Exported Files(pictures) not Added to Library

Hello,
I installed Lightroom 4.4 recently. I have been using 2.x for years.
I exported a number of jpg files into a JPG subfolder. These jpgs were generated from cr2 files. The "add to catalog" option was selected. My problem is that not only the exported files/pictures were not added to the catalog but that I cannot add them manually (by syncing the upper-level folder).
I used to do it like this for years and it worked.
Any comments, ideas?
Thank you!

Hello,
Have you found where the files are being exported to?
Are they in the correct place? (IE. where ou expected)
Are you certain the first option of the export dialog was Export to: Same folder as original - and not - Specific Folder before electing a Subfolder of JPG?
Yes to all of the above. The new (exported) files are where I want them to be, i.e., in the same subfolder as the CR2 files. The CR2 files are in one sub-folder named CR2 and the JPG files are in the JPG subfolder named JPG of the same containing folder. I can see/browse/display the exported files in explorer. The export worked as expected and placed the newly generated jpg files in the right place. The only thing that did not work as I would expect it to was that the newly generated files (and folder) were not added to the library. If I remember well this is how my Lightroom 2 was behaving as well. This is not a big deal, or WAS not a big deal as in LT2 I would then synchronize the folder and bring all the exported files into the library.
My current problem is that syncing does not work as it used to; it does not list the JPG folder(s) (or any of the exported jpg files in these folders) as part of what to sync. The folders are physically there but they are not selectable or visible as part of the sync, as if they were already in the library (they are not) or as if they were deliberatly ommitted for some reason...
Do you have any filters active in Lightroom that would hide the jpgs?
I did not turn on any filters on. Where are the filters so that I could check if something is not on by default?
Thanks!

How can I export aperture pictures to a new library?

How can I export aperture pictures to a new library? I wan to create a new aperture library at an exernal drive so that I can reduce the size of the current library in the internal drive. Thank you for letting me know.

"File➞Export➞ ... as new Library " will create a new Library from the selection.
The preferred method for making the Library on your system drive smaller is to change some of the Image's Originals from Managed (= stored inside the Library) to Referenced (= stored outside the Library, often on external drives). There are so many advantages to this that it can be recommended without question. Unless you have specific reasons for splitting your Library into two Libraries (security concerns are one of the very few reasons), you should keep your Library on your system drive with some Image's Originals Managed, and the rest Referenced to an external drive.
Read up about these options in the User Manual (scroll down).

Export file is not a valid HTMLDB export file

Hi All,
I have a serious problem today when i want to import the exported application file to another workspace in other machine.Both workspace have same name & same schema in which application resides.I got the messages "export file is not a valid HTMLDB export file" .I have search thru the forum and have got several possibly solution.But i want to know what should be done to successfully build the application.Even after exporting file from different workspace and diff name from diff machine still i got the same error message.
Any Ideas ?
Thanks in advance ,
Cheers,
Eman

I export an application resides in workspace HTMLDB_W in APP_OWN schema in database A version 9.2.0.1 and import that application to HTMLDB_W1 in APP_OWN schema
in database B version 9.2.0.5.Both database have HTMLDB version 1.6.1.02.when importing file the files are successfully imported but after click on Install the "Application Install"
region appears.Here the information shows below.....
Logged Into Workspace: HTMLDB_W1
Export File WorkspaceID:
Export File Application:
Export File Version:
Export File Parse As Schema:
Application Origin: This application was exported from another workspace.
Parse As Schema :APP_OWN
i select Run & build application then reuse my application ID .
There is no other application in the same schema & workspace of same application ID.Also when export the file the Character set is Unicode -UTF & while importing i choose the same character set in DOS format.I change the options later but nothing helps me......
I think since the export file version & workspace id cant detectable so the application fails with following error message ::
1 error has occurred
File is not a valid HTML DB application export file.
Previously i use the same workspace later i changed the workspace so now the export & import workspace is different & import workspace ID: 658006861199719
export file workspace ID : 689311213291671
If need more information please revert back to me.

MP4 Movie Files are not added to Itunes Library

I have a Macbook Pro I just recently got a week ago, and I have been using Itunes in Mac OS X, but when I tried to add some of my MP4 movies into Itunes on Mac OS, the files do not appear in the library and there is not copy bar for copying the files into the Itunes folder. I have had this problem ever since I started using Ituens on Mac OS and I tried reinstalling Itunes and the same problem comes up. I know the problem is not with the MP4 files because I added the files into Itunes on Windows XP on my other computer and they are added just fine. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I think I figured out why the MP4 files were not being added into the Itunes Library, it is because Mac OS X apparently cannot copy files onto a Windows Formatted external harddrive, even though I thought I could.

