Camera import -- destination often changes

when I import from my camera - I have it copy into a partitioned drive's folder - but Lr often forgets that and instead copies to my C drive's pictures folder (or whatever the default Windows folder is)
how can I convince Lr that I never want to copy my photos there - but instead into my customised folder?
Thank-you

Ian,
Just a thought: could it be that the users who are having the problems of lack of stickyness (of various sorts) have drives that go to sleep when they haven't been accessed for a while? I've seen several posts about Version 3 randomly taking old defaults, and perhaps this version tries to fail gracefully when it can't find the file it's looking for where it remembers it to be. In that situation, doing anything but notifying the user and requesting directions would have to be considered a bug. (As would not handling the common situation of drives that are able to "sleep".)

    If you don't have a backup then the only possible solution is to go back to the store and see if they can get your old phone and create a backup of that. I know very often that Apple employees will wipe the returned iPhones clean before shipping them back to wherever they ship them.
    When you say your old phone was "broken" does this mean it is dead and won't turn on?
    Do you have a Time Machine backup of your computer, or a clone that might have this info on it?
    Other than that I hate to say you may be out of luck. Time Machine and/or a cloning program performed regularily will inevitably save your a** in situations like this.
    Good luck

  • Import destination greyed out

    I am well up the learning curve on Aperture, but still cannot figure out how to designate import destination. "Destination" in the "Aperture Library" block of "Import Settings" says "New Project" but is greyed out and I cannot type in it to make the change. At the bottom of the Import Settings pane there is a notice that Aperture will import the file(s) into a new project which has the name of an old project I deleted early on. I tried various combinations of settings in "Aperture/Preferences". I have been googling and searching here for several weeks on and off. What am I missing here? Thanks.

    Frank -- thanks. So it is an Apple design feature:
    "http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3380 When Aperture imports from an iPad, it uses Autosplit to maintain the iPad's album structure, rather than splitting images by date. This is usually only an issue if you use a camera connection kit to capture images from a camera to various albums on iPad. If you do not use a camera connection kit, you will likely only see images in the iPad's Saved Photos album. In this case, Aperture creates a single project named for the date of the oldest image in the Saved Photos album. Note: Aperture does not import photos you have already synced to iPad via iTunes; those photos will not be visible in Aperture's import window."
    But I still wish I could control the destination folder for iPad imports. I don't use it much as a computer, but I often save photos to the iPad's camera folder from emails sent by family and friends. My kludgy workaround is to let Aperture import the iPad's selected photos to that destination project (named by Aperture for the oldest photo's date in the photos selected for import) and then drag them from that project to where I want them to be, then delete the project. Lot of extra steps.
    Because I am a low volume photographer, I prefer to import my photos from cameras and the iPad to a fixed project I call "A Imported Photos for Sorting" and deal with them there. I use the "A" to keep this project at the top of the list for easy finding.

  • My internal "A" drive is not listed as an import destination

    I have 7 internal drives/partitions labledl a, c, f, i,k,, L and n
    In LR 2 I had no issues importing directly to the A drive. For some reason, LR 3 does not list my "A" drive is as an import destination. It allows me to hit the + sign and
    "add" a new folder. But I am actually just clicking through the folders until I get to the folder on the A drive that I need.  After import that destination is still not reflected in the choices.
    I can change the drive letter but before I go through that effort (it affects other programs too) I wanted to see if anyone had a work around.
    I am guessing this is a bug. LR may not look for drive starting with a or b since they precede the typical system drive letter of C. Not sure why but I am just guessing here.
    Anyone?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Camera import

    Camera import real-time preview is not working--first frame still image remains in the window, although the video import works fine, that is clips/events are in the Event Library, as expected.
    This problem appeared after installing recent update packages, specifically iDVD 7.1.2, iWeb Update, iPhoto 9.1.5, GarageBand Update (6.0.4) and iMovie 9.0.4. System is up-to-date, 10.6.8. No other new software installed. Camera is a Canon HV20, connected via Firewire.
    Interestingly, real-time preview during import in iMovie works perfectly fine!
    TIA for suggestions and insights.

