Certain photos won't import into catalog...

When I attempted to import about 650 photos from an 8GB CF card, the last 100 photos failed to import. I received a catalog error and LR was forced to restart. However, even after the catalog was fixed and I resumed the importing process, the same 100-photo segment failed to import without a catalog error.
I then decided to create a new catalog and import the photos here (while copying the RAWs to my computer). This worked. I tested the new catalog for integrity and usability, and it was fine. However, when I tried to merge the new catalog with my main catalog, I received the same catalog error.
I'm not sure what the issue it. I'm guessing that it might have something to do with an issue with copying the RAWs to directory in my main catalog, but I'm not sure. This still makes no sense to me. At the moment, I'm working on those 100 photos separately with no problems, but would really like to incorporate them into my main catalog for archival purposes.

Is your catalog 2GB and on a FAT32 volume, where 2GB is the maximum file-size?
Can you import anything else into this catalog, such as JPGs or other new test RAWs?

Certain photos won't import into iPhoto?

Today I tried to import all of my photos from the past few months into iPhoto from my iPhone 5s. But what I discovered is that all of my pictures from February 21st until May 9th won't import or won't appear in my iPhoto library, but they are obviously still on my phone. All of my pictures from May 9th until now imported, but it's just within that specific time frame that none of those pictures will import and I have absolutely no idea why. I tried rebooting my computer and phone, force quitting iPhoto, selecting only the photos that won't import and trying to import those individually, but nothing is working. Please help, I'm really upset and frustrated.

HT204655 My photos won't import into Word for Mac after OS X upgrade

After upgrading to the new OS X Yosemite does anyone know how to import photos into Word or Excel for Mac? That library is now grayed out for me and I am in mid-project on Word. I used to be able to copy and paste right into my document, now it seems I must exclusively work within the Photos program.

I actually found that the issue started for me after the MS Office update last week. It was originally working fine with the new Photos for Mac App until the MS Office update. Now Word can't find the photo browser, it only shows Photo Booth. I also can't drag drop photos from the Mac App into Word, like I used to be able to. At the moment I export the photos to a directory then I can input from file in Word. That works, but it's a bit untidy.
I'm thinking off trying the Office 2016 for Mac, which are available now as demos. Unfortunately Microsoft don't reply to questions that are raised, so I'm not sure what the underlying issue is with photo's not working.

I have 1000 photos in an iPhoto Library that won't import into Photos because it says the metadata can't be read. Yet those JPG files open just fine in iPhoto, GraphicConverter, et al. What gives?

It’s part of the basic install of OS X. So unless you deleted it then it’s there in your apps folder. If you have deleted it, it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. You will be able to extract the installation package using Pacifist.
Alternatively, if you’re using almost any camera +apart from a Canon+ then the camera card is visible on the desktop and you can drag the movie to the desktop using the Finder and import from there.
No matter what camera you use, if you pop the card from it into a USB Card Reader then it will be accessible via the Finder. Card Readers are inexpensive and all round a better idea.
Why use a Card Reader?
Because it’s safer: Less risk of your images being lost if your camera shuts down during transfer.
Because it saves the battery on your camera
Because it saves wear and tear on your camera ports
Because it’s almost always faster.

Photos won't import images from my Canon camera. When connected, program sees the images, tells me it will import the new ones, then freezes once import starts, not allowing any other operation to happen. MacbookPro 15" 2012, OSX Yosemite 10.10.3.

Solution discovered. Faulty connector cable. Tried a different one and it worked.

After effects animation Codec won't import into FCP

Hi
I have used After Effects to do a green screen key on some HD 1080i footage.
I then went to export - quicktime movie - animation
I understand that the animation codec is the only way to export with an alpha channel so that I can put other footage in after my nice green screen key.
I set quality to best and frame rate to 25, I also tried frame rate as current and it exports and plays back fine in quicktime movie player, but won't import into final Cut.
The error message is "wrong frame rate"
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am quite new to after effects and wonder if there is something wrong with the way it is seeing the footage as I shot in widescreen and the image is squeezed as for a 4:3 TV aspect ratio.
Thanks.
Ajay

1. Check your AE composition settings (cmd-k) and be sure your frame rate is set to 25... AE uses the frane rate of your composition and not the settings in your export module...
2. Do not use the "export" command in AE... that is used only for special purposes only (i.e. for using "quicktime exporto compnents" not available under the export queue)...
3. use the "make movie" or "add to export queue" command instead
4. You expot module should be set as:
- best settings
- animation + alpha
do not specify any frame rate in the export module!! AE automatically uses the frame rate in your composition settings!!
5. Export and import into fcp...
I never had problems with AE animation+alpha and fcp 6.0.1

