Automatic import problem

Can someone tell me what I may be doing wrong. When I place a CD in my CD player it boots it to iTunes, names the songs and checks the songs. Howeverl, to import the songs I have to import the songs individually from the CD. Is there any way that I can place the CD in the CD player and automatically do the entire importing?

no problem!
(i found this saves so much time during the first big CD-importing sessions with itunes, although i switched back to "show songs" once i'd finished with that.)
love, b

How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photostream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.

New Photo app on Mac.
How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photo stream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.
With iPhoto every new photo was automatically imported and saved on my local disk (with "full resolution" that's what I only need). In the new photo app I have still my photo stream and when I move a photo (drag and drop from the photo stream) to a new album it indicates a (plus). My understanding is that the photo is now copied to my local disk. But when I deleted the photo in the photo stream it was also deleted in the album !?
If that is the case I can use the photo stream only until I reach the max of 1.000 photos, then I have to delete photos and I will have no copy left.
How can I "physically" copy a photo of the photo stream to my local disk? I just want to "transfer" all pictures taken with Ipads, Iphones to my central storage on the Mac. Please don't propose to connect it via iTunes (cable) to the Mac.
Any other suggestions?
thx

The amazing device cannot do it because no amazing developer has written an app for it. There is some interest, others have asked, but i have a hunch that the market is fairly limited, and no developer has jumped at the chance just yet.
Any sort of tethered approach means try to feed the material to the pad thru the cck. Which means the app would have to use the allowed/existing cck pathway in a manner that does not violate the sandbox rules. That may be the problem.