    Hi Tom,
    I've talked to you before about my DMG import issue and I am still having Trouble. The person I have recieved the files from showed me how it worked on his computer with the "camera import" feature. In the port window the DMGs are greyed out and I can not import them.
    And if I try to import the DMG I opened, this shows up.

  • Camera Import Plugin XDCAM - not working for me!

    I recently discovered Sony's "Camera Import Plug-In for Apple Final Cut Pro X (FCPX)."
    Sounds really useful, so I went for it.
    Downloaded it in seconds, installed it (and got the "Installation Successful" confirmation).
    Launched FCP X - nothing!
    Using Spotlight and Finder,I can't find where it installed, I can't find any instructions - what's going on?
    Can someone please tell me how to get it to work?

  • Our picture transfer from iphone, ipads and or Sony DSC-W150 camera ended when we changed int providers from xfinity to frontier. All attempts to troubleshoot have not corrected problem, HELP!!

    Our picture transfer from iphone, ipads and or Sony DSC-W150 camera ended when we changed int providers from xfinity to frontier. All attempts to troubleshoot have not corrected problem. The only changes to the system that was functioning properly are Fios int service and router. All apple components are using the fios router. Can anyone Help get us up and running again? Thanks

    How have you been making the physical connection from:
    iPhone
    iPads
    Sony DSC-W150 camera
    ...to your Mac?
    If WiFi, have you changed the WiFi encryption method or WiFi password? If so, each device need the new information netered into it manually to get onto your "new" WiFi Network.

  • Camera Raw update has changed things....

    I have Canon 40D and I have the DNG converter 4.2, which is recommended for this camera. I also have the Camera Raw plugin version 3.7, which is recommended for CS2. When I would convert an image from to DNG and open it in CS2 as a Camera Raw image, the window would come up and each line under the 'Adjust' tab (starting with exposure) had an individual auto setting that the image was adjusted to. I found this to be very useful because I could just uncheck the bos to see where the original setting was and make much faster adjustments.
    Then, a few days ago I get a message that there is an update available and so I run the update and now the settings are different. There is now just the default or auto and when you select auto it changes everything, it is no longer line by line.
    Additionally, this update to the Camera Raw is now changed the color of all my photos. When I open the photos in my Canon software they are full of color, but once I convert them to DNG and open them as Camera Raw in CS2 they lose a lot of color. This was not happening prior to this update.
    Is this an issue with the DNG converter or an issue with CS2? I have everything Adobe recommends so I don't know why the color would be desaturated so much. The photos look like crap now. This was not an issue before.
    I'm wondering if I can go back and take the Camera Raw file I downloaded and replace the updated one. Does anyone recommend this approach? If so, how would I go about this to do it correctly?
    Thanks!
    Tyler

    Actually, I do understand about the DNG converter now. It's an evolving program, I get that.
    As for the update, I don't know either. I thought it was weird because I know anything after 3.7 is not for CS2. I had a window pop up and tell me there were updates from adobe and it was all legit. It was connected to Adobe. I had run a 'repair' of CS2 and so maybe that replaced some current files with the ones in the original software, but I don't know. When I go into my Adobe folders the camera raw file is the one it should be.
    I have downloaded the 5.3 and I will convert some RAW images and compare them to see if that corrected the issue. For me, I shoot Real Estate photography so correct color is a big deal to these people. The most noticable place I see color loss is in wood, wood cabinets in a kitchen for example. In stead of rich dark wood it lacks color. This doesn't do well when you are tying to capture a $80k kitchen full of custom wood cabinets. I have also taken the exact same shot in jpeg and it comes out perfectly. So, I know it's somewhere between the DNG converter and opening the image in Camera Raw that the color get's lost. I realize that most of the people on here have forgotten more than I know about how this software works. I try to get the shot I want on site and therefore I have not relied on software much over the years. But, I'm trying to learn how to use this stuff and I appreciate your help while I learn it.
    Thanks again!

    I really appreciate your responses!

