Crashes while importing TIFFs. Also, how to import directly into an album?

Just got Aperture last night in the mail. Upgraded to 1.1.1.
I have about 250 CDs with TIFF images that I've created over the years. The TIFF files were created by a Nikon film scanner. Some of those images were later re-touched and re-saved using Photoshop.
In any event, I started importing all those CDs into Aperture to consolidate all my photographs in one place. On the first CD, Aperture crashed unexpectedly for no reason. The Aperture database would also get corrupted and I would have to delete it, and start from scratch.
Here's what I discovered. If I wait for Aperture to generate a thumbnail of all the images in the CD before I click on the "Import All" button, there are four images in the CD for which Aperture does not generate a thumbnail. Furthermore, if I tried to import the same CD into iPhoto, all files but those four would get imported. At least iPhoto doesn't crash, and after the import is finished it would tell me that four photographs could not be imported because the format was not recognized. The interesting thing is that Photoshop can open every single file on the CD (again, all of them are TIFF images)
So my (painful) workaround is to import all my CDs into iPhoto first, and then import into Aperture from iPhoto, which works very well. That way the Aperture repository doesn't get corrupted.
So, question 1: does anybody know if there's a special setting in Aperture that would stop it from crashing and gracefuly skip over any photographs that it can't recognize?
Question 2: I want to import every single CD into its own album so I later know what CD I can find the image on. Aperture seems to import always onto the project, not the album. Is there a way around this?
When I import into iPhoto, I create an empty album and then drag the files from the CD onto that album. If I then import the iPhoto album into Aperture, Aperture automatically creates an album, which is nice. I'd love to do the same but with iPhoto out of the picture (excuse the pun). That would speed up the import process tremendously.
Thanks for your help,
Julian

Are there two questions here?
1. You can indeed create an album under a Project in advance and Import direct to that. One Album per CD? Works fine. Just point the Import Arrow at the Album. NOTE: the Masters are actually held in the Project (this is true across Aperture) and Pointers are held in the Album .... but the effect is of Albums with photos > Project containing all the photos.
2. These TIF files are not corrupt, if Photoshop or iPhoto opens them. This has got to be an Aperture bug and I have the same issues with TIF's. Created a thread about it, so I hope the Aperture development team did read it (please, please, please). You could convert in Photoshop to .PSD vs. resaving (unless this is what you did) as I haven't noted this problem with .PSD files

Aperture crashes while importing from Canon Eos 5D

as from today aperture crashes while importing RAW pictures directly from my Canon eos 5D. did not have this problem before. after restarting aperture trys to recover the 4 or 5 imported pictures and then crashes again. As i'm on holyday and not having the original aperture DVD i can not reinstall aperture. Using iphoto is no problem, but importing the same pictures from iphoto into aperture results in crashing. anyone knows about this?

Before 10.5 came out, there were lots of rumors from fairly reliable websites about 10.4.11 imminent releases. In fact, plenty of us were hoping it would come out before 10.5, and with the expanded list of supported RAWs. But it's been over a week since 10.5, and there's no update from any of those rumor sites on 10.4.11. So, who knows...
I can definitely your frustration. But 10.5 is probably a worthwhile upgrade for most Mac users. Unless there's specific reasons (like there's a software you use that's known to be incompatible), you may want to upgrade now.
I am very happy with 10.5, and the the 40D RAW files look good on Aperture. No sRAW support though, which you may already know.

Configuration to allow a LEDES file to be imported directly into AP

Does anyone know if there is any configuration possible to allow a LEDES (Legal Electronic Data Exchange Standard) file to be imported directly into SAP Accounts Payable?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Problem solved ............ as I sort of suspected.
Today I acquired another card reader and guess what, FCP X imports the 50p footage perfectly.
The findings I get with my Panasonic SD800, which are probably representative of most cameras are as follows:-
1. When the camera is plugged into my iMac, FCP X will only recognise and import normal AVCHD video but not 1080/50p even when shot on a separate card.
2. With the SDHC card plugged into a card reader, FCP X recognises and imports 1080/50p
3. Also when using the card reader, there is no problem mixing AVCHD and 1080/50p on the same card as FCP X recognises both sets of clips simultaneously.

Import directly to an album?

