Elements 9 Organiser "Copy new files only" problem

Whenever I import pictures into Elements 9 Organiser it still imports pictures that I've previously imported even though in the Preferences "Copy new files only (ignore already imported files" is ticked. I have to deselect all the pictures and reselect the new ones. Never was a problem with Elements 5 & 6.
Any suggestions..??

In the download dialog box, have set any constants like owner or copyright fields?
Once you have downloaded the image for the first time, do you make any changes to the original in PSE?

Copy new file when dropped in one folder to another

Hi!
I have two folders, FolderA and FolderB
When a file is dropped in FolderA I want it to be copied to FolderB.
FolderA will contain other items, I only want to copy new files as they are dropped in FolderA regardless of what else is in either Folder and without copying the entire contents of FolderA.
This seems such a simple request but I cannot fathom it out.
Any suggestions greatly received.
Thanks
Colin

make the following folder action attached to folder A. (I tested it and it works).
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder"
try
duplicate added_items to folder "B" of folder "Desktop" of folder "username" of folder "Users" of startup disk
end try
end tell
end adding folder items to
In place of "username" put the name of your home directory. Also the above script works if folder B sits on the desktop. If it's somewhere else, modify the path in the above script.
Hope this helps.

Exchange 2010 SP3 RU5 installation hangs on "Copying new files"

Dear forum,
I meet an issue installing the rollup 5 of Exchange 2010 SP3 on a HUB server with WS 2008 R2.
After launching the install from an elevated command prompt, and after the setup stops and disables some services, it starts "Copying new files" and then hangs. Nothing in the events logs, no popup message.
I let it alone for more than an hour but nothing happens.
Launching it with /log returns this line at the end:
"InstallFiles: File: Copying new files, Directory: , Size: "
Do you have already meet this issue or do you have any idea about the cause?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Amy,
You'll find below the errors found in the rollup setup log:

Error message when I try to copy new files (images, documents) to mac from flash drive/SD card

I am recieving an error message when I try to copy new files (images, documents) to mac from flash drive/SD card. The message is saying "operation cannot be completed because an item already exists with that name." They are brand new therefore not the same name? I cannot even put them in a brand new folder... How can I fix this?
Please help me!

You don't need to recover the system.
Launch the 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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press the space bar:
dot_clean -m
Switch to the Finder and drag the icon of the flash drive into the Terminal window. Some text will appear after what you entered. Press return.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. Then quit Terminal and try the copy again.

I can not delete or copy new files to my Iomega external hard drive

Hi,
I can not delete or copy new files to my Iomega external hard drive. Opening hard drive folder I can see that I can not overwrite it. I have heard that I need to install some program for the external hard drive to operate properly in Mac.
Please help what to install or there is some other option.
Thnx

I'm not the expert on this since I have never done it. It sounds like you may need a data rescue program like Data Rescue III. I believe you can download a demo and see if you can see the files. If you can, then you can buy the program and retrieve the files. I don't know if Disk Utility can restore them--I think they have to be visible but this is not something I have ever had to do.
In the meantime, don't do anything with the drive--you don't want to overwrite any files. Hopefully all or most of the files are still there and you will be able to retrieve them. The less the drive is used, the better your chances are of retrieving the data.
Forgive me for not realizing that there were files on the drive that you wanted to save. Upon re-reading your question, I now see that there were. I should have known to warn you, and my bad that I didn't.
Good luck!

ITunes stops at "copying new files" during installation?

Well, my laptop is new and I wanted to install iTunes. I downloaded it directly from the official Apple website, but whenver I try to install it, it stops at "copying new files". The whole laptop stops functioning and I have to shut it down via the power button. I tried installing iTunes at least 3 times and it ended in the same result. I was afraid that shutting down my laptop that way anymore would harm my laptop, so I decided to get some help.

Any help? I need an answer to this as soon as possible.

