Cannot import anything

Like the subject says...
I cannot import photos via drag-n-drop either from the finder or from iPhoto in the media library.
Similarly, I cannot drag and drop any movies (which open fine in Quicktime)
Did a search here but couldn't really find an answer.
Any help greatly appreciated!
thanks,
Andrew

Anyone?
I literally cannot import anything new. Only some existing content from the previous version can be seen, but I also can't seem to edit or work with that.

Aperture cannot import anything from iPhoto and other bugs!!

Aperture is buggy. Recently, I just updated Mac OS X to 10.4.5 and also updated iLife 06. Now I cannot import anything from iPhoto. I tried import images from iphoto or import iphoto library, both not working. I can import images from other directories but jut could not see anything display under iphoto library directory. Trying to use import iphoto library, click choose and then nothing happens.
If you create a smart web gallery, all photos will be automatically duplicated.

I used Pacifist.app to find iPhoto in the iLife '06 install package and then installed the app in the default location replacing the bundle that was there.
the normal method gave me an install error.
Thank you to the person who discovered this.
I was going nuts trying. I have 6 iphoto libraries with 30,000 photos in total and some would import fine and others would not. couldn't tell the difference between them and had forgotten the update. just got a new iMac intel and wasn't paying attention. Causality

Import problem II (cannot import anything)

HI,
Since upgrade FCPX 10.2 yesterday, I cannot import anything from my Camera or from my SD Card. The media import window seem to work but when I hit the «Import» button, nothing happen.
I can see and play my clip in the Import windows.
I can drag and drop thing from the finder but my movie from my Sony NXCAM AVCHD cannot be drag and drop.
I'll try to import my media from Sony «software tools»... but i prefer work with FCP.
I tried in a new project, in new event and in a new library but nothing work.
Thanks for your help !

MacPro 2x2.8, 32GB,
OS 10.10.3,
FCPX 10.2

Yes, my window is active. I can browse in it, play the clip and change settings . My 1st screen shot is odd because I used «Grab» to capture the window. My active application was Grab instead FCPX... There is the good one.
I did trash prefs and repair permissions.
Thanks

Cannot import anything to iPhoto

Hi,
I've seen this problem in various guises but not an exact match for my problem.
iPhoto will not import any images at all. Anything I try - from my camera, iphone, off the web etc. gives the same message:
'The following file could not be imported. (the import failed)'
I have tried using time machine to restore the application from the point where I successfully loaded a photo - no joy.
Hope someone can help.
Mat

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Where is your Library?
As a test:
Create a new Library: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' and see if you can import to that one.

Lightroom CC Import sees CF Card in reader but does not see any images, cannot import anything

I have installed Lightroom CC. It seems to work but if I connect a card reader with a CF card, while Lightroom sees the card, it sees no images. I have to copy the files to a hard disk and import from there. How do I fix this annoying problem?

Hi drchevalier,
You mean, you are able to import those files, if moved to hard drive but not able to view them when importing directly from the CF Card? Please attach a screenshot.
If so, might be an issue with the card. Did you try reformatting the card in the camera itself and check? If not, might want to try that.
Also, make sure your camera is in the Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras list. Else, you might not see it in Lr.

Cannot import FXG and Photoshop into Catalyst - error parsing fxg

Update: Fireworks and Photoshop both don't work.
I cannot import anything from a Fireworks FXG file to Catalyst. It errors every time. I even tried creating a couple of simple new files, one was just a box, and it still would not import. I originally thought my fireworks file was too complex, but it is doing the same thing regardless of simple vs. complex files. Please help. I am totally stuck. All my files are in Fireworks.
I am also having an error when I try to import PSD files. I was able to successfully import an AI file.
Error parsing FXG is the error I get from my fireworks files. The weird thing is I have some stuff that worked a couple of weeks ago, it's like it just stopped working.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I guess I should also ask, is this forum an Adobe supported forum, or just a user forum? I guess I should try to contact Adobe directly on this issue.

I am getting the exact same error using Catalyst CS5.5
No matter what file I try it gives the same error even with just a simple box on the page. I've rebooted my computer and that does not solve the problem.

Iphoto 4 -: cannot import photos from xternal hard drive

i wanted to decrease the memory of the hard drive and thus dragged and moved the entire iphoto file icon on my finder home box to the external hard drive. this was 4 years of photos. i did not use the backup progam- i just dragged the file into the hard drive. I now have the file on my hard drive and wanted to import some albums but it is not letting me import.
each album has an associated data file with it and some how i cannot import anything.
i read the support info on the apple website but still unsuccessful
the windows was much easier-- why does apple make simple things so hard!!
thanks
ss

The question is, why are you making things so hard? You can't import into iPhoto any photos that are already in an iPhoto Library folder. If you've copied the iPhoto Library folder to your external drive, it's all there -- there is nothing that needs to be imported; it's a complete iPhoto Library folder. To make it the "current" library, follow the instructions in the iPhoto Help topic, "Switching between photo libraries".

Lost all photos on my iPhoto and get the ERROR WRITING TO DISK when trying to reload from Time Machine. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPHOTO LIBRARY . Looking for solution.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

I am trying to upload my photos to iphoto. I keep receiving a error message that say "Iphoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image" What do i Do?!

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Cannot import certificate

Hey,
I've purchased a domain and a SSL certificate from Comodo but I cannot import it via the server app. The certificate consist of 5 files but the window where i'm supose to drag files doesn't seem to do anything - the import button is still grayed out after dragging the files in. I guess that it needs some .key file which i do not have. I'm new to this so i'm not sure what am I suppose to do.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. And how can I delete the "self signed" from the server and start everything from clean so to speak?