LR3.2 import problem on computer with Windows OS

LR3.2 import problem on Windows OS
This is a continuation of a question that I posed on August 22, 2010 in the discussion string "Cannot import CR2". I have not been able to resolve the issue of importing an image into an existing folder location. I had not been able to work on this issue for a number of weeks due to other circumstances, until today.   Note that the following people had attempted to provide answers and suggestions already: ssprengel, JayS In CT.
I use a laptop with a Windows operating system and a Macintosh desktop with Snow Leopard. I run Lightroom on both of them. The Windows laptop has Windows Vista Home service pack 2, version 6.0 [6002]. Around August 12th I upgraded from Lightroom 2 [481478], to Lightroom 3 on the laptop. I left the LR2 on the laptop as well as LR3. On September 12th I upgraded the laptop to LR3.2. No other changes have been to the laptop or its software applications that I know of.
My current attempts at resolving the issue reveal that when I created a new catalog "Test Catalog" in LR3 and saved that catalog to my desktop new folder labeled "Test Catalog" that I can import an image into LR3.2 to a new folder on the laptop's desktop. I then deleted the images via LR3.2 Folders Remove function and tried to import the images into an existing folder as presented in the LR3.2 Import dialog, but get the error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read.".   When I import images into a new folder placed on the desktop, I can use all functions in LR3 e.g. Develop module. I cannot import images into existing folders on the laptop's hard drive - I have tried importing into the entire existing folders in the following hierarchy: c:\users\Michael\My Documents\My Pictures\2010 but always get the same error message.
LR3.2 does correctly backups upon exiting each time I quit the program, so I know that there isn't any issue of writing to that backup folder which is contained in an upper folder that contains the lightroom catalogs. I have even created a new Word file, saved it into the folder with Lightroom catalogs, opened it up, modified it, saved it, and saw that it works OK, so that tells me there is no problem with a Read-Only folder attribute.
I cannot recall if upon the upgrade from LR2.6 to LR3 that I chose to upgrade the catalog to LR3 version. Would that matter, if yes, what do I verify, how do I manual upgrade the catalog.
History of actions between August 10th that I have taken follows between the [[[[ and ]]]]:
[[[[Preference settings for Default Catalog are set to start with a specific catalog that I call "Lightroom master catalog", it is not set to the "Load most recent catalog".
All of the following were using my laptop: Previously I had no problem with LR2 for any functions. I just purchased an Epson 7000 media storage device, and in early August and practiced importing images into LR2, and those images were pulled in OK. Next, I upgraded to LR3. I discovered that the Epson's images had been placed into a wrong folder when I opened LR3. I used the remapping function in LR3 to move the images into the correct folder. Next, I used a SanDisk card reader to import images into LR3 into an existing folder of images, but the following error message appeared "the following files were not imported because they could not be read" (Import Results said 'some import operations were not performed'). I tried importing a single image, and multiple images, but had the same error. I tried switching the card reader to each of 4 different USB port on the laptop, with the same error occurring on each USB port used.
In order to try to isolate the problem. I took the SanDisk card reader with the memory card and successfully imported the images into LR3 on my Macintosh desktop computer; so to me the problem is not the card reader or the memory card. I also used the SanDisk recovery disk while using my laptop to look at the files on the memory card and I could see all the images correctly while in the recovery program, but I have not copied the images to the laptop's hard disk, and have not tried an import into the laptop's LR3. I did not import images directly from my camera to the laptop LR3 since I did not think it would help with the troubleshooting.
I then ran the Repair from the Adobe LR3 CD upgrade disk, on my laptop. Then I tried doing the import using the SanDisk reader and memory card, but the same problem occurred and same error message, that the files could not be imported (I was trying to import into a folder of existing images). I then used the Laptop's Control Panel function to remove LR3 application. Then I did a fresh upgrade of LR3 on my laptop, but the same error message and I am unable to do any import of the memory card from the card reader. I then tried to do an image import from the Epson 7000 into the laptop, and the same error message and I am unable to do any import into a folder with existing images.   I then tried doing an image import into LR2 on the laptop, and got the same problem to occur when trying to import into an existing folder of images. I have a couple of Canon EOS SLR digital cameras, and the issue occurs for any of the file types of the cameras.
Went into LR3 Preferences, General Tab, I now checked the previously unchecked box for Import Options - "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected".
Connected the Canon XTi directly with a cable to the laptop computer. Note that Canon's information said that Picture Transfer Protocol is automatically used when the XTi is directly connected to a computer, so I did not need to change anything in the camera's menu for communications choices (there is no communication menu in fact). I selected one image and copied it to the laptop desktop. Tried to import it into LR3 into a folder of existing images but got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location." While in LR3, I changed the location of where the file would be copied into - any of my existing folders of images; tried 5 different folders, but kept getting the same error message.
With the card reader connected via USB port on the laptop, I copied one image file to the desktop, and then tried importing into LR3 into a folder of existing images. Got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location."]]]]

I am not clear if by 'import' you are trying to copy or move the files from a location to another or if you are adding the files to a catalog. My comments may not, therefore, be too helpful.
Firstly, with both LR2 and LR3 installed you will have both catalogs present, but if you try to open the LR2 catalog with LR3 you will be prompted to update the catalog. You will thus know which catalog you are working on.
Secondly, if you are reading direct from the camera, you should connect using the 'PC connection' mode.
Thirdly, there is an issue with reading .CR2 files directly from the early Canon DSLRs (in Europe named 300D, 350D, 400D). While they are visible with the Canon software, they can not be seen with Windows explorer nor can they be accessed with Lightroom.
I suggest that you take the CF card out of the camera and copy the files using Windows Explorer in to the destination folder. You are then sure that the files are on the PC.
If you have the right Codec installed, you can view them with Windows photo gallery; if you don't, you can use one of the Canon software packages to view the files. You are then sure that the files are not corrupted.
Then import the files to your LR catalog using the normal import routine selecting 'add without moving'. I have tried this routine successfully using my 350D using both LR1.x and LR3.x. If that doesn't work - I'm lost.

