Help with photos that can't be imported

Hello all,
Every time I open iPhoto there is a message saying new photos have been found and asking if I want to import them to the library. I click "yes" and the same message is shown again.
After that, I get a message saying the photos have been added to the folder Recovered_Photos_NN.
The problem is that the folder is empty and that no photos are added to any library. I already have up to Recovered_Photos_25 folder with no photos in it and every time I open iPhoto a new folder will be created.
I think this happened for the first time once I connected my iPad 1 to the iMac.
I have never been able to identify what 24 photos they're talking about. It's always 24 photos.
Can anyone help me to find what's going on?
Thanks,

- quit iPhoto and all other open applications
- in the top menu bar, select "go", then home.  Open you pictures folder.  Hold down your "control" key on your keyboard, and click on your iPhoto Library.  Select show package content. 
- locate and drag to trash, the following:
- the "auto import" folder and the "import” folder
- launch iPhoto

  • IPhoto worked great; with Photo I can no longer import pictures from my camera.  Why?

    I never had a single problem importing photos using a USB connection between camera and iMac.  Since the new Photos was automatically installed with the latest OS Yosemite update, I no longer can import photos...the screen automatically opens, it shows all the photos on my camera, it allows me to choose which photo(s) I want to import and then I click "Import" and I get a nasty message that my photos to be imported are NOT in the correct format.  Well, what the heck format are they supposed to be in?  I see nowhere on my camera where I can change a format...
    HELP!!!!  I need to import photos of my granddaughter's First Communion for my entire family and the photos are stuck on my camera!!

    Backup cycle - running you normally computer backup - you do have a regular backup going don't you?
    Image Capture is an application in your Applications folder exactly as I stated
    Try Image capture (in your applications folder) or a card Reader - once the photos are safely on your mac and at least one successful backup cycle has run use the camera's format command to reformat the card
    In order to import as before you have to solve the problem that you have
    In irder to solve the problem you have to read and follow directiopns
    Simply posting crazy comments and not fooling directions will not resolve your problem

    fgl_grant_year 10 period 1 = for account 7600 its $100 and $100 for period 2 you see 100 dollars again this is not to be added this is the carried over balance. which remains $100.
    so im trying to write a query that basically does the following.
    im given a period for the sake of this example lets say period 1 i get nothing else. I have to find the greates grant year grab the amount for period 14(which is the total from the previous year) and add it to the amount of the current period. in this case period 1 grnt_year 11
    so the expected outcome should be $700
    240055     240055     7240     4730     02     10     14     200
    240055     240055     7600     4730     02     10     14     100
    240055     240055     7600     4730     02     11     1     400keep in mind that im not given a year just a period.

    the current period +(current period - greatest year 00)
    hope that makes sense so in other words with the new data above. if i was querying period two of grant year 11. i would end up with $800
    because the greatest year is 11 it contains a period 0 with amount of $400 so my total should be
    period 2 amount $ 600
    period 0 amount $ 400 - period 2 amount of $600 = 200
    600+200 = $800
    if i query period 1 of grant 360055 i would just end up with 800 of grnt year 10.
    i have tried to modify that query you supplied to me with no luck. I have tried for several day but im embarrased to say i just can get it to do what im trying to do .
    can you please help me out.

  • Every time I open iPhoto a window opens telling me that there are 3 photos that have not been imported. Recovered folders are opened with no photos and I cannot find which photos have not been imported. Help please!

    Every time I open iPhoto a window opens telling me that there are 3 photos that have not been imported. This happens twice. When I answer yes then nothing happens and if I answer no then a recovered folder is opened with no photos in it. These recoverable folders keep opening with no photos in them. I cannot find which photos have not been imported. Can anyone assist please?

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

  • Lightroom 3 Error Working With Photos That Work With Other Apps

    My Setup:
    Lightroom 3.3 for Mac
    iMac OS X 10.6.6
    The problem:
    Lightroom is unable to work with photos it used to be able to work with. In the Library Module I get the error message "There was an error working with the photo." In the Develop Module I get the message "The file appears to be unsupported or damaged."
    Now I know the photos are ok because I can view them in other apps including Photoshop CS5
    And these photos used to work in Lightroom.
    I am suspicious it has something to do with Picasa, which I use to catalog faces. I have compared the exif data and the photos that don't work have an extra value called "Image Unique Id" and it appears to be a long hexadecimal number.  Also, the software version has been modified to indicate "Picasa".
    It bothers me that a world class product like LIghtroom is not robust enough to work on these files when everything else I have tried does work.  The problem is LIghtroom is the primary tool in my workflow.
    So has anybody seen this and know of a way to fix it?

