Can't import from internal SD or external SD to Mac Photos app

I have been using Photos since it was released without any issues except that I can't seem to import from SD cards. Trying to import from either the internal SD slot on my Mac Mini or externally connected card readers fails.
When I choose file, import within Photos and navigate to the SD card source, the "review for import" dialog is grayed out, as are the folders themselves. If I manually navigate to the SD card outside of Photos, I can select the files and choose open with Photos and import like that without issues. My library is on an external drive, if that matters. Any ideas how I can fix this or why its happening?
thanks!

If there is no other way, drag the images to a folder on your desktop and import them from there.
Keep it simple

Can't import from LR 3 to PSE 10

Installed Photoshop Elements 10 and can't import from LR 3 for external editing. Any suggestions? I've already tried deleting the LR and PSE .plist files.

So basically I uninstalled Photoshop Elements 10 trial version. I uninstalled LR4 upgrade version. After reading about all the on line grief that people have been having with LR4, why go there? Sounds like more hype with a wopping side order of hooey. Did the online text conversation with Adobe support person prior to logging on to this forum and his only suggestion was call tech support Monday. Uninstalled and reinstalled LR 3.6. Uninstalled and reinstalled PS CS3. Everything works perfectly like it did before. Why or why did I waste all my time with supposedly compatible upgrades? First time I've really been disappointed with Adobe. Hope it's the last.

HELP! How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers?

How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers? I'm trying to watch something on my TV through an HDMi cable (& apple adapter) and when I go to switch the sound control in preferences from internal speakers to SONY TV, the annoying "popping" noise occurs on my TV's speakers.

Go to Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings and check the box for error correction, and then try one of the problem CDs again.

Import from internal table

Dear Experts,
I need a solution for importing from an internal table.
Two variables I_EXP01 and I_EXP02 containing an xml stream have been exported to the database using the following syntax
and depending on the size of I_EXP01 and I_EXP02 two or more entries are created in table LTEX.
EXPORT
         L_SAPRL
         I_EXP01
         I_EXP02
TO    DATABASE LTEX(LT)
                       ID LS_LTEXKEY.
But now i have a few entries of table LTEX in an internal table and they need to be imported from the internal table.
What would be the syntax to import from internal table so that after importing I can de-serialise the data from XML to ABAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashwini

Try this and let me know if it works:
IMPORT
L_SAPRL
I_EXP01
I_EXP02
To
L_SAPRL1 (same type as above)
I_EXP011 (same type as above)
I_EXP021 (same type as above)
FROM DATABASE LTEX(LT)
ID LS_LTEXKEY.
if it is not working. try using seperate statements for each internal table and see.
Thanks,
Venkatesh.

Can't import from Cannon HV20.

I can't import from my Cannon HV20. The camera does not show up as an external camera. I just get the message "to import video, please connect a camera". I get the same message when connecting to my laptop and I have tried two different firewire cables. I have gone through the settings on the camera and I don't see anything that would prevent it. I have the camera in play mode and powered on. I have successfully imported from this camera many times. This started yesterday when I plugged the camera in while using ichat and ichat crashed. I suspect the firewire connection on the camera is damaged.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem with a different camera.
I have used my Sony TRV27 Handycam in making movies primarily with iMovie 6.0.3 on my former G5. It did record from the camera to iMovie 7.1.4 on my Intel core 2 but now can't get in to import to either program 6.0.3 or 7.1.4. It will not recognize that the camera is attached or switch the camera icon to camera mode. If it does it only shows Built in iSight or Time Lapses.
I prefer to use the older iMovie camera because of the options and familiarity of it. I do not care for the newer iMovie program format.
I went to the system profiler as suggested and found firewire but have no idea what the Firewire Device Tree looks like nor did I see anything on the right except Firewire Bus speed.
I have been using the cord from Sony in the past to import movies. My computer does not show the camera even though in Finder/Preferences connected services are checked to show up on the desk top.
I phoned Apple Care today and got virtually no help. The gentleman kept saying it was the camera that was at fault. Or it was the ? slot in the computer that wasn't working. They both work. I checked. I see by posts a lot of other camera owners are having similar problems.

Can't import from Sony XDCAM memory card to FCP 6

I can't import from Sony XDCAM memory card to FCP 6.01 HD. Am using Macbook Pro, 2 gig of RAM. This is my first time NOT using tape. I can copy the files off the memory card onto an external drive (to free up the card for pro crew's next day's shoot), but can't import either to FCP. Do I need to convert the files in some way before FCP can read them? Need to fix this problem fast as the crew are off to Nepal for 2 week shoot.

Laura,
First, I'm assuming that you're referring to the XDCAM EX. You'll need to install the FCP 6.0.2 upgrade, which contains the XDCAM EX codecs.
Second, You'll need to install the PDZK-P1 Transfer Application, and use that to import your EX clips into FCP. I just noticed that there is a new version available, 2.5.1 which is labeled specifically for Tiger/Leopard. I haven't tested this version yet, and will report back on any stability issues. We're currently running version 2.1.1, without many issues.

I have bought a Sandisk 8gb memory stick but can't import from iphoto onto it...help???

