Cannot Import Graphics Into Project

I am experiencing some very odd behavior in RoboHelp 9 project. When I attempt to import/insert a graphic into a topic, I receive the message:
Unable to rename file, "image.gif".
The file contains illegal characters.
First of all, I am NOT trying to rename the graphic. Secondly, the file name image.gif does not contain illegal characters. This happens for any graphic I attempt to import/insert into the project. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi there
If you click File > Rename Project (don't worry, we aren't really going to rename the project) what do you see at the bottom of the dialog where it shows the path?
Just click Cancel to dismiss the dialog.
Cheers... Rick

  • Cannot import CDs into iTunes, disc is corrupted and unreadable error.

    Cannot import CDs into iTunes, keep getting disc is corrupted and unreadable error. Advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the reply!
    I downloaded the program and ran it, got to the point where it says I have errors that need to be fixed... but it appears I have to pay for the rest of the program to actually repair these errors. Is this incorrect?
    If I do have to pay, then I'd like to look for an alternative... the program is $40; of course, that's cheaper than buying a new iPod, but I want to avoid that too.

  • Cannot import clips into iMovie 08

    I have a few clips that were spliced together with QTPro and now I cannot import them into iMovie08. I have checked the movies themselves and I do not see any specific info that would cause a problem.
    I cannot drag and drop the clips into iMovie nor can I use the import function, as the .mov files are greyed out.
    This didn't happen before I upgraded to QT Pro.

    AAC, MPEG-4
    For the moment will assume you mean QT MPEG-4 here and not something like Microsoft's non-standard variation. (If not QT then please advise.) In the case that it is QT MPEG-4, did any of the source files contain extraneous tracks like an iPhoto slideshow with its "Tween" track. Such extraneous tracks are not understood by iMovie '08 and it will reject their import. If so, then use QT Pro to delete the extraneous track(s)

  • I have upgraded to Mavericks and I now cannot import DV into FCP through the capture presets.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, I cannot import DV vision through my Sony FX-1E. I have tried various connections - DV to Firewire 400 + 800 with no success. I now have to get the vision ingested at another facility and exported to a hard drive in order to edit.
    Is there a way I can get vision into FCP?

    FCP (not FCPX) is legacy software, now EOL and not designed or guaranteed to work with Mavericks, some people report no problems others do, it depends on your setup. I'd suggest using iMovie to capture your footage then transfer to FCP to save using (or paying) another facility. An alternative (and my own solution) is a second boot drive with 10.8.5 and FCP 7 which still works OK.  

  • Premeire Elements 13 - can't import files into Project Assets, Expert Mode.  Win8.1

    Hello there - I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling.  Can't seem to figure this out.  In other computers, I have imported files into the Project Assets area to "pre-edit" before adding to timeline.  I can add media directly to timeline in Quick Mode, but it's too cumbersome.  Really need ability to select segments of media in the Project Assets list.
    Any help greatly appreciated as I spent a ton of $$ on a new computer and program!!
    Thanks folks!

    Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit).
    What is the typical outcome...
    a. Expert workspace open....Add Media/Files and Folders/and no import into Expert workspace Project Assets, but you do find the import switching to Quick workspace Filmstrip?
    b. Quick workspace open....Add Media/Files and Folders and media goes directly to Filmstrip. And, if you switch to Expert workspace, you find copy of import in Project Assets?

    and in the 13.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 13.0 Folder in which the
    Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exist. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that you can see

    If that does not work, then do the uninstall, free ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts), and reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Download and install the 13.1 Update using an opened project's Help Menu/Updates.

  • Import folders into project

    I had photos from a two-week period that I wanted to import by day with the project having 14 daily folders. I used this import option and it created a new masters folder with the appropriately named (yyyymmdd) subfolders (referenced images). That worked fine. However, the resulting project was a flat one without any folder structure. I overcame this by saving the new masters folder and deleting the project. I then re-imported the structured folder and the resulting project had the desired folder structure.
    I am just wondering what I did wrong, as the documentation led me to believe I could accomplish this in one step. No big deal now that it is done, but it took some experimentation,

    Hm, I've been struggling with this myself for days now. I have images from several days of shooting on my camera card, and I'd like to import them into different folders, so I don't have 500+ images in one hard to use folder.
    Importing them does separate the actual files out into separate subdirectories, in the /year/month/day/ format with one folder for each day. That's great, but the project still has all 500 plus images lumped in one unusable directory. I also found that the only way around it was to delete the automatic project, but leave the files, and then re-import the files from the hard disk. Then they show up separated into folders.
    This is ironic, as the whole reason I bought Aperture was because I thought it was going to simplify my workflow. So far it's not working out.
    I also submitted some feedback; as I tend to use a big camera card and I don't always get around to editing the cards the same day as the shoot.

  • Importing graphic into hybrid page

    I've never used Blank Pages before, but I opened
    Dreamweaver's "2 column hybrid, left sidebar, header and footer"
    blank page. How do I correctly import a header graphic into the
    header area so that it adjusts to different display
    settings?

    This is not a resolution issue. It's a browser width issue.
    Your only way
    out is to prevent the container from flexing as the browser
    width decreases.
    In other words you should have chosen a fixed width page
    rather than a fluid
    one.
    You can probably just change this -
    .twoColHybLtHdr #container {
    width: 80%; /* this will create a container 80% of the
    browser width */
    background: #FFFFFF;
    margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a
    width) center
    the page */
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center
    on the body
    element. */
    to this -
    .twoColHybLtHdr #container {
    width: 830px; /* this will create a container 830px wide */
    background: #FFFFFF;
    margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a
    width) center
    the page */
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center
    on the body
    element. */
    And get something acceptable.