Is there a way to import from a digital camera, directly into an album? As opposed to having to move photos into an album after iPhoto imports them into the library.
Thanks!
- Ben
p.s. I don't know if this would make a difference, but my iPhoto library is on my firewire drive.

Ben,
If you set Image Capture to do nothing when a camera is detected you can drag the photos from your camera/card in the left side of iPhoto which will create an album and a roll at the same time. However, I would count the steps as it's more than letting iPhoto do its thing and then creating an album.
Hope this helped!

IPhoto crashed while importing photos

While importing photos, iPhoto crashed. Now the pictures are damaged. Is there a possibility to regain them or salvage them?

I recovered the pictures in "Today" but they are damaged. You see the pictures in iPhoto but they are very small and there is no information about the picture availabe (shuttertime, diafragma etc).
Those are not your photos, only the thumbnails used for display.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Itunes crashing while importing audiobooks/cd's

Could someone please advise me as to why my iTunes keeps crashing while I am trying to import either audiobooks or cd's. It gets almost done, and then it just shuts down. This problem has been escalating, as I was able to import 2 or 3 discs at a time then it would crash. I would then come back to it later, and start again. Now, I can't do any at all. Does anyone have any thoughts for me? Please? Thanks in advance.

I seem to be having the same problem. I insert the cd and it reads it fine. I click to import and iTunes locks up. I use task manager to close iTunes and system is still bogged down. I have paid several people $$ and they don't seem to know the problem. There has to be a conflict somewhere but where?
Last person to help suggested that I use WinAmp to rip the cd and THEN import to iTunes.
Hubby has a Creative Labs MP3 and ripped 100+ cd's prior to iTunes installation with no problem.
Can anybody out there help?

ITunes crashing while importing from CD

I am a very new first-time iPod owner and am very frustrated by iTunes crashing with an access violation while importing from CD.
This has happened with a number of different and brand new CDs and it will import a number of tracks but then falls over. If I try to just import the particular track it will crash again but other tracks are imported OK. However if I drag and drop the same track from a windows explorer view into iTunes it will then import fine without crashing.
Any suggestions? OS is XP Pro. PC is Athlon 64 Dual Core with 1GB RAM. iTunes v 6.0.1.3

Crashing while importing AAF created in AVid

I am trying to exchange sequences between AVID MC 5.0 and PP CS5. I have exported my media from AVid 2 ways: 1) by linking to ("don't export") and 2) by exporting media. The AAF is created and when I try to import into a new project in PP with the same project settings PP crashes.
any advice?

I was able to import an AAF without media attached. So basically I got
the timeline to import into Premiere. Maybe you are then supposed to get
copies of the source files (not the mxf files but the source that
created the mxf?) and link to the source files?
I'm having the same problem. I've tried to export different AAF's from Avid. Either linked to original location, consolidated to folder or embedded. Premiere will either crash on import, or import the sequence with audio but all video offline.
I've been through what I can find of documentation, and there seem to be scant few details about what kind of AAF's Premiere will accept.
Avid MC v 5.0.3.5, project 25i PAL, media 1:1 MXF
Premiere 5.0.2
System:
Windows 7 x64 Professional
Dell Precision T7500
2x Xeon 5580, 48GB RAM, Nvidia Quadro FX3800, 3x 15k rpm SAS 450GB drives - 1 for system, 2 in raid for data

Error while importing CSR into key storage?

Dear All,
I am trying to implement the SSL certificates on our production server. I have generated the CSR from Visual Admin --> Key Storage. I forwarded it to CA and got the certificate response also. Now while importing the certificate into key storage, it is giving me following error:
The private ket pair doesnt match the certificate response file: Invalid PKCS#1 padding, no leading zeros.
What can be the cause and probable solution on this issue? Any help on this will be highly appreciated. Kindly reply..
Thank you,
Ameya

Hi,
I resolved this error by making it sure that there are no extra spaces or unwanted caracter copied while copying the certificate response from the CA. Make sure you are copying the certificate response properly. In my case, some extra space was getting copied so after re-copyinf it properly, it worked.

Warning while importing MPP into Primavera

i get this warning while Importing MPP(from MS project 2003) into primavera (P6r7)--
WARNING: Unresolved foreign key is being nulled. Table : TASK, Foreign Table : RSRC, Field : rsrc_id, value : 13
can u pl explain what this means and which area might have failed during the export.
also, are there any guidelines while impoting mpp into Primavera?

