Crash on importing files not imported because of crash

make sense?
I imported some photos and iPhoto crashed. When I reopen iPhoto there is a message:
8 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library folder that were not imported. Would you like to import them?
It crashes every time I click the Yes button. I don't care about importing the photos anymore. I just want to get rid of that message.
I've rebuilt using all of the options and it still crashes. I've tried to find the 8 photos via the Finder and just delete, but no luck.
There is no albumn entitled "Recovered photos ..."
Any ideas on what else I can do?
The photos were in jpg format that were all run through graphic converter.

In your library, in the pictures/iphoto folder, there should be a folder named "import". Empty it and you will be fine.

Files not imported because they could not be read. L5.3 on Mac from SD card in reader RAW photos

Files not imported because they could not be read. L5.3 on Mac from SD card in reader RAW photos and video visible when card inserted but not able to import. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

This message means that you don't have permission to write to the destination folder or disk drive. This is an operating system issue that can be resolved by changing permissions. And you can get plenty of information on how to do that by doing a web search for "change disk permissions".

RAW files not importing correctly into iPhoto

I'm having problems importing .CR2 files into iPhoto. This didn't used to happen with Tiger, so I'm trying to figure out what the issue is. I'm using iPhoto 7.1.1 (354) with Leopard 10.5.1. I previously had 10.4.8.
I'm wondering if it's an issue with networking. Currently, my iPhoto Library is on a NAS because it's big (about 86GB) and I have RAID redundancy on the NAS. The original files are fine, but the imported files (not just the thumbnails) are corrupted. If there's a problem with data transmission, would that show as a data corruption?

Michael
I don't have a NAS myself and my ignorance of it and networking one is pretty much total. However, this thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1100543&tstart=0
records a discovery by one user using a similar system. It has to do with iPhoto using ':' for temp files and folders, and Samba having a problem with the character.
Hope that helps.

"Files not imported because they could not be read" from SD card.

Trying to import photos from my disk. Was able to download 2/3 of chosen files. Came back to do the last 3rd, and a message pops up, "The following files were not imported because they could not be read." then listed the file names that were not imported. Thought maybe it was the card, or a fluke. New disk today, same issue. Any resolution ideas

Usually, that error message comes up because the files couldn't be written. Yes, I know, it's weird.
Generally, it's because you are trying to write to a folder or a disk that is protected some way. You need permission to write to that folder, and on Windows 7, you need to have ownership of that disk and folder--running as an administrator isn't enough.
What operating system are you running, and what version on Lightroom?

LR 5 "Some import operations were not performed." Following files not updated because could not be read

Having difficulty with LR5, can view photos on card while trying to import but receive following message "Some import operations were not performed." "The following files were not updated because they could not be read."

Check your destination folder in LR at the top right of the Import panel. LR cannot copy the photos there and so when it tries to import them they aren’t there and cannot be read.
In other words the “cannot be read” message indicates that photos cannot be written to the destination.

.mxf files not importing and crashing premiere

Hello folks
I am editing an event project for a college class. We used three HVX and recorded onto P2 cards. We used about 8 p2 cards total.
Several of the files and entire folder of the video .mxf files will not import into premiere. I get a box stating it is importing them, but the program will state that it is not responding several moments later and I have to force close the entire project.
I have played these .mxf files on VLC player and they play, so I am unsure of how to get adobe premiere cs6 to accept these files without crashing if I can at all.
Thank you,
James

I am editing on a school PC (a dell) and it is using windows 7.
It is Adobe Premiere Cs6 I am not aware of any updates that have been updating (ex. patches) or what the internal parts are on the computer.
The video files are in MXF format.
I do not believe the proram is running any thrid party effects or codecs.
A handful of the MXF files will not import into premiere, but instead crash the system.

NEF files not importing because they cannot be read in lightroom 5

What is a clear and simple solution to this? LR has been working fine and now nothing. NEF files will not import on my Mac.

this means you do not have permission to WRITE to this folder. Correct your permissions. I really wish Adobe would correct this message!

Files not importing

I am getting a number of files that won't import into my iPhoto 09. I can't see anything odd about them. For example the last one that wouldn't go in was 8 bit, rbg, jpg. The error message simply says "The following files can not be imported." What are the reason file won't import?
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response.
Long story short - my computer crashed when i was upgrading to leopard and ilife'09. So now that both are installed on a fresh computer, i launched iphoto '09 which didn't have anything in it. It automatically directed me to import pictures from the iphoto library on my backup/external hard drive. When I clicked okay, it then imported all those pictures and created an iphoto '09 library. But like i said, all the pics ending with _2.jpg would not import.
I haven't tried the open and save with preview trick yet but will try that. I worry that that is the only solution because I have about 3300 pictures affected by this problem.
Thanks for your help TD.