How do I keep itunes from automatically importing mp3's from other sources

I merge multiple files into single mp3 files. I used to be able to do this and add them to a folder to add to iTunes at a later point, at my leisure. Now, when I merge these into mp3 files, they are automatically being added to iTunes and it is driving me nuts. I use either internet explorer or google chrome. I have since deleted chrome as this problem started soon after I installed chrome. However, it is still automatically importing these files. I want to add them, but at a later point, not automatically. Any ideas on how I can make this stop?
Thanks.

Hmmm ... the only the possibility I can think of is that:
something is causing Windows to open the mp3 files as soon as they are created, and
iTunes is set as the default program for mp3 files
This would result on the behavior you are observing, though I'm not sure what the "something" would be. It may be worth trying this:
In Windows Explorer, select any mp3 file
right-click, select Open with and then Choose default program
Is iTunes selected here, like this?
If so, try changing the default to Windows Media Player, make sure the "Always use the selected program ..." box is checked, and click OK.
Now try your mp3 joining process again - when it finishes, does the mp3 file now open in Media Player rather than being added to iTunes? Even if so, this doesn't really solve the problem as I would expect the mp3 joiner program to just create the mp3 file and not subsequently try and open it ... however, this might give an indication whether this a direction to go in (or not).

How do I stop iTunes from automatically importing the songs I download?

I usually end up deleting a bunch of songs, but iTunes is automatically importing/adding the songs I download which then creates a lot of missing file links. How do I stop iTunes from doing that, I just want to be able to add them manually by folders.

I'm having a similar problem.
When I download songs via my MobileMe "iDisk" webpage, it will automatically end up in iTunes and starts playing. I set up my iDisk settings to place my downloads on my desktop, which it does, just fine.
Nonetheless iTunes ALWAYS wanting to be part of it, is really annoying.
I just DON'T want iTunes to start up, just because a download finished. I add songs manually myself when I want it.
Any advise ?? Thanks

Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?

Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?
With a brand new Mac Pro and very latest Final Cut Studio complete with updates I'm having a little problem trying to import footage directly from a JVC GY-HD111E (yes I'm in PAL land, UK) via FireWire into FCP.
Footage is 720p/25p and timeline is set up in FCP that way.
I'm doing a 'capture now'. The first clip I'm trying to import is about 45 minutes long with no cuts/breaks whatsoever.
What happens is after about 60 seconds or so, it FCP automatically breaks the clip for no reason and starts a new one, trouble is, when it does this I lose about 4 seconds of footage at that point.
It continues to break clips randomly, sometimes after 40 seconds or so, sometimes after 95 seconds, but usually between 30 seconds and 2 minutes and each time it starts a new clip I lose between 1 and 6 seconds.
As I say, there are zero breaks or cuts in this clip, I have a 45 minute clip that was shot in one take, not even a pause anywhere.
Is this a JVC issue or a Final Cut issue?
It's a pain as it simply means I can't import my 9 hours of footage hence I can't get on with this project.
Any ideas why this phenomenon is happening?
Thanks guys.

I mean I get the same errors.
Let me explain again.
There are NO start/stop/pauses in this clip.
I'm trying to import just ONE clip with no breaks, again, there are NO start/stop/pause, it is one continuous clip of 15 minutes duration.
The JVC creates some sort of errors at the Firewire output stage, it drops frames or other errors, FCP gets confused and creates a new clip, even though it is the same clip, but due to the GoP structure, it looses a few seconds too hence I can't import the footage as I keep loosing bits here and there mid clip. It is randam, every 30 to 100 seconds or so it will do this.

Automatic import

I'm importing DV content from a Canon ZR90 camera (4-5 years old model).
- iMovie does not let me set the import as automatic. It is always on manual. So I assume the automatic mode only works with certain camera model?
- My actual setup is VCR (VHS) -> Canon setup as passthough in DV -> iMovie09
Problem: every couple of minutes, there seems to be break in the video from the VCR. Unfortunately, iMovie then stops recording, and I have to manually restart the import to continue the recording. I would like this to be done automatically. Is this what the automatic import feature is about?