Time Machine is not copying new files to new drive

I was just searching thru my TM to restore some old files and realise that my TM has not been backing up new files after a certain date. After much pondering, I realise that was when I changed my old TM drive to a larger drive. I copied all my old backups from the old drive to the new larger drive using this method shown in https://support.apple.com/kb/HT5096. After which TM has been backuping up the files with no errors so I thought all was well.
What i didin't realise was that TM has been backing up the same 43 files over and over again and they are all dated 20 March 2013.
Starting standard backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/an_mew backup/Backups.backupdb
1.42 GB required (including padding), 874.70 GB available
Copied 20 files (93 bytes) from volume Macintosh SSD.
Copied 23 files (93 bytes) from volume Macintosh HD.
Starting post-backup thinning
Deleted /Volumes/an_mew backup/Backups.backupdb/Angela Wangsawidjaja's iMac/2013-04-24-021045 (24.0 KB)
Post-back up thinning complete: 1 expired backups removed
Backup completed successfully.
Nothing after 20 March 2103 has been backed up.
I have tried repairing the TM drive thru Disk Utility, removing the TM drive from Time Machine Preferences and re-adding it back, turning Time Machine Preferences off then on again, and restarting from Safe Mode to force a deep traversal scan. Nothing works... my latest backup still shows my latest files as 20 March 2013 only.
Can someone tell me how I can make Time Machine to do a full backup of my SSD and HD without losing all old my backups (before 20 March 2013) that I copied from my old drive?
Thank you.

Looks like it didn't work for http://pondini.org/TM/A4.html
I checked a few days later and none of the newer files are being backup again!!
when i check the TM messages it give me the same thing for the past backups from 25 April 2013.

Automator and applescript to copy new files in a folder with same name as parent folder

I have an iMac with a pictures folder (Finder folder) containing several subfolders with pictures. As per now, all these subfolders are imported into an iPhoto library (and the structure of the Finder pictures folder is thus maintained: The iPhoto events are named the same as the Finder subfolder). I.e. I have not created any albums in iPhoto.
I have also set up a workflow, where new iPhone photos are automatically being synced to specified Finder folders within the iMac pictures folder. So what I want to do is to make a workflow to import potential new photos from week to week into the existing iPhoto structure. I know iPhoto has this Autoimport folder, so this one is unpacked and "mapped". So, this is what I´m hoping to do:
Automator (iCal - want to do this on a weekly basis):
- Get specified Finder items -- set to target folder = iMac pictures folder
- Get folder content (with subfolders)
- Filter Finder items
     - Items from the last 7 days (which then would be any new files created last week)
- Applescript/shell script loop(?)
     - Get folder name for each file´s (from previous step) parent folder
     - Create new folder with same name as the file´s parent folder (if not already existing) under the iPhoto Autoimport folder
     - Copy the given file into the folder from above
- Run iPhoto application (Automator task), which then should just auto import the new photos according to the Finder folder structure
Whith the workflow above, I aim to maintain the existing iPhoto structure, and just import new photos into the existing structure. Creating folder names under the Autoimport, similar as the existing Finder folder names / iPhoto events should make it possible to have the new files imported under the existing event, right?

Anyone?
I have now switched to Aperture (from iPhoto) due to Aperture´s capability to handle Finder folder structure, and due to the possibility of having the pictures within Aperture as referenced files to the pictures within the Finder folders (i.e. possibility to delete pictures from both library and Finder folder at the same time).
So I have a superior Finder folder called "Album". Within "Album" I have several subfolders (sub albums) containing pictures. The "Album" folder with subfolders are imported into Aperture as "Projects and albums", and the pictures are uploaded within the Aperture structure as referenced files. So for now the Aperture structure is more or less a direct mirror of the Finder folder structure, whereas "Album" is the project.
And this is my current workflow in Automator, but I´m searching help with my Applescript:
- Get specified Finder items (target folder = the superior Finder folder "Album")
- Get Folder content
- Filter Finder items (to look for potential new files to import into Aperture)
     - Kind is not folder
     - Date created last X days
The output files from this task enters an Applescript
on run {input, parameters}
       repeat with f in input (**Loop**)

How to back up 'new files only' to external hard drive?

not sure i'm doing this the best way.... any suggestions would be great!
i have my master photo/video library on my desktop (using a file tree that i've grown & know exactly where things are since 2003- (pre mac).
that file is on mac + saved to an external hard drive. i back this up to my external often, BUT I'm not sure if i'm doing it the best way.
i add photos, change the master file name w/ current 'added to' date, then drag or copy to the external hard drive and it copies/writes. then i go and delete 'older file date' to keep space on external. i've tried to copy using the w/o changing the file name, but then i have 2 copies of same file name on back up and i have to browse to see which one has the new photos?! is there a way to add only the 'new' photos/files to the external instead of doing a complete copy, then i can go and update the file name w/ a current date? concerned that my method of add new master file/ delete old master file will create eventual problems on the external?