Upgraded to Lightroom 3.6, cannot import NEF files from D700

Hi!
I just upgraded my Lightroom to 3.6 on my MacBook pro running Lion. Since then, I cannot import my pictures anymore, either from the camera directly, through a compact flash reader (SanDisk) or by adding the picture directly from my hard-drive. The standard Mac utility to download images work fine.
Lightroom tells me that it cannot read the files, with Lithgtroom 3.5 it worked (nothing changed in the meantime Camera profiles, OS X, etc.).
You can find one NEF file I cannot import here (dropbox link) : http://db.tt/6zSiNzYK
Any idea?

Thank you Sean,
I'll try that once I'll have managed to get the import working. I created another catalog since last time I thought the import worked but again I got stuck.
Do you know anything else I could try? Ideally, do you know how I could get a better diagnosis? By the way, I already got in touch with the CS but all I got was a lousy answer (update my ACR... for Lightroom -_- )
I'm using Lightroom since the first version and I start to really be discouraged.
Thanks for your help,

IPhoto cannot import RAW files

I am using the latest version of iPhoto (9.1.5), and have installed all RAW updates. I shoot a Nikon D300s and Panasonic Lumix LX-3. RAW images from both are supposedly supported by iPhoto, but neither will import. I have looked in iPhoto's Preferences, but cannot find anything. I assumed import and recognition would be automatic.
Any ideas?

Can you open them in Preview?

Cannot import Crystal report to a CA DB

Dear All,
Our client has a Crystal report. When we import it to CA DB, we got an error: SAP B1 was not able to import the following report / layout.
When we run the report from Crystal report >> add-ins >> SAP b1 >> preview in SAP B1, we can preview it no problem.
We import the report to their US DB, it works fine.
We import the report to a test CA DB we created long time ago, it works fine. This means, it is not a localization issue.
I have another Crystal report, I cannot import to the CA live DB too.
Since I am using manager user (super user and have pro license), it will not be a user authorization or license issue.
Is there anything wrong with their DB? Should I log a support message to SAP? I am not too sure if this is a support issue. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Yuka

Please re-post if this is still an issue but first update to CR4E 2 and retest

Error 26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683 Cannot Access Anything At All

Hello all,
I have seen some similar topics matching my issue so I decided to post my case also on your forum. Would appreciate a lot if anyone could please help. Recently I bought new computer with Windows 8 (Lenovo PC). When I try to access Control Panel I get windows
error message with red circle icon and ''X'' inside. The content of error message is ''26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683'' and under this id is the sentence in our ''nonenglish'' language so I will try my best to translate as good as possible, it is: ''Assignment
of User Accounts Names and security IDs weren't done''.
Please note, EXTREMLY IMPORTANT: I am 100% sure when this problem occurred and I am at least 95% sure what caused the problem. I decided to set up the windows 8 logon password - the password
which is asked right before windows 8's start screen occurs and right before windows desktop with icons and taskbar occurs. I wanted to have one so I didn't have much troubles setting it up but later I didn't like it due to reasons that are offtopic to this
question. So I decided to delete it but I didn't know how to do that - researched a lot of instructions and nothing helped. So it seems like I completely damaged my own top priority (admin) user account with something I shouldn't have done.
Also please note: I have already said this problem is in my case surely linked to corrupted user account ID. I think (however here I am
not that sure anymore as I was what I was typing in previous paragraph) I even know which exact step of procedure of my work (trying to figure out how to delete logon password so it would go right
to the start menu page and then to desktop with icons). I clicked on win keyboard key + r to come into ''Run'' and typed there ''netplwiz'' because according to some instructions I found I thought I would be able to delete password logon request there.
In this window I am referring to, I then deleted the only and only entry in the tab Users under ''Users Of This Computer''. Shouldn't have done that. Button ''add'' is still there and ISN'T even grayed out but doesn't respond when i click it (see latest
consequence in ''Consequences'' part of my message below). I then saw that my user account id is somewhere and somehow (not sure where exactly I was) recognized which means it still exist but it is completely corrupted. I then found information online I could
make new user account name and copy data there but I am searching for DIFFERENT solution that would fix the problem.
Here are few consequences of this problem (same problem in safemode):
- I cannot access Control Panel via right hand taskbar menu because it is showing the error message (see second paragraph of this message after the first one ''hello all'')
- via same right hand taskbar via Search, I can access Control Panel BUT I cannot click ANYTHING there
- 90% of programs don't even run including ALL (EXCEPT ccleaner) tools that are anyhow related to ''nasty'' files cleaning, such as pc health advisor, malwarebytes,...
- Norton isn't responding. Doesn't report any windows when i download something with answer whether or not file is safe.
- at least half of programs, when i try to run them, aren't responding (freezes)
- cannot do ''sfc /scannow'' in cmd because it says im not administrator but i am
- many buttons, when trying to click them, don't even ''respond'' and many more consequences.
I am VERY new with Windows 8, very very new. And even further - my windows 8 isn't in english so I would appreciate if you could provide very detailed steps how to obtain something in order to click/type it.
Please if someone could help, do so. KINDLY REMEMBER:
I will do my best that I reply very quickly so if you decide to reply and I would like to ask you to please do so, then keep an eye on that topic. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
According to your description, it seems the user account is fully corrupted, I would suggest you fix the corrupted user profile, please refer to the detailed instructions in the link below:
Fix a corrupted user profile

(The instruction for Windows 8 is similiar to Windows 7 )