FYI here is the solution: http://www.lifehacker.com/software/itunes/hack-attack-automatically-sync-itunes- to-any-folders-175161.php
After some searching I was able to find this which will automatically import anything you put in the iTunes folder, or additional folders if you wish.
HAHA Guess I answered my own question. Thanks for the help anyway.

Automatic import transport request

Hi Folks,
We are transporting requests from DEV to QA but they are not being imported(changes are not being reflected in QA).What i am doing is manually i am importing to QA.
My query is is there any way by which automatically import is done once we release from DEV environment?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Thanks&Regards,
chandu

Hi Chandu,
As far as I undertsnad your problem is that you want to perform automatically transports in your QA system when it is released from your DEV system.
This is very simple. Log in to your QA system and then go to STMS and then try to import all transport in you queue with Import all requests button. Then a popup will come that shows you different option to Import Tarnsport request.
Select Radio Button <b>At Start Time</b>. Then define Start Time and also Period.
After scheduling the job you can verify it by Select Go to --> Job Monitor. It will show you when next job will run.
As a result the job will run periodically and transport all requests that are in QA system queue.
Thanks
Sunny

Not automatically importing from Mail

Ever since I got on Leopard, my ical has not automatically imported the invites from mail regardless of the setting I have it on. It was "supposed to be fixed in 10.5.1 and then .2, but never happened. Anyone else having this trouble?

I am having this problem too, running 10.5.2. I also have the problem that when I go to download appointments from the Apple Store concierge system, Firefox will not download it as a .ics file, but turns it into some whacked mpeg that is not a movie and cannot be opened.

My favorites have been automatically imported from IE into Firefox, however I am unable to "organize" my favorites in Firefox. What should I do?

My Favorites were automatically imported from Internet Explorer when I started with Firefox, however I am unable to "organize" or otherwise work with or delete any Favorites in Firefox. When I click on "Organize Favorites" only a blank pop-up screen comes up. Please advise as to what I need to do to be able to organize and delete Favorites within Firefox.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

ITunes automatically importing songs once they hit my computer

Wonder if you can help. iTunes is automatically importing any music file that hits my computer into iTunes when i dont want it to.
I try to keep my iTunes collection "clean" with just the things i really want to keep but i have lots of other music files around my computer (demo files i am listening to, mp3's sent by friends). I store them in my Sony/Users/Music directory. my iTunes media folder is set below that at Sony/Users/Music/Itunes/iIunes Music so it should be quite simple to keep them separate.
however, since i downloaded the latest version of iTunes last year, now for some reason it seems to look into the higher level "Music" directory (that includes all my other music files) and anytime anything appears in that directory, it automatically imports it and moves it into the iTunes permanent collection, which is making it a mightmare to try to keep my various files organised.
Has anyone else had this problem and/or can suggest remedies?
Much appreciated
Ian

Could you possibly have installed "itunes folder watch" or a similar program and forgotten about it?
http://download.cnet.com/iTunes-Folder-Watch/3000-2141_4-10524730.html
Because itunes doesn't do that (watch folders), hasn't done it since it was first released, and that's been one of the most asked-for feature over the years.

CS5 Windows import problems (ppj, avi)

I have the CS5 Master Collection installed on a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit laptop. I have some old Premiere 6.5 projects that I wanted to open/import.
When I first tried this, I could open the ppj files and make prproj files from them, either by double-clicking on the ppj file name or by importing the ppj in to a new prproj, but the video files within the ppj didn't import properly. Premiere Pro CS5 said, "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)." These video files are paired avi and wav files captured from mini-DV tape using Premiere 6.5 under Windows XP Pro. A sample check of one of my avi files with GSpot includes these results:
The codec section says (among other stuff)
     codec: dvsd
     Name: DVC/DV Video
     Status: Codec(s) are Installed
The container section says
     File length correct
     DV Type 2 AVI
     OpenDML (AVI v2.0)
     DV Audio/Video: 748 MB (97.63%)
     AVI Overhead: 18.1 MB (2.37%)
When I tried more recently, Premiere CS5 does not include ppj under "All Supported Media" in the import dialogue box. I can open Bridge from Premiere and browse to a ppj file, but when I double-click the file name, I get the error message, "File format not supported." If I try to open the ppj directly rather than import it, instead of trying to run a conversion as it did initially, Premiere CS5 gives me the welcome to Adobe Premiere Pro popup without actually doing anything w/ the ppj. I'm not sure whether a Premiere update ran between the first and more recent attempts to import ppj files, but I now have version 5.0.3.
Does anyone have suggestions for how to make this work?
Thanks.