Sound files not importing

I have a problem while trying to import any sound file into flash CS5.5. I have not successfully done it since purchasing the program. I have tried opening the file in a sound editor and saving it, as well as trying to convert to a different sound type that is still Flash compatible. I'm trying with .mp3 and .wav files mostly. The error messages i receive are "Couldn't import C://*file location* or else i get"One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them." I havent figured out a pattern as to why either might be showing or the connection to the file.

there may be something wrong with the mp3. sometimes i receive mp3 files from clients that i can't import into flash. when that happens, i drag the mp3 into iTunes, select the file, click advanced, click create mp3 version. iTunes creates a new mp3 file which i click and drag out of iTunes (which creates a copy of that new file) into my job folder. flash imports the mp3 i dragged into the job folder. then i go back and delete both versions out of iTunes.
note: if you don't see that option in iTunes, go to iTunes preferences > general > import settings > mp3 encoder

Importing files not in name order

When importing files from my pmw 200 it wont put them in name order . Hence when selecting them and automating to sequence my footage is all mixed up and is not flowing in the order it should be in if any one knows whats going on please help ......

We struggled with this too for awhile, just because we wanted to view the clips as icon (like everyone does) but in the order we took them.
Depending on which version of Premiere you are using you can now select a sort order in clip bin window itself by clicking on 'Sort Icons' icon at the bottom of the clip bin (next to the zoom bar) and choosing 'List View Sort'. This should give you them in the order that they were taken. It's reverts though everytime you open and close the project, which is a pain.
Better solution is this though and it works for older versions of the premiere too. First, view the bin as a list view (bottom left icon) which should order them in the order you want or click on the column headers to get the correct order you want them to appear in. Then create a new empty bin, select icon view for this window and then select all the clips and drag them into the new bin. They should retain the correct order but be viewable as icons and they'll stay in that order forever more!

Imported files not found after re-configuring pc drive partitions !

I had alot of files I imported into ITunes which were in the following folder location c:\myfiles.
I have now moved these to a new drive partition d:\myfiles because there was no more space on C: drive.
Now when I play these songs I get an ! (Excalamtion mark) against all the songs I imported and also a 'Cannot play song ..... original file cannot be found' message.
I can browse to the new location and select the song which fixes it but I have alot of these to manually select.
Is there a simple way of making all the imported songs point to the new location ?
Thanks.

The simplest thing to do is to start a new library and reimport the files, but you loose all metadata.
Close iTunes, drag iTunes library.itl out of the iTunes folder to the desktop. When you start iTunes an empty library will be created. Use File>>Add folder to library to add your music.
If you really want your metadata and you don't mind a bit of editing, there is a way of rebuilding your library from the xml file.
Close iTunes and drag iTunes library.itl and iTunes Library.xml out of the iTunes folder to the desktop.
oPen iTunes Library.xml with WordPad.
Look for lines starting:
<key>Location</key>
You will see the paths to files. Note that the space character is replaced by %20.
If there is a simple find/replace you can do to correct the path e.g. change the drive letter, then you should be able to recreate you library from the edited xml file.
It would be a good idea to make a copy of the original xml file in case you don't get it right first time.

OMF Files not Importing into Logic 7.2.3

Can anyone help me with this ongoing problem ? I'm writing music for a film where my editor is using the latest version of Final Cut Pro 5.1.2, I'm running Logic 7.2.3 on OSX 10.4.8 she exports the OMF Files....but I can't import them on my system. The files are imported without any problems at the mixers studio, but he uses Pro Tools.
Any Ideas ???

logic's import and export is very unreliable. actually it is something that i think is quite disgraceful. that said:
- are you sure that you have a self-contained OMF file in version 2 format? not a referenced OMF? you can tell because the OMF file will be large if it has the audio content embedded or small if it does not.
- most OMF problems are problems that come from the originator. for example, you can get problems if the audio is at different sample rates.
- try to get everyone to work with AAF files which are more reliable and do the same job.
- logic doesn't support different sample rates at the same time, unlike many video editing programmes. the audio should be consolidated before exporting and video references removed.
i hope this helps. this really is an area of weakness within logic. please post back with how you get on.

AVI Files not importing into CS4 from DVD

I have the DVD disk for Premiere Pro CS4 Classroom In A Book and all the avi files have only sound and when imported into Premiere Pro CS4 a missing codec error warning appears and the file will not import.
I have to say this problem only occurs with my 27" iMac and not at all with a MacBook Pro or a 20" iMac. I have tried repeatedly to copy the DVD to the 27" iMac but the problem still persists.
*+Now this is the really weird bit+:*
Using Screen Sharing from another mac, the files are normal. All other avi files are also normal on the 27" iMac.
I wondered if anyone can throw any light on this problem?

I tried a different converter and also changed the playback preferences -which was down at 44.1kHz- up to 96kHz as I know the hi res files are supposed to be up at this level.
Not sure if it was one or the other of your suggestions, or both, but it has worked, so many thanks for your quick and effective help!

Why do some AVI files not import into iMovie?

Some of my AVI video does not import into iMovie. When I try, it gives me a non-specific error message. Is there a way I can import it? Other AVI files import with no problem.

AVI is a container, not a format; the audio and video in an AVI may use any codec, and some codecs can't be used in Mac OS X. Installing Perian may help.