No I haven't formatted it, but don't really know how to either? I am a bit of a newbie at this and thought i just had to buy any memory stick and it would work. can you suggest how to format it for FAT32 ( I don't know what this is either ) as I will be using the memory stick for windows also at a later date.
Thanks for your reply

Running LR 5.6 on OSX 10.9.4. Can't import from Canon 7D. Any ideas?

Running LR 5.6 on OSX 10.9.4. Can't import from Canon 7D. Any ideas?

For future reference, if there is an error message, you should probably quote it in your original message on the subject.
"Could not be read" indicates that you do not have WRITE permission to the destination directory when you try to import, so change your permissions.
"not recognized" might indicate the camera card itself is corrupted or the card reader is failing ... or the problem might go away if you change your permissions.

How can I boot from USB 3.0 disc on a Mac Pro 2013

I am just setting up a 2013 Mac Pro with a 4TB USB 3.0 external drive. I have cloned my boot disc over to it but have problems being able to boot from the USB drive.
It shows up in the startup disc in system preferences, but when selected as the boot disc and restarted it just boots from the internal SSD. Also have checked booting and holding the ALT key to see what happens but I am just shown the SSD and Recovery disc as options to boot from.
So it appears I can not boot from a USB disc on my new Mac Pro, is there a solution to this problem?

Can't import contact list to addresss book on new Mac.

can't import contact list to addresss book on new Mac.

We received our Mac the first of the year. We previously had iPhone's and had all our contact on them. When it can time to set everything up we thought, ok, plug it in and it will work find, everything will import and sync and the world will be a great place. Wrong. My wife did the set up with the itunes account, that went smooth but the contact list is the problem. It up loaded once and then I decided to do something with it and it was erased. My fault I know. I tried to just upload the contact again from the iPhone but they were erased from my wife iPhone. The setting were check "Sync add book, all" I've changed the setting in itunes so they don't sync so i don't lose them. Any thought would be helpful.
Thank you
Zach

I have an iphone 4s. I have a mac computer and a pc. Most of my itunes library is on my pc, but when I try to add music to my phone from my library on the pc, it won't let me do it. I CAN add music from my library that is on my mac, same account.

I CAN add music from my library that is on my mac, same account. My husband has the same problem with his iphone 4, but only uses pc.

My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine. We always manually manage our music (no auto sync). iTunes is up to date on the PCs. My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines. He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4. I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s. How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
Thanks

How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

I never did it from Windows to Mac.
I assume you need to move everything to Mac PSE12 (or PSE 13) by downloading the 30 day free trial of PSE 12 or 13, and then once everything is working, use File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog in Lightroom. Your tags and albums will remain intact. I believe the face recognition transfers as well to keywords, but the location in the photo of the face will be gone as Lightroom has no such feature.

Suppose you create an album of photos imported from your iPhone with roll, then delete those photos on the roll ... because they were also deleted on the album?

suppose you create an album of photos imported from your iPhone with roll, then delete those photos on the roll ... because they were also deleted on the album?

If you create an album directly on the phone, then if you delete the photo from its original album then it will also be deleted from all albums that you've copied it into; if you just remove it from the newly created album then it will just be deleted from that album, it will still be in its original album and any other albums that you've copied it into.

Can't Import From External USB Optical Drive

I have an External USB cdrom drive that I want to use to rip my music collection to my iTunes library. When I put in a CD, iTunes looks up the information and offers to import it to the library. I click okay and it goes ahead. It takes a whooping 5 seconds to rip the whole cd . The files are only 51Kb or 80kb in size and are unplayable. The built in DVD Burner in my laptop works fine for ripping cds but I don't want to put the un-needed wear on it because portable drives don't last long. The drive inside the enclosure is brand new and has previously worked fine at everything else. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any solutions?

hmmmm. do you have "Error correction" switched on in your Importing preferences? if so, does switching that off help with the importing issues?
if no joy there, perhaps some of the other usual suspects from the following document are worth checking on:
You can't import or play music from an audio CD in iTunes for Windows
... and these resources might be helpful with that:

I can access exchange from internal ip address address but not external

Hi there, been trying to set up my iphone to collect my email from my exchange server 2003 sp 2 and have been having huge problems.
My IT guys we use have done everything they can so far and we tried setting up the email by connecting through my wireless network and on my intenal ip address to by pass my westell router and it works.
Now as soon as we try this outside and turn off the wi-fi and change ip adress to external, basically my OWA web address the verification fails.
We use an actual number like 000.00.00.000 rather than this webmail.mycompany.com etc I have read about. Sorry not very good at this sort of thing so sorry if I sound like a novice.
Any help appreciated.

In order to connect to an Exchange server from internal and external, you must connect via a URL and not a specific IP address.
The reason for this is that internal IP addresses (10.10.x.x, 192.168.x.x) are different than external IP addresses, therefore you will not be able to connect externally as you reported.
If you connect to Exchange using a URL (example: http://mail.domain.com, the URL is mapped to both the internal IP and external IP - and thus the iPhone will work everywhere. Internal mapping is done in the server's DNS records. External mapping is done by contacting your internet provider and adding an A record. (You will also need a firewall mapping from external to internal with port 80 open for incoming traffic.)
When you set it up as above, it works like a champ on Edge/3G and WiFi whether your in the office or outside.