Media Files do not appear in Library

Hi,
I am running essentials 2012 r2. I installed the media streaming pack. From the server console, and via windows explorer, I copied music, videos,and pictures into the applicable "\serverfolders\" sub-folder (created by windows during
the media streaming pack install). In the dashboard settings - media tab, I confirmed that those specific folders were set as "Yes" for streaming.
However, irrespective of the device I use on the network, the media files are not available to stream. This includes from windows media player in windows 8.1 machines, where the my essentials 2012 library shows up, but clicking on the library results
in a response of "no files".
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,
Based on your description, I understand that you can find this Digital Media Server (Windows Server 2012 R2
Essentials with Media Pack installed) under Network on client computers. However, you can’t find any music, videos or pictures file via Media Player. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Please open Dashboard, navigate to STORAGE tab and select Server Folders. Under Server Folders, please open
Music folder, Videos folder and Pictures folder, then check if those files which you copied exist in those correct folders.
In addition, did you enable RWA (Remote Web Access) on the server? If enabled, please logon RWA and check if
those music, videos or pictures under Media Library in RWA webpage.
If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Ovi Player / Ovi Suite Music not added to library

Ok more weird Ovi annoyances:
Ovi Music / Player does not add certain songs from my iTunes folders (all Non DRM m4a files) to its library, neither automatically nor does it let me add them manually.
However, if transferred to the handset (N97) manually they will play fine. They also play fine when opened via File|Open in Ovi Suite or Player.
I first noticed it with
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Israel Kamakawiwo'ole\Over the Rainbow - Single\ Over The Rainbow.m4a
Which I cannot add to the library in any way.
Ok, I thought, Ovi trips up on special characters, but
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\The Von Bondies\Pawn Shoppe Heart\C'mon C'mon.m4a
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\The Men They Couldn't Hang\How Green is the Valley\The Ghosts of Cable Street.m4a
are both added just fine, while
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\The Von Bondies\Pawn Shoppe Heart\Not That Social.m4a
can again, not be added in any way.
Al right then, has to be that Ovi trips up over legal Windows path names that are too long for Ovi.
But
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Neon Trees\Animal-Single\Aniimal.m4a
can again not be added in any way while
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Orchestral Manoeuvres In the Dark\Messages - Greatest Hits\1-03 Enola Gay (2003 Remaster).m4a
is added just fine.
Sometimes when trying to add an album, only certain titles are not added, while the rest of the album is.
There seems to be no pattern whatsoever to this behavior, since it's not path lengths or special characters tha keep songs from bein added, it's also nit file type related as there some MP3s i can't add as well.
Note that M$ Media Player 11 has no issues adding the same bits to its own library.
I run Win 7 Pro 32.
Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

It's getting weirder and weirder
E:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Heinz Rudolf Kunze\Die Gunst der Stunde
was successfully imported including the first track
E:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Heinz Rudolf Kunze\Die Gunst der Stunde\01 Hunderttausend Rosen.m4a
on another PC.
So the failures seem completely random, which would not be so tragic if you got a second chance, which you don't.
I'd still like to know what I need to delete to get rid of the entire music library. I just need OVI-Music / Suite to get some of my music to my phone and this should not be so tedious!
Ovi Suite seems to sotre stuff all over the place and you don't really know what's what, which makes fixing problems very frustrating.
iTunes keeps its stuff transparently in the same place, but then again I never had any such weird problems with it in the past 5 years.

ITunes 9.2 not Adding to Library content downloaded from eMusic or Amazon

I have content that I've downloaded from eMusic and Amazon through their respective downloaders. Both downloaders are set to add the content to my iTunes library, but after dwonload, nothing shows up in iTunes. Trying to add the content via File-Add to Library doesn't work either. Indeed, I can't even add content that I downloaded long ago. (Just bought a new MBP and trying to get things up to speed.) Anyone else having this problem? What's the fix?