M4p's (iTunes) won't import into Logic

The music supervisor for a film I'm working on suggested that I download some specific tracks from iTunes and lay them up against picture (as temp only) to give me an idea of the the mood he wants for various scenes. But wouldn't ya know, iTunes files are .m4p's and won't import into Logic. Or will they? Am I missing something?
(And BTW, using the "Convert Selection to WAV" in iTunes doesn't work for m4p files -- an error message comes up saying "_____ cannot be converted because protected files cannot be converted to other formats.")

hello...
I've had success importing 2 ways;
right click/ctrl-click song in iTunes:convert to mP3; import
the best solution has been to create an audio track and import directly into the track. The 'import' on the main menu does not seem to import what the audio track will import. I ran into this same issue for a while until I tried the second option and had no problem.
Also...burn the track onto an audio cd then import the audio track from the cd (no longer an mp4a)

Videos won't import into iTunes 7

I want to put some of my own videos onto my new iPod video, but I can't put any videos into iTunes. I've tried dragging and dropping, "import" and "add file". And nothign ever shows up. How am I suppossed to put video into itunes that I don't buy from the iTunes store? Thanks for the help.

This also happens with me. I have an Intel Core Duo 17", running iTunes 7.1 with the latest Quicktime, and OS 10.4.4. My movies work great in Quicktime, but won't import into iTunes at all. When I try to drop them on my iPod directly, it tells me that my 5th gen iPod can't display video.
I brought my iPod into work today, and hooked it up to the G5/dual 1.8 tower here, also running iTunes 7, and quicktime (7.1.3 I think?), OS 10.3.9. I was able to drop the videos directly into iTunes, and they showed up fine. I was also able to then put the video on my iPod.
As for the video, I converted them to .mp4 files with a 3rd party converter from .mpg files.
Interested to see what the solution is. Glad I'm not the only one with this problem!

is there anyway to stop iPhoto 9.6 creating a new unnamed album within a named album when I drag a new photo into the named album. for example: There is a album called Fred. I have a new photo of Fred imported into the Last import Folder. I wanted to drag it into the album called Fred but iPhoto creates a new unnamed album within Fred.
Any ideas please. I am using Yosemite 10.1.1
Many thanks Jaz Eilles

Sounds like you have a folder with an album named fred inside of it. Folders can only hold other folders, albums, slideshows, etc. but not just photos. So you must be sure to drop the photo directly onto the album titled fred that resides inside that folder otherwise it will create a new album.
So expand the folder so the fred album is visible and drop the new photo onto the album.

IPhone sometimes won't delete all the photos after I import into iPhoto

Every so often, my iPhone 3GS won't delete some photos after importing into iPhoto and choosing "delete originals." It deletes most of the originals but strangely keeps a certain number around. My basic routine is to "Import All" and then "Delete Originals." This works 98% of the time, but sometimes the iPhone just gets hung up and won't delete the originals until I manually do it from the iPhone itself.

I was looking further into this and I found out that on my Macbook Pro's System Preferences. In the iCloud settings, the "Photos" setting was checked and in the Options next to that, the "My Photo Stream" and "Photo Sharing" was also checked.
I think this was the main problem. After I used iTunes to sync with the photos maybe there was some cache settings or something residual left on the iPhone which let to it being continuously restoring.
This is the fix which I used. It is fine now.
Check in System Preferences for - iCloud >> Photos is unchecked.
Check in System Preferences for - iCloud >> Photos >> Options >> "My Photo Stream" and "Photo Sharing" is unchecked.
Temporarily delete account for iCloud settings on iOS device - Settings >> iCloud (This didn't affect my main iCloud account only deleted my information on the device)
Re-sync iOS device with iTunes.
Set up your iCloud account on iOS device again.
Hope this helps for anyone having this problem.

Certain songs won't import to iTunes

Hi all,
I recently purchased the most recent 13" MacBook Pro which seems to be running fine, except I am having trouble with iTunes. When I download songs and drag them into iTunes, they either go in then I get a pop-up window saying "Attempting to copy to the disk "Macintosh HD" failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" or they don't go in and I get this same pop-up window, and then another pop-up window saying "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (13001). These are all normal mp3 files so I have no clue why certain files won't save properly.
Help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
you may also give everyone read & write access.
*the important part is to apply to enclosed items* !
These are all normal mp3 files
iTunes can be a bit picky which MP3s it accepts. run the problem files by _*MP3 Validator*_, then try again to add them to your library.

Photos won't import

Connected my iphone to sycnronize with itunes.
itunes/iphone did not recongnize device
Opened up image capture. Unplugged phone and re-plugged it and then device showed up in image capture.
Attemped to go through the process to pull photos off phone and import into iphoto.
iphoto pulled all photos successfully - I clicked "delete photos" from device after import. Photos sucessfuly deleted from phone.
Closed image capture
When back into iPhoto. When I clicked on "import photos" it would bounce to the "last import" screen and then an error message popped up that said jpg file is unrecgonizable. I tried several times. Even tried deleting photos that it highlighted as unrecognizable to no avail. Finally go frustrated and disconnected device and now the photos are gone. :-(
Are they gone gone? It looks like icloud did a back-up last night. If I restore my phone to the back-up on icloud will the pictures come back to camera roll?
How do I get them to import correctly?
I'm sick over this! Thanks!

