InvalidEntryException: Invalid commands:OpenAsWebDAVFolder,EditWithOffice
    These are errors related to SAP standard KM and not to custom configuration we may have applied and is under our responsibility.
    I would have thought that when exporting a complete and perfectly working KM config from one portal to another then there shouldn't be any missing files or refrences problems.
    Any ideas...?
    Roy

    I have opened up an OSS with SAP on that and they have said that these errors would indicate that the KMC deployment might have been corrupted during installation. A redeployment as per sap note 895523 would be the best way to eliminate any problems that may have been caused by such an incomplete deployment.
    I am marking this question as answered although did not try this solution as we have decided to go for a full system copy, but just thought it will be worth leaving this note on this thread for other people.

  • Windows 2008 R2 domain controllers with Windows 2003 forest functional level Supported after Windows 2003 support ends in July 2015

    Hi
    Anyone knows whether Windows 2008 R2 domain controllers with Windows 2003 forest functional level will still be Supported after Windows 2003 support ends in July 2015 ?
    Thanks

    When Windows Server 2003 support ends, you should not have a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller running if you would like to be supported by Microsoft. This means that there will be no reason to have a DFL or FFL that is lower than Windows Server 2008.
    So, if you are keeping Windows Server 2003 FFL to keep DCs running Windows Server 2003 then this is not supported.

    Having mail 4.5 issues- open mail and get a new features message that says in order to use the new features, I must import existing messages into the new version first in order to use mail 4.5.  Just recently put in MAC OSX 10.6.7.  Once it imports I am to click done to start using mail, but end up with the rainbow wheel of death and it also says you cannot use mail until the import is finished? Now What?

    Is Mail still "spinning"?  If it's been doing that for a while, I'd kill it, using either Activity Monitor or the OS X application picker.  Then relaunch Mail and see what happens.
    Two "by the ways":
    1) Your system details mention an PPC iMac.  Since a non-Intel Mac can't run OS X 10.6, you seem to have another Mac.  You might want to consider updating your system details.
    2) You seem to have been misled by the poor labeling of the message composition fields on this forum into trying to enter your entire post into the "subject" field.  In the future, just enter a summary of your post there and the main text into the field below it.
