ICal getting stuck at "Importing iCal Data..." when trying to import .ics file

I recently discovered I had 2 iCloud accounts. Since I only want to use one account I decided to export my entire iCal to a .ics file to my desktop, delete my old iCloud account, and then import the .ics file into my new iCloud account. This is all being done on the same computer (iMac). But when I try to import the file it immediately displays "Importing iCal data..." but just stays there forever. I left it for about an hour today and it never imported. This file is only 206 bytes. Can anyone help me?

After long investigation I made the assumption that my original .ICS file was somehow corrupted. Fortunately I remembered that all my calendar data was still on my other iCloud account so I was able to recover the data from there, make a 2nd .ICS file, and repeat this process to transfer my calendar info. Hopefully you are able to do the same.

"Import failed" message when trying to import iPhoto library to PE11

I receive an "Import failed" message when trying to import my iPhoto library to my trial version of PE11. I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and using iPhoto 11. Anyone able to help? I have tried 4 or 5 times now with the same result.

If you're really sure you want to import the whole iphoto library (which is what that command does), then just export the photos to the desktop, put them where you want to keep them, and use File>Get photos and videos>from files and folders to import them. The 'from iphoto' command makes duplicates anyway, so you aren't losing anything by doing it this way.

Why do i keep getting "image is missing preview data" when trying to move files from bridge to PS ??

I am not able to move multiple files to PS...regardless whether I am doing HDR or panorama.....get this "image is missing preview data" with the first file number of the series of files.
#missingpreviewdata

You don't "move" anything from Bridge "into" Photoshop. You use Bridge to call on Photoshop to come and open the file(s), and Bridge simply hands the files over to Photoshop.
The problem lies in how the files are being processed and saved.
No one can help you until you provide complete and sensible details.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

I'm getting an error 'Insufficient Disk Space' when trying to import

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? It is telling me I need 6MB of additional free space but despite deleting an abundance of other photos and seemingly freeing up the space I still cannot import and get the same error? HELP!

In your first post you wrote
It is telling me I need 6MB of additional free space
And in your second post
Importing to internal hard drive 6.85GB available
Even assuming that the GB was a typo and should be MB you're still on the hairy edge.

ICal gets "stuck" on date - can't view a different week without quitting

I haven't seen anyone else post this, but it's getting really annoying. Every now and then, iCal gets "stuck" on a particular week. If I click on a new date in the calendar, it is highlighted, but the date I am on remains highlighted as well, and the week view does not change to the new week.
When I am clicking on "To Dos" the list magically moves from the item I am clicking to another item on an earlier date - essentially the list scrolls to the top of the list, and instead of clicking on the item I want, I am clicking on whatever item is in the bottom of the window when viewed from the top of the list. When this happens, the week view changes to the week of that "To Do" item's due date, and - again - will not let me change the week that I'm viewing.
Anyone know of something I can delete or purge or cross out with a magic marker to make this stop happening?

Actually, I only addressed your first complaint about the view being stuck to a specific week when a todo item in that week is selected.
It turns out I am also experiencing something that looks like your second complaint, about the wrong todo item being selected when you try to click on one. What I am seeing is the following: just like you can't show a date and its events outside of the current week if a todo item in the current week is selected, you can't show a todo item outside of the current week if an event in the current week is selected. If you scroll down and try to select the todo item, the list scrolls back up automatically, and you end up selecting a different todo item in the current week.
I also reported this to Apple in the same bug report.
So, good rules of thumb are the following:
- If you want to select/show an event or a day outside of the current week, make sure you first select an event in the current week;
- If you want to select a todo item outside of the current week, make sure you first select a todo item in the current week.
Hope this helps, while the guys at Apple are (hopefully) working on a fix. But I am rather pessimistic. My experience with bugs I reported in the past is that they are only fixed if they are critical, security-related bugs. If they are just usability bugs with workarounds like this one, they are only fixed in the next major release of OS X. But let's cross our fingers. There are so many people complaining about iCal on these forums that Apple might want to do something about it. But people who have complaints or requests about a product should send them directly to Apple, and assume by default that they are not reading this forum.
You can send your complaints on the following site:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
The more people file complaints, the more likely they are to be fixed soon. You might want to put a link to this discussion thread so they know exactly what you are complaining about.

ORA-01552 Error when trying to import data

I get the following error when trying to import data into my database. My version is as follows:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
PL/SQL Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
CORE 9.2.0.6.0 Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
and I get the following error:
ORA-01552: cannot use system rollback segment for non-system tablespace
Any help would be appreciated.
Also when I upgraded my database I received the following error message but continued without fixing:
Warnings Ignored: Your database is using US7ASCII as the NCHAR type. In Oracle9i, the NCHAR datatypes (NCHAR, NVARCHAR2, and NCLOB) are limited to the Unicode character set encoding (UTF8 AND AL16UTF16) only. Refer to the Oracle 9i Database Upgrade Guide to change NCHAR columns in user tables to one of the supported types.
Can I fix this via an sql statement or what?

Hi, i think that the problem is around the rollback segments.The solution is bring other rollback segments ONLINE state, if not exist others rollbackup,then you need create the other rollback segments and bring online state.
If you need more information, you will must see the next DOC-ID on Metalink site,

When trying to import photos I get file could notbe imported unrecognized format

When trying to transfer digital files from my camera I get the following message.
file could not be imported unrecognized format. also clicking on a photo in an album produces a black screen on my computer.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I get an error when trying to import MP3 files in iTunes?

When I try to import mp3 files into iTunes (version 6), I get an error message of:
The file "song file name" can not be imported An unknown error has occurred (-50).
I have already imported these files into iTnes on my old computer, but run into this problem with my new laptop. I downloaded a new version of iTunes just like I installed all my new programs on this new laptop.
For some reason, I run into this problem when trying to import any mp3 files (as mentioned, even mp3 files that I successfully imported into iTunes previously).
(I've tried a complete removal and re-install, but that didn't help)
Anyone know why I'm getting this error message and how to correct things?
Thanks in advance for any help !!!

I Get an error message when trying to import cd's

I keep getting an error message when trying to import cd's - "You don't have write access for your media player"
I already tried going to the itunes media folder and unchecking the "read only" box but it didn't help.
I recently changed computers but since then I've copied cd's to my itunes folder with no problems. Now I get this message.

Try a couple folders up - a parent folder's permissions can cause problems with a child subfolder.
And don't just rely on the read-only box. Go to c/users/username/music, right-click and get permissions, go to the security tab and make sure your username has full control and ownership.

Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 (presumed 64 bit).....
1. Music files and error message...are these music files from iTunes? If so, convert them to .wav in iTunes to convert them to wav version, and then import the .wav version into Premiere Elements 13 project using Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace's Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the wav version to the Soundtrack.
The following are the instructions for the iTunes converting
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1550
If any problems with the instructions, please let me know, and I will go through them with you.
2. How you set up the project and the export settings that you select greatly influence your end product result.
a. What are the properties of the source media?
b. What project preset did you (manually) or the project (automatically) set to match the properties of the source media.
(If you do not know, please tell us what you see for the readings of Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, Pixel Aspect Ratio - even
if the fields look grayed out.)
c. For your export...Publish+Share/Computer/and then what? And what preset? Did you use the default settings of the preset or did you
customize the export settings of the preset under the preset's Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thanks.