  • Cannot import files into iPhoto

    I have home movie files on an external hard drive that were downloaded there from my old Windows XP computer.  They are ".mov", ".mpg", and ".avi" file extensions.  When I try to import them into iPhotos on my iMac, running OS X Mavericks, I get a dialog box stating that they cannot be imported.  How do I get these movies onto my iMac.  Thank you for your help!

    There must be compatible with Quicktime formats:
    Media formats supported by QuickTime Player
    If you can open the movies with Quicktime, save or export within the app to a compatible format. Otherwise you'll have to use another 3r party software to convert those movies, or use another player to view the movies without converting them, but does will not fix your issue with iPhoto.

  • Importing images into projects

    can any1 please tell me how to import images into my netbeans IDE projects?this should be such that the jar file that is created displays them correctly- i am having this said problem with .jar files.
    plz help!!

    i use a function createImageIcon(ImageIcon icon) wfor which i provide a definition.
    the definition is as given in the java tutorial as follows
    protected static ImageIcon createImageIcon(String path)
    java.net.URL imgURL = LabelDemo.class.getResource(path);
    if (imgURL != null) {
    return new ImageIcon(imgURL, description);
    } else {
    System.err.println("Couldn't find file: " + path);
    return null;
    the program executes perfectly from the IDE when i use the run finction of F6 key. I use netbeans IDE. the images are kept in a folder named images in the 'src' folder of the project. this folder is used to store source files by the IDE. The main thing is i put the images in such a place that the program executes perfectly without errors from the IDE. using the IDE which shows the contents of a .jar file, i verified that the images are indeedd present in the JAR file. however i still continue to get the same error. infact after add ing the images folder and running a 'clean and build' operation , the only difference is that the jar file, which still doesnt display images on buttons, labels etc has increased in size confirming tht the images have been added- i also verified this from the command line.
    but the same problem persists.

  • Cannot import .mxf into PPCC2014, but can into CS6 on same laptop.......huh?

    Just bought a new Asus laptop.
    i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz
    16 GB ram
    64 bit Operation
    Nvidia Geforce GTX860m
    I installed PPCC2014. I cannot import .mxf files from a Canon XF300. I CAN import them into CS6 on the same laptop.
    I've been editing .mxf files on my desktop for years in PP, and for the last year on CC2014
    I tried taking the .mxf file out of the folder, (which contains .cif, .xml and .sif file) and importing alone and it doesn't work.
    The message I get is "unsupported or damaged file."
    I've tried importing by dragging and by using import in premiere.
    Anyone know what might be going on?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    I have come across this before. Seems Premiere Pro isn't properly activated. I would suggest the following steps:
    Sign out from the Creative Cloud app and Quit it (Quit option will be available after a few seconds).
    Now move the following folders to desktop:
    1) SLCache
    Windows: OS Drive\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    Mac: Library/Application Support/Adobe
    2) SLStore
    Windows: OS drive\ProgramData\Adobe
    Mac: Library/Application Support/Adobe
    3) OOBE
    Windows: OS Drive\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe
    Mac: /User/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Launch Premiere Pro and sign in with your Adobe ID.
    NOTE: Make sure your Anti Virus/Firewall is not blocking any Adobe activation servers. Alternately, you can also check your 'hosts' file for any changes.
    If that doesn't help, i would suggest running the CC cleaner tool to uninstall Adobe apps and then reinstall:  Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Thanks,

  • I cannot import music into itunes

    I use the request "add folder to itunes" but the files do not appear in my library. Neither does the request "add files to itunes". I am using windows and have the newest available version of Itunes. What can I do to successfully import multiple folders into itunes?

    You don't import files into the iTunes Media Folder. You import into iTunes. Post your iTunes issues in the iTunes forum:

  • Import back into Project Library?

    I exported a project out of iMovie, now it's gone from my project library, does anyone know if I can get that back into "Project Library" so I can edit it?
    Thank you!

    Hello, thank you for your quick response. 
    I exported the movie by doing the following:
    Share > Export Movie > Saved as "Medium size" to my Desktop > clicked "Export"
    The file was saved as a "m4v" file.
    I was unable to drag that file back into iMovie
    Thank you!

  • Cannot Import Back into LR4 from PS

    I've been working on my macbook pro for years now exporting files from LR into PS, doing my edits, then saving and having the file automatically import back into LR.
    I just upgraded to an iMac and have everything set up, but, now, when I do the EXACT same process, I recieve the error "Could not save as "IMG_1445.tif" because write access was not granted." when trying to save my file in Photoshop.
    I have never had this problem before...Any help would be greatly appreciated! It seems pointless to have a workflow that doesn't work!!!
    If it has anything to do with it...I also get an error before exporting from LR: "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw Plug-in version 7.4 for full compatibility"
    I checked my software and it is up to date. Why would I receive this error when exporting?
    Thanks for any insight!!!

    Thanks for the tip. I actually figured it out by luck. Turns out that for some reason my external drive was showing as "read only" on the iMac even though it has has full permissions on the MacBook. So, I went to the Seagate support page and downloaded their Mac DNG file for the drive. Works perfectly now!
    Thanks for the response, I appreciate the support!