Can you drag them to the Clips Pane? Sometimes the Timeline is fussy and won't import, but the Clips Pane should.
Are they accessible from the Media Pane in iMovie?
Do the photos function correctly inside iPhoto? Specifically, can you view them at full size, and will they open for editing?

Apple store videos won't import into Video iPod

I spent about 19 hours over the last few days talking with mac support phone people, my own Mac repair guy, and the "geniuses" at the local Apple store, and no-one seems to know why I can't get the tv episode I downloaded from the Apple store website to go onto my new video iPod. The Apple store "genius" I first talked to noticed I had an iPod programmed to work in Windows, even though I have a G4, running 10.4.3, with the newest versions of iPhoto, Quicktime, and iTunes, and told the guy that info when I ordered the thing in October. The "genius" did a system restore, and loaded a couple of music videos, which I could view.
When I synced it up to my computer, I got the dialog box asking if I wanted to associate the iPod with my computer instead of the one at the store. I did, and I lost the ability to import videos. When I clicked on the iPod icon at the bottom of the iTunes page to see preferences, both video and photo buttons were missing. Calls up to the 2nd level of iTunes support and Desktop support failed to restore it, even after I did an archive install of Tiger. I finally installed Tiger on another internal drive (it had Panther), updated everything, and when I boot from that drive, I see the video and photo buttons in the iPod preferences. After making my other drive point to my iTunes library on the first hard-drive, I re-downloaded all of my music files to the iPod, but it still won't import the tv show (it also no longer allows me to import my podcasts). Apple support personnel recommended I exchange the iPod for another one, but the folks at the local Apple store wouldn't let me, even though I have a case number (#56524834, in case any Apple monitors want to help out). I've lost so much time and have become so frustrated (I could have watched the show on my Mac 19 times by now; it does play on the computer, so I know the file works) that I'm thinking of dumping my Apple stock. After all, if the customer service is this lousy for a guy who's always used Macs, I think the company is going to lose ground to other companies. Any ideas on how I can get the videos into my iPod (and regain the ability to import podcasts)? thanks, in advance!

But it was the actual MP4 file downloaded from Apple's own website, so I doubt that it was encoded incorrectly. I think it's faulty software, and I'm waiting for Apple to release a patch to fix it. But I don't expect they'll admit it. On the other hand, I can't help but wonder if it has something to do with the fact that my iPod was originally encoded to work on PCs.
I'm not an expert but my understanding is that the files are supposed to be independent of the HD here. If you were able to load any files to the iPod before this problem, then I don't see why HD format should be a problem in this one particular case.
As to the file being from Apple's own web site, I don't consider that a guarantee that mistakes won't be made. However, as a commercial ($$$) enterprise, I consider their product in a "professional" light and hold them to a higher standard than I would others. The file I previosuly mentioned was, strangely enough, a tutorial on podcasting. It is from a series dealing with Apple products (like Aperture) and techniques (like exporting an iPod compatible file from iMovie or batch procissing in QT using Automator) so I assumed the authors are either Apple Techs or Apple "Specialists." That is why I was surprised when one of the podcasts would not sync.
In any case, the conversion of media to iPod compatible format and podcasting is in what... a 60-75 day infancy. So I do expect there will be problems. Especially based on the mistakes I've made in performing any own conversions and initial podcasting test of a public domain (old 1936 Republic "Saturday" matinee movie) Ray "Crash" Corrigan serial. Software, techniques, and workflows simply aren't "perfected" at this point, so I tend to try and learn from the mistakes -- both my own and others.
On the other hand, however, it might be a god idea to post a list of "problem" podcast files to see if these problems are actually file related, download related, or unique to individual iPods. In any case, best of luck to you.

LR4.4 photos won't import nikon d7100

I have updated LR 4.4.1 and cannot import my photos from my Nikon d7100. They are in .NEF format. I am using the new iMAC 2.7ghz. I am the "managed user" and my wife is the admin user. Neither of us can import the photos, therefore, it is not a permission issue. I have called mac and they have done all they can do. It now seems like it is an adobe issue. I am trying to import from the sd card. I can see the images, up to about 50 images, but when I say import, it runs through the process to finally tell me that the import was unsuccessful.
HELP!!!!!

Have the files or SD card ever been used in Nikon Transfer or other Nikon software? There is a known issue where the files from the D7100 are used in older versions of Nikon Transfer that shipped with an earlier camera model.
I have no problem importing into LR4.4 (see image below) but I first copied the file to a folder on my hard drive and in LR used Import >> Add
You could try shooting a fresh NEF and copying straight to the hard drive to see if that makes any difference.