Thanks for the help by the way. I think something is very wrong with my copy of iTunes 9.2. I've discovered other issues: I downloaded the free song from the iTunes store. It shows up in the "Purchased" folder, but not in the Library "Music" folder. Also, iTunes doesn't see anything on my iPod Touch. I was able to drag eMusic and Amazon items from playlists to my Touch as well as stuff currently showing in my Library. Everything shows up where it should on the Touch when I access it through the Touch, but nothing shows up when accessing it through iTunes on my computer. Very weird...and bad. I think I'll try a reinstall of iTunes and see if that has any effect.

MP3 files do not appear in Library

I am having a problem with windows media player. I am running Windows 7 and media player 12. I have wav recordings of Swing Shift which I have converted to mp3 files and then used a tag editor to fill in the Artist and Album fields. I included
the folder for the media player to add them to my media library and the first time I started the player they all appeared. When I closed the media player and restarted they were gone. I thought the database had gotten corrupted so I stopped the
WMPservice and deleted the data file and then restarted the WMPservice, started the media player and all of the files showed up again. I stopped the media player and restarted the player and the files were gone.
These files do show in the library on my Windows XP machine running WMP 11.

Open the Windows Media Player Library troubleshooter by clicking the
Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type
troubleshooter, and then click Troubleshooting. Click
View all, and then click Windows Media Player Library.
This problem can also occur when the Windows Media Player library database get corrupt.
To resolve this problem, clear the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Exit Windows Media Player.
b. Click Start, click Run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
c. Select all the files in the folder, and then click Delete on the File menu.
Note You do not have to delete the folders that are in this folder.
d. Restart Windows Media Player.
Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
If this does not resolve the problem, clear the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Exit Windows Media Player.
b. Click Start, click Run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.
c. Select the Media Player folder, and then click Delete on the File menu.
d. Restart Windows Media Player.
If the above doesn't help then try to
reset WMP12.
You may need to create a User Account with Administrative privileges and recheck the issue.

It has been a long time that I have seen 9i on windows, but if recall that right, you must additionally give the OS user the right "logon as batch job".

Error on import - no new files can be added to library

Here is the error I get ...
"Some recent changes may be lost. Make sure your hard disk has enough space and that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library folder."
I have plenty of space on the hard drive and I am logged in as the root user. I have not mucked with the files in the Finder. I can, however, see all the folders and files in the iPhoto Library folder.
Any ideas?

rsauerbrun
try Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:
http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/BatChmod.png
(Credit to Old Toad for this one).
Note the two check boxes on the bottom of the window: to unlock file and to apply to enclosed files and folders.
However, I'm curious as to why this is happening at all. Again, how big is your HD and how much free space has it. Further, are you having problems with other apps?

Backed up iPhone apps not adding to library.

Recently moved my iTunes content to a network drive to free up space on my HD, now my iTunes apps will not sync to iTunes, error message 'The app ** could not be added to the iTunes library because an error occurred. An unknown error occurred (-50)'. I've done a quick google search and the results I am getting back are suggesting problems with .ipa files. Mine are .ipa files but all were purchased directly from the app store and my phone is not jailbroken. Anyone have any idea what's going on? When I moved my content and tidied up my file organisation, I deleted all my library preferences, files etc.. to effectively start again, seems like that wasn't the best of ideas lol! Any help would be much appreciated! I am using Mac OSX latest. Thanks :0)

How do I open a directory of music files (wav) without adding to library?

In Windows Media Player I can go to a directory and open the whole folder and play it without adding it to the library. Can this be done in iTunes?
I record my LPs at 96K, 24bit and just want to play them back. If I add them, since the id3 tag information is not there, I cannot easily find them and cannot sort them since they are not labeled.

Try unchecking the option to add to library when played.
If that doesn't work then you could add the tag info.

Picture not saved in library

Hi, my new iphone make the pictures but when i want see them in library the pictures are totally black.
i bought the iphone with a lot of programs already installed from the shop.
Do you reccomend to reboot the iphone or there is an application that i can download?

You have to use a build in program from your computer to view the pictures. There are default programs in Windows to use with any digital camera. Sync your photos to your picture folder on your computer and double click on them to open.

Export File does not have audio

Hi,
I am want to export my project from Premier Pro CS3 into a DVD format.
To do this, i chose File->Export->AMD and choose 'MPEG-II DVD' in the format settings. Audio and Video are both checked.
Once the export completes, it splits the audio and video into 2 files. How do i combine them together and write a DVD for general distribution?
Why does Premier Pro split the files?
Thanks,
Anand