The auto-backup is the database only, not the media.
To back up the whole Library totally, first make sure to Consolidate it, then simply drag-and-drop it on to the backup drive, that simple.
The KB article referenced by Karsten suggests one additional step: make sure your copy of the library is not at the root level of the drive to which you are copying it. I have not clue why this might be important.
Herewith:
Back up your Project Library and events using the Finder
To create a single backup copy of your Project Library and events, you can copy the Final Cut Projects folder and Final Cut Events folder to an external storage device.
If you are backing up incrementally, create a folder structure that helps you easily navigate through your backup folders. You could label the folders with the date you made the backup copy, for example.
Important: To avoid issues, it’s essential that you place the backup files in a folder (named “2012 Final Cut Pro Backups,” for example) that is not at the root level of your external storage device.
In the Finder, locate and select your Final Cut Projects folder and Final Cut Events folder.Your Movies folder is the default location for all project and event files:/Users/username/Movies/ Important: If you moved a project or event after you created it, it will not be in the default location.
Drag the Final Cut Projects and Final Cut Events folders to the external storage device.
The folders are copied to your external storage device.

Copy 21 files, only Paste 20. Help

Hi, I just got a new Macbook Air 13'', I am new to mac OS so I don’t know what is going on. I tried to copy the pictures I downloaded from my SD card to my mac, and then to a pen drive, but it won’t copy all the files. I can view all the photos in my mac, so I know they are not corrupted or broken, but even though it selects all of them, I won’t paste all of them, does anyone know what’s going on? What am I doing wrong here?
Here is a print screen of what is happening.

I found this and it worked perfectly!

Elements 6 Organiser will not open, only Editor

I have trouble opening the Organiser of Photoshop Elements 6. I had the program open earlier, while loading pictures from a memory card, and it behaved and closed normally.
Now when I click on the Photoshop icon, it won't open at all. I have tried various ways, and if I Explorer to choose a photograph and "Open With", it only gives me the option of Photoshop Elements (Editor). Nothing happens when I click on the Organiser icon inside the Editor.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
Just do one thing, close all the procese running in the background for Elements
Then launch from the explorer :
-- if its launches on the first screen , then drag theat window the second screen and maximize that scrren , as u maximize it may dissappear, then close all the processes again, and now try to run the organiser from shortcut, this time it should launch on the second screen
-- if its launches on the second screen , then minimize that scrren , as u minimize it may dissappear, then close all the processes again, and now try to run the organiser from shortcut, this time it should launch on the first screen screen, and then u may drag that again to second screen and repeat the first step as mentioned above
This should work, i have tested it

Copying changed files only

Hello all,
I've created an Automator task which copies specific folders from one drive to another for backup purposes. Since there are many files this process is running too long. Is there a way to copy only files which have been added or changed since last backup?
Thanks
Klaus

If you're not going to use the drive on a Windows machine, you should use Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities folder) to erase the drive and format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition (default):
Good luck,

Copy New Files to different locations

Hello, I'd like duplicates of directories on computer a and computer b. And then I also want computer b to send backups of my files to a portable hard drive (change and modified files)
Computer A + B Structors and Files Same
Portable Hard Drive - New / Modified Songs
Thanks - MSG43

I'm not sure how you would do it, but this might be an interesting application of a version control system. You could have an svn repository on the portable drive somehow, and have the computers use svn commit to write updates to the drives....
Guess that wouldn't work because you'd have to use svn update to sync back from the drive to the computers if you change something on one of the computers..... hmmm.....
ok, maybe darcs would work, because its a distributed version control system.... would allow you to sync a repo between the two computers and also to sync to the hard drive. Yeah, I like this idea....
ok, enough thinking out loud on my behalf.

Photoshop Elements 11 - wont export new files

All of a sudden I get a message 'Unable to Export to Device' - 'please make sure you have the permissions to write to this device'. After which the dialogue box closes.
it doesn't make sense - I simply want to export these files to my hard drive. It will let me write to the root folder but not any subfolders.
I am running Windows 8.1
can you please advise?
many thanks,
James A

It's a windows file having to do with graphics rendering. There are several places to download it online but since I don't know which are legit I'm not going to link to any.

Photoshop Elements V12.1 crashes when trying to save file. Mac OS 10.6.8 on MacBookPro. App has worked before. Cannot even save a new file with a simple change.

How to bring Photoshop Elements V12.1 back to working condition. Tried shutting down MacBookPro. Starting up. Launch Elements. Open a new file. Add text. Save file. App crashes. This is repeatable with different attempts. The app is useless at this point. Any ideas?

Well, FWIW, PSE 12 isn't supposed to be compatible with 10.6, although the editor does work for most people.
Go to the editor's preferences>general, click this button and restart the editor:
