I Movie message:No Storage Location set while importing from HD Handycam

While importing media from sony handycam (HD file based cam) the following message appears after the clips are ready to be imported:No Storage Location set. Cannot start ingestbecause there is no storage location set. Please set one under Storage in Preferences and try again.

I think these are the steps I took:
1 Shut down the computer completey and then startup again (Camcorder disconnected)
2 Connect camcorder and in iMovie follow the procedure to import from camera. This triggers the launching of iPhoto - but as iPhoto started to launch I had the mouse pointer on the iPhoto icon at the bottom of the screen and right clicked the mouse with the option button held and selected 'Force Quit'
It worked for me and I hope it works for you! Later when I went to import again, both iPhoto and iMovie behaved as expected.
The whole thing is a mystery to me and the original message is no help at all and gives no guidance as to how to solve this (common?) problem.
Hopefully this 'bug' can be fixed by Apple engineers -fingers crossed.

IMovie cannot share and no storage location set

I am using iMovie 10.0.6 on a Retina iMac running Yosemite.
iMovie suddenly developed the following maddening behavior, which I have yet to resolve despite trying many of the usual tricks:
Attempting to import to an event using my isight camera or my Canon HV20 camera in a library on my internal SSD results in the following popup message: "No storage location set: Cannot start ingest because there is not storage location set. Please set one under Storage in Preferences and try again."
It is possible to import by loading a file to my local library. However creating a project with that file results in the strange behavior that the clips from that file remain blue and don't fill in with the preview.
I cannot share or export any project. Clicking "Share" in file or the "Share" button displays the options, by when I click on the share option, nothing happens.
Importing to library in an external hard drive succeeds without the error message. The clips in the projects created in the external libarary do fill in with the preview pictures. However, I am not able to share or export a project in the external library either.
When I log into my son's account on the same machine, iMovie works fine. I am able to import to his accounts library and I'm able to share, the share button works as normal.
I have tried the following remedies, none have worked:
1)delete the iMovie app and reinstall.
2)delete every iMovie preference in ~/Library/preferences
3)delete iMovie caches
4)delete iMovie receipts
5)repair permissions using disk utility
6)reset user permissions and ACLs using "reset user password" in terminal
7)reinstall Yosemite from recovery (preserving user files)
8) reset pram and SMC
There must be some very hidden persistent setting corrupted that is either verry hidden or not explicitly part of iMovie; perhaps a common sharing or video import application? Does anyone have any ideas?

Brilliant - it worked for me, although I had to look around inside the
/var/folders/
and found it under another with two letter
Thank you ultrahertz

Import problems. "NO STORAGE LOCATION SET"

Hi, I'm having issues importing footage into FCPX. I keep getting the error message "NO STORAGE LOCATION SET"
I have tried everything including re-installing the program and deleting relevant files from final cut library preferences.
The footage is save onto my drive. I've tried different footage on different drives.
Any one else had this problem?
I'm really stuck here.

I think these are the steps I took:
1 Shut down the computer completey and then startup again (Camcorder disconnected)
2 Connect camcorder and in iMovie follow the procedure to import from camera. This triggers the launching of iPhoto - but as iPhoto started to launch I had the mouse pointer on the iPhoto icon at the bottom of the screen and right clicked the mouse with the option button held and selected 'Force Quit'

Moved my library to an external hard drive. Now I get this message when trying to import video: Cannot start ingest because there is no storage location set. Please set one under Storage in Preferences and try again.

I recently moved my iMovie Library and all of its contents to an external hard drive. I then erased the library and all of its contents from my iMac HD and created a new library. Now when I try to import video from my DV camera I get this message: Cannot start ingest because there is no storage location set. Please set one under Storage in Preferences and try again. There is no way to set a storage location in Preferences. I have chosen an Event in the middle drop down box. But it still will not import. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My iTunes library is set up the way I said in the top post and works totally fine.
Yes, and that is the default structure to which I was referring. iTunes will organize it that way automatically unless people do start changing settings (in which case they should know what they are doing and how iTunes works with library files and media structure.)
Both ways work, the advantages of mine would be that should iTunes try looking fo a library, it will always be in the default location.
It makes people think they have to change media location in preferences. They do not unless they want to relocate media only and leave other things on their internal drive (in which case there is no point in copying library files to the external, and you certainly wouldn't want to then delete them from your internal).
Downside is that then should someone move their iTunes library to anther computer they need to remember to get those library files on the external hard drive.
Just copy the whole iTunes folder and it will get the library files to the other drive in one step, along with all the other files.
Your post has good stuff but it makes a move appear intimidating and look like people have to do a lot of organizing to move the collection. It also throws in extra steps (namely altering preference settings) that could cause confusion or even make a mess of things. If people leave iTunes to default preference settings (which most people do) the move summarizes into a short line: Copy a folder and hold an extra button the next time you start iTunes.
Note that the instructions in the link I provided earlier do also include many steps, but those are to ensure that everybody does have it all organized correctly before simply copying the iTunes folder. In the end it is just a simple action.

No storage location set

Hi Im trying to import some footage into FCP X 10.1.1 but I get the following message "Cannot start ingest because there is no storage location set. Please set one under Storage in Preferences and try again"
Can someone please help?

I'm getting same problem:
(FCP 10.1.1/OS 10.9.2)
Here are the import settings:

The system does not get Storage Location of the material from the Contract

Hi to all,
We are encountering a problem now regarding the PR to PO conversion. Our ABAPer has made a background job for the User to convert a PR to PO using ME59N.
Background Job : ZPTI_MM_PR_PO_CON
Program : RM06BB30
Tcode: ME59N
Variant : SAMPLE2_ME59N ( Plant, Vendor, POrg, Pgrp.)
Rule : When the PO is converted the STORAGE LOCATION of the material should be gotten from a CONTRACT/AGREEMENT instead of the SLoc defaulted in PR.
Problem: When the backround job is finished, the PO is converted but the STORAGE LOCATION did not get from the CONTRACT.
Steps done :
1. Create a Contract (ME31K)
    1.1 Specify the SLOC of the material
2. Create PR (ME51N) and enter the Contract Number inside the PR
    note : In the PR the material has a Storage Location which defaults from the Material Master.
3. Run SM36 and enter the job ZPTI_MM_PR_PO_CON
4. Set the job to "Immediately"
5. Click Steps icon and enter the program RM06BB30 and variant SAMPLE2_ME59N
6. Save
7. Go to SM37 and check the job if finished.
8. When the job is finished, check the PR if it has a PO.
9. Display the PO.
10. Check if the storage location in PO has gotten from the Contract
     The problem now appeared.
We have tried to use ME59N alone and not using the background job. The system has gotten the correct Storage Location, thus it got from the Contract.
Please help what should be checked on our side. Our ABaper is also currently debugging the program but we
are seeking help to fasten the solution.
Best Regards,
Elynne

Hi Elynne,
Definitively, it is a problem with ME59N background process.
It is better if you can create a message to SAP asking for the solution.
I only found the next SAP note:
Note 1287723 - ME59N in backgound does not populate PR details in PO.
But, I do not know if it will help to resolve your issue.
I hope this little information can help you in anyway.
Kind regards,
Sandra

HT4858 why am I getting an error message while importing from iPhone photo stream to iMac ?

I have not shared any photo for a few months. I tried to import photos into my iMac from iPhone photostream and I get a message saying "an error occurred while importing photo, please try again later". What am I doing wrong ?

There's no need to import photos from your iPhone to your iMac. Photostream is synced automatically via iCloud on Wi-Fi.
On your iPhone, tap Settings > iCloud
Make sure Photo Stream is switched ON.
On your iMac, open System Preferences > iCloud
Make sure Photo Stream is selected.

Error While Importing from EIF file into AW

Hi All,
I am facing the following error while importing from EIF file into AW using AWM as well as from sql prompt.
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-36786: (IOSEC04) File POCAW/abc.eif does not exist or cannot be accessed.

i have already created the directory pocaw.
i have done the following steps :
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY POCAW as 'D:\Olap_POC\export';
GRANT all ON DIRECTORY POCAW to PUBLIC;
execute dbms_aw.execute ('aw create ''POC_AW''');
execute dbms_aw.execute('cda pocaw');
execute dbms_aw.execute('dtb attach POC_AW rw');
execute dbms_aw.execute('import all from eif file ''/abc.eif'' dfns update ');
any idea or thought would be appreciable.
thanks n advance
anwar

execute dbms_aw.execute('import all from eif file''/abc.eif'' dfns update ');
Maybe one of the following file names could help
(have never tried it):
''abc.eif''
''POC_AW\abc.eif''Yes,
you don't need the slash. CDA is like setting a default directory.