  • Bridge option not showing in camera import options

    Hi,
    I was previously using bridge cs4 (via photoshop cs4), then installed illustrator cs5 which updated bridge as well. All was going fine for importing photos etc but when I upgraded photoshop to cs5 last week bridge dissappeared from the options for my cameras import. The install of photoshop cs5 went fine and bridge still works properly etc. I uninstalled photoshop cs4 after installing cs5. I am running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit btw.
    Here is the list I currently have which used to have bridge as an option:
    I also looked in bridges preferences after googling for an answer and people mentioning that there is an option in there too, but it is missing in mine:

    You will have to get into this a little deeper on the web so you can add options.  
    You may want to click the restore defaults button first.
    Here is one link.  http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2 F%2Fanswers.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Fwindows%2Fforum%2Fwindows_7-desktop%2Fhow-can-i-add-th e-name-of-a-program-on-the%2Fab501a90-b8fd-49b1-8101-1dd0400edbe7&ei=D0TUTtKHDOTi2AWL_Y1e& usg=AFQjCNEZFVl7ITXK-fWkBfEraEzLIlxokA

    App purchases are permanently tied to the ID with which they were purchased. They cannot be transferred to a new ID.
    You will have to enter the password for that ID or delete the apps and re-purchase them with the new one.

  • No sound in camera import dialog?

    Using a Canon HV20 in iMovie 09. I can play the video in the camera import dialog but there is no sound. Is it how it's supposed to work? If I import actual footage, the sound plays fine in iMovie, just not in the camera import dialog.
    Idea? Thought?

    Yes, this is how it works. You will only notice it on DV, because other formats are imported faster or slower than real time.

  • Destination Bin change in Pick Module Replenishment scenario

    Dear Experts,
    We have a requirement to perform destination bin change during TO confirmation into the pick module for replenishment scenario. The requirements is as below:
    System set up:
    We have a storage type 001 (Replen Storage type) that has been configured with putaway strategy as 'F'. It is basically a pick module wherein we have defined one fixed bin for every SKU or Material in WM2 view and we have defined the minimum, maximum, control quantity & replenishment quantity.
    Our requirement is to perform a two step confirmation for the stocks going into this pick module meaning although the fixed bin in determined during TO creation user needs flexibility to change the destination bin to a new interim bin during confirmation and then they will intern perform a bin to bin transfer from interim bin into the actual fixed bin location.
    We do not want to activate standard 2 step procedure as it will impact other kind of picking process. Hence need a solution to perform destination bin change as below.
    1. For Material A and Fixed Bin 001 in storage type 001, the stock level has gone below minimum quantity.
    2. A transfer order is created automatically to replenish this bin from another storage type(This is standard SAP replen process).
    3. The user will pick stock from the source storage type and deposit the stock into an replenishment interim bin which is also a part of the same pick module.
    4. The user wants to confirm stock in interim by changing destination bin to say bin 002 in storage type 001. Although we have activated destination bin change for this storage type it is not allowing us to change bin during confirmation.
    We are looking for help from experts to provide a solution for this scenario. Is activating destination bin change for fixed allowed by standard SAP? If not what are the other alternatives to achieve this functionality. Please refer the attached document for details.
    Best Regards,
    Harish

    Hi Harish
    How is the replenishment triggered..are you using LP21,LP22 or LP24...IF YOU use any of these standard SAP TCode, first the system creates TR and the bin gets fixed in the TR itself. Even by having destination bin changeable at the time of confirmation will have no effect and will continue to remain grey.
    I had a similar requirement in one of the projects.Placement strategy was next empty bin and since fixed bin was maintained in material master , system was always defaulting fixed bin in TR. When TR was converted to TO, the same bin got carried over
    to avoid this we used user exit EXIT_RLLNACH4_004 to prevent defaulting of bin in TR. TR was created without destination bin. When TR is converted to TO, system can find the bin based on the strategy maintained. This works very well and we have used it successfully

  • FireFox's buttons on the taskbar often change position

    Firefox's buttons on the taskbar often change position. If I click on a button frequently (in order to bring the window forward), the button for that window will start to jump to the end of the other buttons. Since the buttons are no longer in the same order, I end up having to search for the right button constantly. This is a huge annoyance.

    I am guessing that there is an auto hide feature turned on for your taskbar:
    Try this: "Reset taskbar to normal, open FF maximised then set auto hide."
