Folders of picture scans won't copy

I have several folders of pictures, scans of slides, when I try to move the folder to copy to anothr hard drive it just freezes. I tried disk utility, disk warrior, techpro all of these say the folder and items are fine. They open fine but won't copy. Why? Can I force this issue? How?

James:
Download and run BatChmod on the folder containing the files with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Then see if you can move them. Disk Utility primarily repairs permissions on applications and system files.
Another test would be to boot into Safe Mode and then see if you can move the files. If you can then there's something that's getting loaded when you boot normally that's the culprit.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

HP Officejet 4620 won't copy or scan but will print

My HP Officejet 4620 all in one printer won't copy or scan, but it will print. When trying to scan, my computer first shows a window "preparing to scan" then it changes to a window "scanner unreachable". When trying to copy the printer indicates "now copying page 1/1" but it never produces a copy. The light never goes across the flat glass, photographing the image to be scanned or copied.

Hello @Alan_Mc,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand when you scan a document it states scanner unreachable and you cannot copy a document either. I will do my best to assist you! I would recommend following this entire HP document on A 'Scanner Unreachable' or 'An error occurred while scanning' Message Displays when Scanning on the ....
Since you cannot copy a document either, there might be something wrong with the scanner glass. Also, the light doesn't appear. If so, then follow this entire HP document on A 'Scanner Failure' Message Displays on the All-in-One Control Panel and You Cannot Scan, Copy, or F...
I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

New HP office jet 5745 won't copy or scan from glass

Brand new officejet 5745 won't copy or scan anything from the glass. I insert paper, choose copy and the document feeder from above runs, lightbar doesn't move and it produces a blank page. When trying to scan from computer, I get an error message to insert document into document feeder. Help.
thanks.
This question was solved.

Hello cdnmaggies,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that the Officejet 5745 will only attempt to scan or copy from the ADF. There could be some packing material or tape triggering the sensor in the ADF. Open the ADF and look for anything that got missed.
If it is clear, load a plain piece of paper into the ADf and tell it to copy. When the paper is fed through and done copying, ensure that there is not message on the screen that an original is loaded. If this is displayed, remove the power from the back of the printer to reset the memory.
Ensure the printer is connected to a wall outlet directly and then connect the power back to the printer. If the there is no message, try copying from the glass.

Moving folders or pictures to trash

I am a first time user of Lightroom 2.1 (Mac). Right now to remove the folders or pictures to trash I manually drag the icons to trash. Then in the Library Panel I highlight the affected grayed out folders or pictures and use the contextual manual and select the Remove command. Is there an easier way to do this because if I used the Remove command only without actually moving the affected files to Trash they would still be on my hard drive.
Also to import new folders and pictures into Lightroom I first actually copy them to my Lightroom catalog folder. Then I click on the Import button in the Library Panel and browse and select the just copied files. Is this the right way to make certain that the pictures actually get moved to the LR catalog folder?
Thanks.
David

David-
Try this: select a photo you want to delete, hit the Delete key, then note the dialog. You need to be in Folder view, however, not collections.
Your method for Importing is fine, but there are many other ways to achieve that.

Exporting Folders/Albums/Pictures Structure

I recently downloaded iPhoto Buddy to help me organize my 6000+ picture and 200+ video clip iPhoto Library (well over 10GB), that takes at least 2 minutes to load, and I of course have a very large and fairly complicated directory structure. I need to be able to export top level folders, with all sub-folders, albums, pictures and video retained from my current huge library into several smaller libraries.
I know that I could just copy all of the pictures into the different folders and then go in and delete the pics that don't belong there, but that would take forever, and unless there is no other way I don't want to have to do that.

<table><tr><td align=left bgcolor="#FFFFCC">I know that I could just copy all of the pictures into the different folders and then go in and delete the pics that don't belong there, but that would take forever, and unless there is no other way I don't want to have to do that.</td></tr></table>
Is the following what you don't want to do?
1 - make a duplicate of your current iPhoto library and name the folder with an appropriate descriptive name.
2 - use iPhoto Buddy to launch it as a new library and delete those items in it that you don't want.
3 - repeat for other sub-libraries with a specific content.
(Wasn't sure if this was the same as what you described)
Another possible solution would be to obtain iPhoto Library Manager and using it create a new, empty library and then copy selected albums, rolls, etc. from the old library to the new one. It will preserve keyword, comments, etc. You'll need to purchase the full version to get those capabilities.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

How do I get Automator to resize folders of pictures

I would like take different folders of pictures and create a new folder somewhere else with copies of the pictures resized. I don't want to have to go into each folder and drop the images in. I have a large number of folders and I want to keep the folder names and structure.
- Thanks, K

Can you copy the Folders with the Photo's to the Folder location that you want the copies first?
If so, then just use this workflow:

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand. I also cannot attach any of these pics into an e-mail or into any other file. I have already went through all 3 Repair options and when that did not solve it went through a complete Rebuild. Any Help?! Any Suggestions on how to fix this?! I have spent almost 2 days now going through all of the published help.
I have backups going back 6 months - I have not had the real need to check every album before - but - all of my backups also have this same problem.