    @Pete -
    Thanks for the feedback, but my I think my concern is valid.  Whatever Picasa is doing to the photo other apps like Apple Preview and CS5 can deal with it.  Lightroom cannot.  I am not explicitly modifying the files in Picasa just using Picasa to catalogue the faces.  So yes, I will quit using Picasa, but I still have hundreds (if not thousands) of photos that can no longer be processed by Lightroom and I need guidance on how to best recover these photos.
    I didn't know whether the Image Unique Id is standard or not, but I do know it does not show up in the files that work, only in the files that do not work.  I just assumed that it was non-standard because I did not see it on functioning files.
    Also, I would argue that Lightroom should be better able to handle this kind of situation instead of just not working.  Thanks again.

  • How to save a Photoshop PDF file with fonts that can be detected in Acrobat?

    We created a PDF file using Photoshop CS5, for the purpose of using it as a watermark on documents.  We saved this file as Photoshop PDF file, but for some reason the fonts cannot be detected when the file is opened in Adobe Acrobat.
    We need it to be recognized by Acrobat so that we can easily add the watermark to documents on a regular basis.
    Right now, Acrobat cannot detect the fonts in this file -- even though it is a basic font like Arial -- so when we add the watermark to a document, the fonts in the watermark becomes very degraded in appearance.
    Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

    I've tried several settings when saving as a PDF, to try to produce a file with fonts that can be detected by Acrobat.  I tried the presets listed in guide: Photoshop Help | Saving PDF files
    But none have worked.
    I cannot use PNG because it is not one of the formats that Acrobat allows for a watermark.  And JPG doesn't work because I need transparency.

  • Web dynpro screen with multiple rows with columns that can be edited

    Web dynpro screen with multiple rows with columns that can be edited individually:
    Hi
    I am busy creating a screen in web dynpro for ABAP which we would like to make available via Portal ESS (Portal 7).
    I need to add 'n type of table (or almost something like Excel) or something in which someone can type a few paycode numbers (there should be lets say 10 blank rows in which info can be typed in and if I click on a button or so, more rows must be added if necessary.  Then in the other colums stuff like amounts must be entered which one should also be able to edit then and there.
    Can anyone assist in what I can use for this?  There does not seem to be some existing element that I can use.
    Help will be appreciated.
    Regards
    Debbie

    Hi Debbie,
    Whiel Creating table you need to be care full that use chose INPUT FIELD as the CELL EDITOR. Just guessing that if ur table is not editable u might have choosen TextView as default cell editor type.
    check link for details on TABLE UI
    [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/EN/b5/ac884118aa1709e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
    easy way is to first add UI ELEMENT TABLE to your VIEW, then right click over it & select create binding from context. After you have a pop up where you can select what columns you want what should be its cell editor etc.
    Greetings

  • What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on PC or DVD player using MacBook Pro?

    What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on a PC or DVD player?  I'm using a MacBook Pro since that's the computer that has all the photos (in an album) and music.  Thanks.

    I would suggest that you post this to the Adobe Encore>Menus & Buttons forum. What you want to do, if I read correctly, is pretty simple. There will probalby be links available to step you though it. I'll look for this there, and start gathering some links.

  • Maximum number of photos that can be imported into an iPhoto library?

    1. Does iPhoto have a maximum number of files or photos that it can handle in a single library?
    I have a lot of photos (20GB) that have not yet been imported into an iPhoto Library. I am going to set up a new library with the iPhoto Library Manager (iPLM), but am wondering if there is a maximum number of files that can be handled in a single library?
    2. Also, I don't think I want to import these, since that would create an iPhoto library as large as the source files. Are there any problems if I set up the preferences so that this library will not have the graphics imported into it?
    3. With iPLM, can you have different sets of preferences for each library?
    Thank you for any advice or suggestions.

    1. Does iPhoto have a maximum number of files or photos that it can handle in a single library?
    Apple advertises that iPhoto will handle 250,000 photos - I doubt that anyone has come close to that (or will)
    I have 19,278 in 237 events - 22 GB - on a G5 iMac and it is snappy with no issues
    I have a lot of photos (20GB) that have not yet been imported into an iPhoto Library. I am going to set up a new library with the iPhoto Library Manager (iPLM), but am wondering if there is a maximum number of files that can be handled in a single library?
    If you want those should be fine in one library
    2. Also, I don't think I want to import these, since that would create an iPhoto library as large as the source files. Are there any problems if I set up the preferences so that this library will not have the graphics imported into it?
    It is a choice - if you do NOT import them then you will be responsible for all future management - deleting, etc. Moving to a different location or computer is much more difficult if you reference your photos instead of importing them.
    Many people import them, burn the original source photos to CD or DVD and delete them from their disk letting iPhoto manage them
    3. With iPLM, can you have different sets of preferences for each library?
    I'm not sure but I do not think so

  • How do I find all photos that can be '"reverted to original"? Help please!