I had the same problem with an old ppj project.
The option to import was available pbut CS5 would crash when import was invoked.
There was an error message about video filters.
Adobe help line, over the course of an hour, tried to make me believe that this was related to the 64 bit vs 32 bit issues.
Then I pointed out to them that the application was able to read the .avi file and play it if I imported it by itself without trying to import the whole project.
I also mentioned that deleting the previews made no difference.
At the end of the hour, they agreed to look at the project file. This was two weeks ago and this is the last time that I heard from them. When I ftp'ed the file to them they confirmed the following which I also told them; this is a separate problem from the import problem, but it is related to the support of this software. The automatic updates to the program cause Adobe .ppj import options to disappear from the import menu file type list. Again, they confirmed this and I had to unistall the whole package, reinstall Adobe, and not accept any updates.
I have yet to hear from Adobe on this. I suspect this is such a rare need that they feel they don't need to support it, but this being the case I think the doofs ought to take the feature out of the advertising list, or provide a stand alone utility to translate the text .ppj into a .prpj compatible project. It's not very difficult.
The most disturbing thing is that they obviously fail to do a thorough regression test prior to publishing updates. Basic features that are advertised are failing.
THE SOLUTION (for my case)
Of course, the reason I wanted to import the project was because there was aOne of the key reasons to stay with Premiere is that I am used to it and want compatibility, as the others in this post also would like.
Besides Adobe being of no help at all, I have found a workaround. As you all know the ppj file is a text file with headers in [ ] brackets. This file contained some headers which did not appear in .prpj created projects and this was due to some special effects add-ins which were bundled with the video card I installed in the old system.
By removing the special effects using the old version of Premiere installed on a 32 bit system, I was able to import all the clips with the NLE cuts as I intended, and continue from there in CS5.
I hope this is a viable workaround for some.
I do not know if Adobe plans to continue to support the import feature, but they ought to update their docs. It does not work.

4.1 HDR workflow: automatic import to LR?

When using Photoshop HDR Pro with Lightroom, is there any way to have the HDR TIF produced in PS automatically imported into the Lightroom catalog?
Auto-import happens for me in the loop between LR and PS for single-image edits, but isn't happen in the loop between LR and PS for "Merge to HDR Pro."

Your video prompted me to try "Save" instead of "Save As." If I "Save", the results are automatically imported -- but if I "Save As", the results are not. Weird ... but ultimately not an problem, as the default "Save" behavior works just fine for me.
Thanks!

Automatic importing

How can I stop the automatic importing and playing of a music file?
I download legal music from several places besides the Apple music store, and I always have this very annoying problem. As soon as a song finishes downloading to my selected download folder, it is automatically imported to iTunes and it STARTS PLAYING!!! This is really annoying when I am doing something else because iTunes always jumps to the front of whatever application I am working with and forces me to stop my multi-tasking, and push stop on the iTunes player. VERY annoying if I am downloading an entire album because I have to do it for twelves songs in a row.
HOW do I turn this off? I looked in my iTunes preferences but I couldn't find the option.
Thanks
Erich

What software are you using to download music besides iTunes? Aquisition and Xfactor both have settings to songs after they've finished downloading.
Or if you're downloading using your web browser, your browser may have iTunes setup as a "helper application", so that it opens the song file after it's downloaded.