This could be because the resource name/description contains a foreign character such as ". Check all resources and rename if required. Then import again.
Also, try the import using XML.

I have iphoto 5.0.4 My computer crashed while trying to quit iphoto and when I rebooted my albums and organized folders had all disapeared. All my photos are still there but how do I retrieve my folders and albums? I tried rebuilding the database

My computer crashed while quiting iphoto. When I rebooted my albums and folders had disappeared. How do I get them back? I tried rebuilding the database to no avail. I am using iphoto 5...
Thank you community!

Most simple solution: restore from your back up.
Other than that, try Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Error while Importing Metadata into DAC Repository

Hi,
After the successful first time login into DAC and creating repository, when I try to import metadata into DAC repository.
DAC > Tools > DAC Repository Management > Import
I don't see any Applications listed under "Application List"
Can anybody suggest the troubleshooting steps for this?
Regards,
Jitendra

If this is the first time that you are importing make sure that the directory you are importing from is like this -
C:\OBIEE\OracleBI\DAC\export
If this is not the first time then
Can you go inside the following directory
C:\OBIEE\OracleBI\DAC\log
and check for export.log - Look for Applications Section, if you have any application then you had exported it and you should see it under the applications tab when importing otherwise you don't !!Since its an xml file that is generated i believe you have not exported by selecting the applications yo want and that is your problem.
Hope this helps !!
Cheers,
Sid

Is there an easier way? Import directly into a playlist?

I am in the middle of ripping all of my 5000+ cd's into iTunes as Apple Lossless files. I'm creating a music server with a Mac Mini, a few 1TB firewire hard drives & a Fubar II dac. I have about 500 done so far and it is becoming a handful. I insist on using playlists because I listen to lots of weird music with a lot of the artists using aliases so I want to be able to group them all together.
This is what I've been doing. I create a few hundred blank playlists. I import my cd making any changes first using command & I. I then scroll down to where all the untitled playlists are. I then have to scroll all the way to where the songs that were imported are listed alphabetically.I choose them using shift & the mouse dragging them to an untitled playlist. I do it this way because if I found by titling the playlist while it was importing and placing it where it sits alphabetically I was taking to much time trying to drag those tracks to the correct playlist. I was also occasionally dropping them in the wrong playlist altogether.
Is there really no way to automatically create a playlist using the artist and album info that you set up or what is automatically generated with cddb? Or can I really not create what I want my playlist to be titled and import the cd directly into it? I can't seem to solve this by using a smart playlist either. Any recommendations?

Here's what I've been doing for years. Its against the grain but so what.
I have 10,000 ripped files. From this I selected 2265 mp3 files(call these my Favorites) which always get "added to library" whenever I re-do my computer(s) which is very often(my hobby).
I use the Finder to organize my Music first not itunes. So I make folders and call them for example Metal, Jazz, etc ...within these folders become Artist names for example Beatles, Who , etc....I delete anything that is ahead of the name of the song(such as track number, its embedded anyway), Why? so it fits better in the smallish 'window' of music car player, etc...So what do I have ? A folder with 2265 mp3 files without track numbers and only my favorite mp3 files.
When I re-do the computer I just set up itunes always unchecking in "advanced preferences" for it to organize and make copies. I do that not itunes. I add to the library. Wait for itunes to do its thing. Set the view options. The only ones I do are, Artist, Album, bitrate, size, Grouping, time & equalizer.
Once the add is done I do that not itunes automatically, I focus on the Grouping. Examples are Metal, Folk, Smooth Jazz, etc I set these up years ago using itunes. The mp3 hold these id tags except equalizer. I select the Grouping column to arrange the sort, takes 1 second. Then do a select all by grouping and an command + i to set each Grouping equalizer all in one shot. When Equalizer function is completed for all the files then I make playlists. My Playlist is the same name as Grouping, for example Metal Grouping gets Metal playlist. That way I can find the entire Group of Metal and drag them to the playlist. All this sounds complicated, but how to explain? The entire process when I re-do my Mac takes 5 to 10 minutes. The hard work is setting up your MP3 files in the Finder but once done you only need to back up those files. iTunes is out of it. Lastly make sure you id3 tag your files when done in the itunes library using view and setting options. Make sure you drag these tagged files back to your original drive where you back them up. So they retain their tags you gve them.
Hope this helps