The triangle with the ! indicates that the connection between the thumbnail and the orginal is missing - this can be caused by many things including database corruption and user action emoving the originals photos on urpose or by accident
If the database is corrupted then rebuilding is the solution - backup and depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database -- if the iPhoto rebuild does not cure the problem then download iPhoto Library manager and use its rebuild command which creates a totally new library leaving the existing one untouched
If you have deleted the photos then you need to start over with a new library and import the photos you have not deleted into it
You can select one of the problem photos and use the reveal original in finder commander (file menu) to see if the original is there - if it is a finder window will open showing it

Itunes won't copy over some of my podcasts and purchases since I have moved it to an external hardrive

So I Have moved over all my purchases and everything to an external hardrive. I did everything right and my itunes story works perfectly fine. However one of my podcasts (yugioh the abridged series) won't copy over along to the ipod saying its file type is not supported by the ipod. It only does this with the first 8 episodes (if you find it you will see them) one of which (the bbt movie) worked perfectly fine on my ipod before but now for some reason it won't. It also won't work on a few of the tv shows that are in hd and one music album that had american boy in it. I'm wondering what I can do to solve this problem. My itunes and my computer (windows vista operating system) is up to date and I have an ipod classic with plenty of room what should I do.

This doesn't work. The iOS4 upgrade has wiped out synchronization to Outlook to the phone and back. There are many threads on this here, and Apple has yet to address this issue.

Cannot scan, fax, or copy from HP Officejet 6500 All-in-One E709a

I can print from my HP Officejet 6500 All-in-One E709a, but I cannot scan, copy, or fax. All drivers and updates are current; no recent updates were made prior to the problems occurring. I use Windows 7 64-bit. When the printer is turned on, it always shows Original Loaded, but no documents are in the feeder or on the glass (I have already cleaned the glass and have ensured that the cover sits tightly). I am having problems scanning, copying, and faxing. The automatic document feeder is functioning. I have tried to reset the printer several times.
When I try to Scan a document in the document feeder (it does feed through) or from the glass, I get variable responses – rarely, it appropriately asks how I want to save/handle the doc (e.g., save as pdf), but the document does not actually scan and I am directed to Reload the document OR it displays No Scan Options. The document does not show in My Scans.
When I try to Copy, it shows the document as copying, but there is a long delay before the progress bar occurs. When I copy using the document feeder, I actually get a copy (rarely and always faded-looking) or the copy prints out blank—both results are always followed by an error message to Reload the document. When copying from the glass, the copy prints out blank with an error message to Reload the document
The same problems occur when trying to Fax. Whether trying to scan, copy, or fax, the printer is making a lot of sounds of gears whirring.
Again, I can print a document from my PC without any problems – the problem is limited to scanning, faxing, and copying.
I have tried the HP Print & Scan Doctor. It always stops at the HP Twain Scan step, saying the Scan process was cancelled by the user (not true). When I click on Continue, it proceeds down to the Test Scan step, but nothing happens when I click on the Test Scan button. It will only allow me to Skip at that point. All of the other steps show green checks.
This question was solved.

My first question is really going to get to the core of the issue, I heard you say that the printer makes sounds, but if you lift the lid does the bar A) travel across the screen and B) light up?
Additionally, perform both of these resets and let me know how they go!

Track names won't copy and can't be found

I burned an album (fleetwood mac) from my old laptop to a disk - all tracks are correctly named. I copy the disk to my new laptop with itunes and my new itouch but the track names won't copy and when I search for them they are not found on itunes. so instead of song titles, I have track 1, track 2, etc on my new laptop even though the cd I burned has the song names. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
don

Couple ways to do it.
Best way is burn a Data disc. All the info i part of the song file itself and will transfer when you copy the file.
Another way is after you burn the CD in your old computer, select the CD then go to menu Advanced -> *Submit CD track names*.
This will send the info to Gracenote and when you insert the CD on a different computer, iTunes will look it up and put in the correct info.

Win XP Won't install, won't copy system files

I'm putting together an A64 system w/ a WD 36gb raptor on sata1.
I've done all of the things posted on this board (changed bios settings, used the floppies to install the sata drivers during windows setup). Everything is fine up until the xp setup is copying the setup files from the cd. It stops at every other file and says that it can't copy that file. Sometimes I can press enter and it will copy it on the second try but it always stops partway through and won't copy any more files. I've tried 2 different windows xp pro cds, and i know my cd rom drive doesn't have problems reading the files. This has only happened when I swapped out my WD 250gb ata drive for the sata raptor.
My power supplies (came with chieftec case from newegg) settings are as follows (as I've heard this may be a problem):
+3.3V = 22.0a, +5v = 36.0a, +12 = 18a
I'd love any suggestions. I've already flashed the bios to 1.2 and it doesn't seem to help. Thanks.

I've taken one stick of ram out (it occured to me to do this just after i posted!), and it seems to be installing. I am still getting the "cannot copy file" errors, but if i have it retry a couple of times, it will usually go through. After that though, it still gives me "fatal errors" because it didn't copy all of the setup info onto the hd.
I was hesitant to put the system specs in my sig because i'm buidling this for someone else, but here they are:
A64 3200+
512 (1 stick) corsair twinx 3200LLPT DDR
WD 36gb raptor - connected to sata 1
plextor dd rom drive
floppy drive
and 2 case fans and the cpu heatsink/fan
Do you guys think that the power supply is the root of the problem as I've heard suggested? I thought this Chieftec rated at 450W would be enough. I will try and pick up a case with an Antec 380w PSU and try it out. I know that it's not a problem with the cd because i've used it to install on the same system, except it was on a WD 250gb ATA drive. Everything went fine on that installation. I've only been having this problem when trying to install on the raptor through sata.

Hi,
The software provided for your device does not include OCR functionality
You may use any 3rd part OCR solution to scan as editable text.
If you have Microsoft Office suite there is a good chance the office suite provide this kind of capabilities:
