How do I stop organizer to automatic import everything from camera and card readers?

I want myself to decide what and when something shall be added to organizer.

Hi,
You don't say which version of elements you are using or which operating system you are running so I'll give some general answers.
Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Camera or Card Reader and change the Download Option to Advanced.
Now when you get images from the card, it will display a preview of each image and you select/de-select each one before telling it to download the selected ones.
If you can't turn on the advanced dialog, your screen depth in pixels may be too small.
If you don't want the downloader to be started when you insert the card then the operating system needs a tweak.
The other thing to look at is watched folders, you may want to turn the facility off.

  • Import fails from camera and card reader

    I am unable to get Aperture 2.1.2 to import from either my camera or a CF card reader. I have a Canon 400d (Rebel XTi), shoot RAW only, and have used it for a while in Aperture without any problems, but suddenly it refuses to import.
    Aperture 'sees' the camera, opens the import pane automatically, but once the import process starts, nothing happens. The little spinning import indicator just spins...no images download. This behavior is the same for either the camera or card reader. And it happens with different cards.
    The only way I can import images is to drag them from the card in the Finder, and then drag them from the Finder into Aperture.

    I had this problem after the raw update 2.2 with images from my 1d-mkii. After the 2.3 update things went back to normal. There's something not entirely right with the current raw version from apple. My hunch is it's all going to be ok after the 10.5.6 update, which shouldn't be long.

  • How do i stop the circle in the middle from spinning and wake up my ipad?

    how do i get my ipad to wake up, it keeps spinning in a circle in the middle?

    Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - try that.

  • How do I stop FaceTime on my MacBook Pro from freezing and dropping connection constantly?

    I only have this issue with FaceTime on my MacBook Pro; FaceTime works fine on my iPad Mini and iPhone 5S. I'll be talking with someone over FaceTime and it will randomly freeze and/or say it's lost the connection and I usually have to turn my Wifi off and on again and it reconnects. Every time I click on the Wifi icon in the top it says it's looking for networks. Why would it be looking for networks? It's almost always within 10-15 feet of my wireless router and nothing else in my house has an issue maintaining a connection with it. Is there some kind of unnecessary setting on my MacBook Pro that tells it to constantly search for other networks even though I've only set it up for one network?

    Were you able to download and save the DMG (disk image file) for Firefox?
    If there are problems with updating or permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (DMG) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 16.0.2: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
    Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

  • We are using iPhoto '09 trying to import photos from  a memory card.  We stopped the import and ejected the card over 20 hours ago, but iPhoto says its still importing.  Any idea how long the import should run if there were 5000 photos on the card?

    Don't know how long it would take to import that many photos but if you stopped import and ejected the card ther is something else wrong here.
    I would Force Quit iPhoto. Then Restart your mac. Then restart iphoto to see if any or all of your photos were imported. If they ae you're good to go. If they were not imported I would try importing fewer photos at a time and see what happens.

  • Window 8.1 is not allowing Elements Organizer 11 to import pictures from SD card into Organizer

    After installing Windows 8.1, I am no longer able to import pictures from SD card into Organizer as Elements simply stops working after Import from Card reader is selected. Obviously I am shutdown from importing pictures.

    Windows 8.1 is not allowing Elements Organizer 11 to import pictures from SD Card in card reader into Elements Organizer. The Elements Program goes to a blue circle and the program times out.
    I have:
    Tried different SD cards
    Tried different card readers,
    I can import off files or folders. However card reader does not show up on this menu within Elements.
    There is obviously some workaround that could be contemplated BUT Elements Organizer cannot import from SD card in card reader and this is a very inconvenient situation.  It worked fine in Windows 8.0.
    I would appreciate a reply. Thank you.

  • How do I stop Final Cut Pro 10.1 from  introducing artifacts?

    How do I stop Final Cut Pro 10.1 from introducing artifacts?
    Can someone please tell me what do do differently so that my edited video does not develop artifacts that were not in the original camera file.  My Sony HDR CX900 produces crazy detailed XAVC S video that FCPX seems to import with no problem but FCPX is introducing artifacts: some on import and more on share. The artifact in the examples below appears above and below the horizontal rope line on this model boat. Please look closely. It doesn't look to bad here, but it dances on my screen. Also, the video generally degrades much more than I would have hoped. How can I get more professional results?  Sorry for the long post, but more information now might save time and questions.
    Below is a portion of a frame opened in quicktime directly from camera's card.
    Below is the associated Inspector for above frame
    Here is the same after it is imported into FCPX. Optimized and Proxy Media were created, but FCPX seems to select what to play so I can't tell you which one is shown here.
    Here is the associated Inspector capture from FCPX.
    Here is the same frame once again after it is Shared as ProRes 422. Note the horizontal lines above and below the rope lines on this model yacht.
    Here is Inspector for the above file.
    Here is the same once again after it is Shared as H.264 Better Quality.
    I tried converting to Proress with 5Dto RGB and Brorsoft Video Converter. They both went though the process, but introduced similar artifacts.
    How can I get more professional results?

    When I right click on the clip in the browser and select Transcode Media, the dialog box opens, Optimize Media is checked, but OK is greyed out. Transcode is not an option. I think this points to the fact that FCPX is doesn't need to transcode XAVC-S or FCPX can't transcode XAVC-S. This is a new Sony codec produced by the new HDR CX900. The codec is HD at 50Mbps.
    Tom Wolsky,
    I selected Optimized Media in the viewer and both the timeline and exports (422 and H.264) look great.
    The 24 second long exported video jumps a couple of times as if skipping a frame, as it plays. Could this be related to 29.97 instead of 30fps?
    Thank you so much for getting the image right. Now if I can just eliminate those couple of small jumps.

  • How do i import photos from camera without iPhoto

    how do i import photos from camera without iPhoto

    You can import pictures from the device using Image Capture:
    Connect the iOS device to the computer.
    If Image Capture does not open automatically, you can navigate to your Applications folder and open Image Capture from there.
    Choose the location to which you'd like to import pictures.
    Click Options.
    Click the Options tab if it isn't already selected.
    Enable the option "Delete items from camera after downloading".
    Note: Deleting photos after importing helps to reduce Camera Roll size, and it improves backup and restore times. You may choose Keep Photos if you wish to import the photos to additional computers.
    Click OK.
    Click Download All.
    If you have Aperture, you can use it to import your photos. See the Aperture User Guide for more information.

  • Howto: Automatically import files from folder at app launch!

    I've never used iPhoto much, but I am starting to like it. I don't exactly know why, but anyway. A thing I'd like to do (and I don't know if that's possible or not) is have iPhoto automatically import photos from one or more directories (or a directory + subdirectory) when I start the program. I've seen similar questions like mine, and some AppleScripts/FolderActions on how to make iPhoto launch and import files when they are put in a certain folder. But I'd prefer if it didn't automatically start. Sometimes I want to just drop some photos into a folder without wanting to look at/edit them right way, and so these scripts don't suit me. Perhaps what I want, can also be done with AppleScript (I know it's powerful!) but either way, I would appreciate if someone could help me out here or at least answer me if it can be done (in a way that is simple for me!).
    Thanks in advance!

    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 'Auto Import'. Make an Alias to the Folder (File -> Make Alias)
    Drag the alias to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Pop files onto that Alias, they'll be imported next time you launch iPhoto.
    This seems to be an option that was being added to v7 and then not finished.
    You may also be able to concoct something with Automator or check out Hazel

    Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.

  • LR displays "no preview available" upon import direct from camera after last update. How do I fix this?

    I have the latest LR update with Nikon D700 and import directly from camera. I purchased a new CF card in case the old one was the problem but I get the same thing with the new card. Is there a bug in the last update or is this a problem with my equipment?

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

  • Automatically Importing Photos from Finder to iPhoto '11

    Hi there,
    I save all of my photos to folders on my Drive. I'd like to set up my iPhoto '11 to automatically import photos from these folders to iPhoto each time I add a new photo, the way Picasa does. The only glitch is, I want to have the photos listed as Albums and not events. I was able to import my photos to iPhoto translating my folder names to Album names (using Automator) but am unable to get it to work automatically. Each time I add a photo to my folder on my drive, nothing happens...I would have to manually add each photo to iPhoto.
    Help with keeping it automatic and keeping folders as Albums?

    If the Automator action is working for you manually you can turn it into a Folder Action which will fire each time a new file is added to the folder.
    When you create the Automator action there is a template to create Folder actions. Create  new action as a Folder action and add the you're Automator code to it.
