Error msg when I try to import, orig files deleted. Pls help!

moved files out-cant import them back orginal files deleted.
Helpp!!!

Okay - I made the mistake of trying to copying photos from iPhoto and paste them on my desktop to sort out. (I thought it was my photos only, didn't know it was all kinds of other stuff (okay, I once knew this but I forgot).
What happened is, because there was 10 zillion images in iPhoto (most irrelevant to me) when I pasted them on my desktop it froze it down and  desktop is filled up and unusable.
Then - becaues Mac has no move command, only copy-Paste, I thought I'd delete the originals and move the stuff from my desktop back to iPhoto.
Well, that didn't work. Got 2 error messages (iPhoto says they are wrong format or something).
What do I do now? I am in safe mode, but cannot do searches, play movies, etc. I sent my other files to a 2nd computer to back them up, but I don't know what to do next!!!

  • I am getting the following error message when I try to import photos into iPhoto from my camera: "/private/var/folders/GB/GBl4wh8-ELqUVMI5dO-ryU   TI/-Tmp-/iPhoto/DSCF2033.JPG".  Have already tried removing and reinstalling iPhoto to no avail.

    I am getting the following error message when I try to import photos into iPhoto from my camera: "/private/var/folders/GB/GBl4wh8-ELqUVMI5dO-ryU   TI/-Tmp-/iPhoto/DSCF2033.JPG".  Have already tried removing and reinstalling iPhoto to no avail.

    Does this happen if you try to Import to Library within iPhoto, or is it when you connect your camera (and which is set to automatically use iPhoto) that this error message occurs?
    If you open Image Capture > Preferences is iPhoto selected as the choice when a camera is connected?

  • Having this error message:  [../../../../MediaFoundation/API/Inc/MFBinaryData.h-62]    This error message happens when i try to import several files at a time.

    As i said Premiere pro is crashing on me and I am having this error message:   [../../../../MediaFoundation/API/Inc/MFBinaryData.h-62]   
    It happens when I try to import a file full of videos in premiere pro.. certain files import others do not. The ones that do not will if you import each video individually.
    In my case that would take me a week to do. Need a solution.
    Im running on a Mac with Premiere Pro CC updated. All malware is erased from computer. Why is it doing this? Premiere pro has been crashing a lot lately on me. Super frustrating!
    Somewhere i heard I should verify disk permission and repair them..? I did that and its still a problem.
    Computer settings:
    OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
    Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB

    Correction: It was not the footages problem. Only after a matter of time, I was able to import the footage like normal. Seemed to be a momentary problem. Odd and rather frustrating knowing that such problems can just arise at any point in time with relatively no explanation. Oh well!

  • I just got my new mac, when i try to import music files or even import a CD, it says "Error, a file was specified instead of a folder". What do I do

    I just got my new mac, when i try to import music files or even import a CD, it says "Error, a file was specified instead of a folder". What do I do, It is very frustrating i have all my music from my old PC and a bunch of CD's i cannot import.

    I haven't encountered this error, but let's try to figure out a solution.
    CDs. Let's tackle this.
    First, read this:
    http://www.woopid.com/video/626/iTunes-Setup-Assistant
    As soon as you insert a CD (assumng you have a drive), iTunes should immediately open and ask if you want to add this to your Library. Say "Yes." (You haven't set the quality levels yet, but we want to set up your library, first.)
    Music. If you have individual tracks you want to import, keep iTunes open, and simply drop the tracks in the "Songs" part of the Library on the left side of the screen. The tracks should be added automatically.
    If this isn't working for you, please describe the error -- or better yet, provide screenshots. I'm certain you will be able to set up your iTunes library pretty quickly.

  • 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.

    When I try to import .olm files from my external hard drive back up, where do they go? It says on different forums they go to the "on my computer" folder but they are not there.
    I go through all the instructions but then my emails do not appear. I'm starting to panic a bit!

    You might want to try asking on the MS Office Outlook forum - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoutlook - since those are Outlook files.
    Also note which method you're using to create a backup.

  • I keep getting write errors (-50) when I try to create new files or folders on my Gen 5 Airport Extreme USB disk.

    Write errors (-50) when I try to create new files or folders on my Airport Extreme USB disk. Restarting the Airport Extreme seems to solve the issue. Any idea why this occurring? It doesn't seem to be OS specific, meaning I can't write to the drive from a Windows PC or a MacBook Pro.

    Although, I would consider it rare, it is quite possible that this drive is just not 100% compatible with the AirPorts. Typically, in these cases, the AirPort will not even recognize the drive at all ... or it will, but not allow you to access it. I actually haven't come across a case where you can read but not write to a drive consistently or vice versa ... except from Windows-based computers. Sorry!

