FILE IMPORT OPTION NOT WORKING?

Help!
I have turned off the 'Copy Files To iPhoto Library When Adding To Library' option in the 'Advanced' menu .. yet I have noticed that it still seems to be importing actual files rather than just aliases.
I'm running out of disk space!
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

So, what you are saying is that I should properly import all of my photo library from the old folders on my external drive into the iPhoto library and then delete the originals?<<<</div>
Yes. However, first reset that option appropriately just in case it decides to begin functioning as that would really screw you up. Also confirm that the import functioned properly before you delete the originals.
By the way, are you aware that you can put the library anywhere that you wish? You might be better off moving it to the external drive. Use the finder to copy (drag) the library folder IN ITS ENTIRETY to the external drive. Do not open it up and play with the innards. Then, hold down the Option (Alt) key while opening iPhoto and direct it to the new location. AFTER confirming that all is OK, you can delete the library folder from the original location.
You can then go further and break up the library into several libraries. The ONE thing that you can change with the finder is the name of the library and you'd need to do that so that you can choose which library you want to access. In any event, with several libraries, you would use the Option/Alt key whenever you want to access a different library from previous.

Import option not working - please help

Hi
I have MacBook Pro Retina 15 inch Early 2013. I use Motion (latest update 5.1.2) to convert my photo sequences to video files (time lapse). After importing first sequence I can export it with no problem. When I try to use Import option again nothing happens. I can see the cursor disappearing for a millisecond but import window is not showing at all and nothing happens. I have to restart Motion to import another file/photo sequence. Very frustrating and makes working in Motion impossible.
I noticed that this started to happen after I changed screen resolution so DaVinci Resolve could fit on the screen. I had it changed for one day and then went back to Default for Display option.
Please help anyone.
Regards
Marcin

The problem I described was that the import window was not showing at all after hitting import option (either from menu or by shortcut).
For anyone in the future - I deleted Motion completely from my system and installed it again. Worked out for me.

I have iMovie '11, and I am unable to access mpeg HD video files that I want to edit. The files are fine (I can open and watch them using VLC), but I cannot seem to import the files into iMovie. File Import does not work. Any suggestions??

More detail: I have a bunch of mpeg HD video files that were shot on a SONY HDR-HC3 Handycam camcorder. I would like to edit these into a single video production. I can access and view the mpeg files using VLC (Quicktime does not work with them). However, I seem to be unable to get the mpeg files to interface with iMovie '11 -- I cannot use the File --> Import command, nor can I drag-and-drop them into iMovie.
Is there something anyone might suggest to get this to work? Or are these files incompatible with iMovie? If so, I assume I must purchase a different video editing software program (e.g. Adobe Premeir Pro). Suggestions???
Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration

Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each.
    To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation? Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet.
    Thanks

ESX 24 Rex file import fuction not working

I am trying import a rex file into the esx 24. I open the sampler then I hit edit and then go to instument and then say recycle convert and now all the options are greyed out, so now I cant select an option. What can I do to make these options selectable? Please help?
Thanks

This happens when you update to 7.2.1.
After updating to 7.2.1 you need to go to
http://www.propellerheads.se/ and download the demo of
Reason 3.0.5 and install it. Doing this will put a
needed library on your computer that will allow Logic
7.2.1 to work with Rex files again. I know this sounds
quirky and it is but it works. I don't know why Apple
hasn't made note of this.
All the best,
Chris

I want to import bookmarks from Safari on the Mac same computer. Firefox help says Menu Bar/File/Import. My Firefox does not have File/Import option. How do I import bookmarks from Safari to Firefox?

How do I import bookmarks from Safari to Firefox?

Import and Backup is the third (last) button on the toolbar in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) that looks like a star.<br />
Other platforms show the text label, but on Mac you only see toolbar icons.

I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

cor-el,
Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

Hello there Karen,
It sounds like you are having to power cycle your modem to get internet back every single day. We can start by troubleshooting your Airport Express to help isolate the issue. I would first perform a Soft Reset, then test the issue again. If needed as a last resort I would then perform a Hard Reset:
Soft reset
Connect the device to power and wait for it to complete its start up process. To learn more about the start up process, please see All about Wi-Fi base station Status Lights (LED).
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip for 1 full second, then release it. The light (LED) will begin flashing amber, indicating that the device is in soft reset mode.
From the AirPort menu bar item, choose the network created by the device (the network name does not change).
Open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station, then click Edit (The Edit window will indicate that the base station is in Soft Reset mode).
Move through the tabs to make changes to your passwords or other settings as needed, and click Update and Continue as required
Quit AirPort Utility.
Hard reset
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
Release the button and the device will reset.
Wait about a minute for the base station to finish restarting, then open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station from Other Wi-Fi Devices, then click Edit.
Select the Other Options button.
Select "Restore previous settings" and click Next until you get to the final window.
AirPort Utility will indicate that Setup is complete. Click Done.
Quit AirPort Utility.

Audio CD import is not working the cd is ejected before itunes can read it

Does this happen with all cd's or one in particular?

Try a cleaning disc. You can get them at places like Radio Shack.
If nothing helps your optical drive has probably failed. You can replace it or purchase an inexpensive external drive. Don't buy the Apple SuperDrive as it won't work with macs that have a built in drive.

Hyperlink to file in JSP not working

I have a JSP page where I am providing a hyperlink to a file on the C: drive as follows
Try this
Nothing happens when I click this hyperlink.
When I scroll over the hyperlink I see the correct path "file:///C:/ReqImport/data.txt" in the status bar and when paste this path in my address bar, it does open up the file.
Any ideas why this file hyperlink does not work on this JSP page.
Thanks

Hmm, you're right, I just tried it and it doesn't appear to work. It looks like a security thing: If the original page is on my hard drive, links to other files on my hard drive work. But when the original page is on a web server, links to files on my hard drive don't appear to work.
Do you realize that such a link is referring to a file on the C: drive of the client, the user, not the C: drive of the server? I'm not sure what you're up to, but for most applications such a link is pretty much useless, as you normally have no way of knowing what files the user has on his C: drive.

Check the path you've specified. It may well be;
<%@include file="hello.jsp" %>or
<%@include file="/Includes/hello.jsp" %>

File conversion is not working

File conversion is not working.

Using online services and it simply times out. I login and upload the file

I got one file to work, but it took like 12 tries.
Very annoying and it's impossible to call and get a tech person to help.

File manager still not working w 10.7.3combo

Since installing lion (I started with 10.7.2) file manager is not working. Yes, I can force uit it and than it does but it is still very annoying and time consumin to do it 2-4 times a day. I was hoping that 10.7.3 will solv it. Than installed based on advice I received hee 10.7.3 compbo but the problem is still there.
Do you know or have you run accross a thread that explains how to solve it?
Advanced thats to anyone who can help
Ruvy

What is "file manager?" Is that a piece of third-party software, or are you referring to the Finder? If it's third-party software, you'll need to contact the developer for an update or fix. If the Finder is not working (how is it not working?), then you could try some of the tips in Understanding upgrade nightmares.
(Note that my pages contain links to other pages that promote my services, and this should not be taken as an endorsement of my services by Apple.)

Hi,
the information that is missing in your question is "what release of Oracle JDeveloper" we are talking about. If you look at the new feature list for JDeveloper 11.1.2 then you see that @import is supported in that release (previously this has been filed as bug 10066954 that is fixed in the 11.1.2 release)