While importing from my digital camera (Olympus XZ-2), iMovies quits, WHile importgin from my digital camera (Olympus XZ-2), iMovies quits

While importing from my digital camera (Olympus XZ-2), it "unexpectedly quits" - seems to happen on slightly larger clips (over 90 seconds) - not sure if it is related to the model camera or iMovie 11'. Any advice?

Lion is 10.7, Snow Lepoard is 10.6, Leopard is 10.5.
I woul strongly recomend you update to 10.6.8 (the last snow lepoard update) for a number of reasons. First 10.6.8. is a solid OS at this point you won't have to many (or any) gotcha's. Second Leopard (10.5.x) is going away. Pretty sure there will be no more updates for it at this point. If not it won't be long before that happens. Also you will need to have 10.6.8 installed in the event you want to at some point upgrade to Lion.
But finally perhaps the most important point if you don't have 10.6.8 you can't acess the App Store and if you can;t acess the App Store you will need to get the boxed version of Aperture 3. The differerence in price between the boxed version and the App Store version will more then pay for the upgrade to Snow Leopard. In fact you should have a fair bit of change left over.
good luck

ITunes crashing while importing from CD

I am a very new first-time iPod owner and am very frustrated by iTunes crashing with an access violation while importing from CD.
This has happened with a number of different and brand new CDs and it will import a number of tracks but then falls over. If I try to just import the particular track it will crash again but other tracks are imported OK. However if I drag and drop the same track from a windows explorer view into iTunes it will then import fine without crashing.
Any suggestions? OS is XP Pro. PC is Athlon 64 Dual Core with 1GB RAM. iTunes v 6.0.1.3
Peter

I seem to be having the same problem. I insert the cd and it reads it fine. I click to import and iTunes locks up. I use task manager to close iTunes and system is still bogged down. I have paid several people $$ and they don't seem to know the problem. There has to be a conflict somewhere but where?
Last person to help suggested that I use WinAmp to rip the cd and THEN import to iTunes.
Hubby has a Creative Labs MP3 and ripped 100+ cd's prior to iTunes installation with no problem.
Can anybody out there help?

Default storage location setting

Hi,
how can i set the default storage location.
I need to reflect it autometically while booking any order.
Regards,
Rajdeep

Hi Rajdeep,
there are quite different ways to achieve this,
- If you are open for enhancement, then write the piece of coding to default the storage location in Includ:MV45AFZB under
USEREXIT_SOURCE_DETERMINATION which could be applicable for all doc types or set of doc types/ item cat's
OR
- You can achieve the same requirement with Transaction variant in Tx:SHD0 while recording enter this field manually & at the time of save , save it as "with content" & assign this variant in order doc type details in VOV8.
then whenver you create sales order using this doc type, storage location will be defaulted. ( assumption is - you have single storage location which has to be defaulted in order)
Hope it helps,

Hello All,
When create subcontracting PO, want to set the field of Issue storage location as mandatory.
I tried to find configuration "Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase Order-->Define Screen Layout at Document Level", but there is not entry "Issue storage location" to set the screen layout field.
I searched previous threads, but only find some to mention issue storage location for STO. Now, I just use subcontracting PO that is same as NB document type.
Please your kind suggestion or any method to set Issue storage location as mandatory in PO.
Thanks very much!

Restricting Authorization for movement types for Storage Location

Hi Xperts
I have a requirement that 313 & 315 material movements should not have any BBD/SLED check.However , 314 & 316 should have BBD/SLED check.
Suppose there are two storage locations : A(Good Stock) & B(Blocked Stock).
I want one User-ID should be authorized to perform 313 & 315 from A to B.However the same USER-ID should not be authorized to perform 313 & 315 from B to A.They should be authorized only to perform 314 & 316 from B to A.
All the above trasnactions will be performed either via MIGO or via MB1B.
How to achieve this.Pls suggest.
Regards,
Soumick

Hi Soumick,
You can try by creating 2 roles as given below.
Role A - Tcode Migo
BWART - 313 and 315
for object M_MSEG_LGO field LGORT - give only A
Role B - Tcode Migo
BWART - 314 and 316
for object M_MSEG_LGO field LGORT - give only B
Try assigning both the roles to user and see... Not 100% sure...but u can try out.... You need to have such scenarios tested very thoroughly.