  • An unknown error appears when I try to save older files in CC 2014. If I outline the fonts, I can save.

    An unknown error appears when I try to save older files in CC 2014. I can save the file if I outline the fonts. Is anyone else having this problem?

    It also happens with my illustrator.
    Have you found a solution with Adobe Support?
    You can transform the all fonts in curves, but itll be impossible edite again. Sad. too sad.

  • When I try to import mov files into iMovie'08 (7.1.4) the files are greyed out. Any suggestions?

    When I try to import mov files into iMovie '08 (7.1.4) the files are greyed out. Any suggestions?

    Hi Appleman - thanks for your guidance.
    OK RealTime Inspector: Dimensions of my clips - as I don't know which bit this is I will list everything under Inspector, including Format:
    00117
    00117
    33.30
    Format:MPEG-4 Video, 1280 x 720 millions
    AAC, 2channels, 44100Hz
    FPS29.97
    Data Size2.57GB
    Data Rate 10.20 Mbits/s
    Current size 1280 x 720 pixels (Actual)
    And re the types of tracks you mention that iMovie '08 can't import, I don't much about film clips so haven't yet made sense of this, tho I do see that the clips are organised into chapters, so presumably this is 'chapter tracks'?
    Thanks - I'll await your further instructions :-)

  • HT4991 When I try to import word files from email it says importing then few seconds later shuts pages app

    When I try to import word files from email it says importing then few seconds later shuts pages app

    Peggy, thanks for the try. I think you are on to something about the multitude of sections in the sample document.
    I think the many many sections are a result of the formating to make the word document look just like the legal case book (multiple columns of text, special sections, graphical headnotes summaries etc). The doc opens just fine in Word for windows 2000, XP and 2003. Maybe I can request a NON columnar flowing word doc that will be possible to open with Pages 3.
    In the meantime, the other good options for these legal document downloads, PDF and HTML are not good options for processing the files with Pages. I sure hope the interoperability of Pages 3 is enhanced soon. I would rather not buy the Office 2008 for the Mac if I could stick with Apple's products.
    By the way, do you know...... is there a business, marketing, or technical reason (maybe all 3)) why Text Editor seems to have greater capabilities than Pages 3 (like HTML and similar functions)?
    Thanks, Brian

  • Can't get burned CD to be read on my laptop itunes which I'm trying to transfer music to. It just says 'track 1' for the entire CD, and can't be copied. Says unknown error -50 when I try to import. Any ideas?

    So...I'm trying to transfer my itunes music to my laptop. I set up a new itunes on my laptop and, with great difficulty (I'm not technical), I've managed to be successful with the help of my memory stick, which saves wasting CDs.
    However, for some reason a few tracks by a couple of artists don't seem to have transferred. So I had the idea to burn a CD and then copy that directly to my laptop.
    There doesn't seem to be any trouble burning the CD - that works fine. I just select audio CD, and done within a minute or so. But when I then put the CD in my disc drive, it doesn't work.
    It says 'track 1', with no other tracks for the entire CD. When I try to import it, it says 'unknown error -50'. I've tried tinkering with the import settings, but it makes no difference.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    I'm not that computer literate, so please make it idiot proof

    You can use the bootstrap tar.gz files that are found in the same directory as the iso on every mirror.  If you go to the download page, select the mirror of your choice, you will see a file called "archlinux-bootstrap-2013.10.01-x86_64.tar.gz" (one for i686 also).  That is what you need.
    Unpack it whereever you think is appropriate, if you have enough RAM you can use /tmp.  Then after setting up the partitions in the host (Kali/Debian, or whatever), you can arch-chroot to that unpacked directory.  There you will find all the tools necessary to install (pacman and the arch-install-scripts).
    This method has one issue though, and that is that the arch-chroot script (and maybe others) requires some pretty new versions of various things.  In particular, I think that a pretty new version of bash is required.  So I am not sure about the viability of this solution on anything debian, as their stable repos tend to be pretty conservative.  It also means that you need to have a pretty good understanding of the install process, as you will still mostly follow the beginners guide, but it will require a few changes in the procedure.
    Good luck.

  • IMovie Crashes When I Try To Import Video Files

    When I try to import a video from the desktop to iMovie, it doesn't work. It starts importing but the time remaining is nothing and the progress bar does not fill up at all. Someone please help!

    Hi
    iMovie is very picky in what Video-Codecs it can work with.
    What Codec's Your movies in ?
    .mov, .wmv, .mp4 etc are NO CODEC's - but just sort of Container's. Open the video file with QuickTime-player then open Inspector [cmd+I] and read
    Video format (Codec) : nnnnnnnnnn
    frame rate : yyyyyyyyyy
    What does they say ?