    Hi. I hope that someone can help me with this!
    I am trying to go through my iPhoto Library of about 1000 photos and find all of the photos that have the option to be "reverted to original", ie. I have made changes to them. I realise that I could go through them one by one, but I am trying to avoid that!
    I have realised recently that I should duplicate a photo before changing it, so that I leave the original untouched. However this doesn't help me with all of the old ones that I DIDN'T duplicate.
    Is there an Applescript or a method of finding all of the old photos that I am looking for?
    Thanks so much in advance for any help,
    Fleur

    I don't think it can be done from within iPhoto but there's a way you can do it from outside. First download and launch QPict. Then do the following;
    1 - open your iPhoto Library folder and type Command-F.
    2 - in the search window create these two search criteria:
    a - Kind is Folder
    b - Name contains Original
    3 - In the search results window click on the size column to separate the empty folders from those with files in them.
    4 - select all of the folder that are not empty and drag into the open window of QPict.
    That will open the original files in QPict so you can view them there and compare to those in iPhoto. Just remember do not move any of those folders out of the iPhoto Library folder. Just move them into the open window of QPict.

  • My kid id just starting to explore her voice. Are there formats of music that can be simply imported to Gband that she can then add her voice over. I know its Kereokeeish, but she is 7 and wants to tinker with recording. thanks for input.

    My kid is just starting to explore her voice. I was trying to find out is there a way to import insturmental versions of songs to Gband and then allow her to sing over the music. Essentially creatig a cover of the song with her voice that can later be tweaked in the Gband program. I know this is kereokeeish, but she is 6 and im brand new at Gband and have no studio backround. Very cool program but a little overwhelming so far. Thanks for any guidance.

    search for standard MIDI files, they can simply be dropped into the GB timeline and you can then assign instruments to each track.
    as well if you find any karaoke files in any of GB's supported formats:
    http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#importformats
    (Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
    you can drop them into the timeline as well

  • Help with photos in project???!!

    Hello,
    I just bought an iMac about a month ago so that I could edit home movies and create DVD's of family vacations/events to share with my family. I have done this in the past on the PC with Pinnacle Movie Studio Software but it was buggy and more of a pain than it was worth.
    So far pretty impressed with the iMac and FCE seems like it has potential. However I keep having problems with still photos in my video.
    Here is what I have done - created a new project using the NTSC 48k template (not at my desktop now so I'm working off memory as far as naming). I captured all of my Sony Mini DV footage to the PC and dropped it into my timeline and edited it. Went smoothly. At the end of my movie I want to insert a "recap of the trip" using the still photos that I took with my digital camera and use the ken burns effect and transitions with music playing. My plan is to render and burn to DVD with iDVD for playback on a 1080p 60 inch plasma.
    My photos are jpegs saved on my hard drive. I cropped them and adjusted color, etc in CS2. I didn't do anything as far as re-sizing them etc in photo shop as this is a little new to me and I didn't want to mess them up. Do I need to resize them for FCE? Seems like the program does this? If I need to resize them what size should I make them? Remember I want to be able to zoom in by creating the burns effect.
    I have taken the photos and imported them into FCE. I drop them on the timeline and push play and everything looks great. When I start adding transitions with and applying the ken burns effect with key points the image plays fine by itself in the viewer window. However, when I watch the project play back in the canvas the stills appear very jumpy - not like a frame is missing in the render - the still literally looks like it jumps up and then settles back down. This is driving me nuts! FCE has to be able to do this smoothly. Can anyone provide me with a simple step by step on what settings I should be using for my sequences, etc to make this work. The settings really mess me up and I must be missing something.
    I do have Tom's book but I can't find anything to help me with this issue. It is driving me nuts. Thank you in adavnce!

    Thank you for the link. I went there and read the information. I still have questions:
    Assuming I am using just still photos (let's keep it easy at first and assume no video) - what settings do I use for FCE under easy set up and for the sequence? Photos are jpg images shot with a digital camera that have been saved on my computer for a few years. I want to output my contents to DVD using iDVD and play back on a 1080p plasma tv.
    Do I have to edit or resize the photos in photoshop first? It sounds like I can just import them into FCE and that it should work. I am not working with advanced photoshop images - just simple jpg images - no layers. The chart on page 2 of the link above says for 1080i - rectangular size N/A and square size 1920x1080. What does this mean? Is this telling me to resize my images to 1920x1080 before I import into FCE? If I want to use the Ken Burns effect and zoom should I double this to 3840x2160?
    If someone can tell me step by step what they would do with the settings for FCE if they wanted to create a still photo slideshow with music, transitions and pan and zoom I would appreciate it. Again - source material is jpg images and I want to output to DVD using iDVD to display on a 1080p plasma tv. Also assuming that you had a standard landscape photo shot with a 4 megapixel camera what steps would you go through to prep it for FCE in Photoshop - if any?
    Sorry that I am asking for a detailed example but I learn much better that way - after I am able to get one photo into an acceptable format for FCE the rest will be easy.
    Has anyone actually created a successful slide show in FCE using transitions and the Ken Burns effect or do they get jitters in their photos as well - the image doesn't appear to flow smoothly.
