Image files are missing when trying to import

This only started happening recently, and it doesn't happen all the time, but occasionally when I try to import images, the "Finder" section on the lower part of the Import screen doesn't show any images available for import. It will show me the folder hierarchy, but when I navigate to the folder that has the images I want to import (usually a folder on the desktop) the folder is "empty" in Aperture, even though I'm 100% sure the files are actually sitting there. (I'm currently working with JPGs and TIFFs because //cringe// there's no d7000 support yet....but that's a post for another thread.)
I should mention that I haven't seen this problem when I try to import directly from an SD card -- it only occurs when I try to import from a folder that's on my local HD.

Closing the import browser can help, as long as you have switched to an import source directory (which Aperture remembers) before closing it.
In my library I narrowed it down to very specific conditions to cause the hangup. I'm able to reliably reproduce the problem or avoid it based on the following procedures, which assume that I'm going to import from folders already in my filesystem (not on a connected camera.)
I thought it might have to do with which is the currently selected destination Project, Album or Folder when the Import command is initiated, but this doesn't seem to have an effect.
Instead, in my system, it depends on the presence of problematic non-JPEG files in the source directory. Some of these are very large .TIFF or .PNG scans, and if Aperture is not able to read them (and generate a preview for import) in a certain relatively short period of time - likely because they are bigger than 300MB - then the problem file and all those following it remain as dotted-outlines with no previews.
Once it's hung loading these big files, switching to other source directories yields all dotted outlines - no previews - for a very long time; and Aperture continues to display "Loading Assets", but eventually the normal jpegs in those source directories will show a preview. After that you can navigate to any other source directory and see previews +as long as those directories don't contain "problem" files.+
When it's hung loading large previews, closing and reopening the Import browser won't help. When I've switched to an unproblematic source directory and it's recovered, it doesn't matter.

Why does message say application components are missing when trying to open Photoshop?

why does message say application components are missing when trying to open Photoshop?

The probable causes are:
A bad, or incomplete install
Inability of the program to access the location of those components
Deleted files, that are required for those components
What is the exact text of the error message?
Good luck,

Final cut pro x keeps on saying files are full when trying to export when their not ?

Hi
Final cut pro x keeps on saying files are full when i'm trying to export when they are not full and also what setting do i export them on for a small quicktime?

The preset that will give you the smallest file is email and you will have 3 choices of size. Not sure what you consider small, but also take a look at Apple Device.
Your error message is Files are Full or DIsk is Full? Will need more info about your system specs, the format of the clips you're using and your project settings.

Since installing Tiger my images files are missing .jpg and won't open.

Upgraded to Tiger a month or so ago. Now when I open some images files there are two extra items in the folder. One marked FINDER.DAT and another folder marked RESOURCE.FRK in upper case. My images will not open because the .jpg has been removed. I can retype the .jpg and they will open, but we are talking over 4000 images here. What happened? G4 Quicksilver, OS 10.4.10, Photoshop Elements 3, Toast Titanium, Firefox, Seamonkey, Safari, etc.

Copy this script into Script Editor, compile it, and run it on the .DAT folder:
Add Prefix/Suffix to files script:
<begin script>
tell application "Finder"
activate
set the chosen_folder to (choose folder with prompt "Pick the folder containing the files to rename:")
set the prefixorsuffix to ""
repeat
display dialog "Enter the prefix or suffix to use:" default answer the prefixorsuffix buttons {"Cancel", "Prefix", "Suffix"}
copy the result as list to {the prefixorsuffix, the button_pressed}
if the prefixorsuffix is not "" then exit repeat
end repeat
set the file_list to (every file of the chosen_folder) as list
repeat with this_file in the file_list
if the button_pressed is "Prefix" then
set the newfilename to the (the prefixorsuffix & name of this_file) as string
else
set the newfilename to the (name of this_file & the prefixorsuffix) as string
end if
my setitem_name(thisfile, the newfilename)
end repeat
end tell
beep 2
on setitem_name(thisitem, newitemname)
tell application "Finder"
activate
set the parentcontainerpath to (the container of this_item) as text
if not (exists file (the parentcontainerpath & newitemname)) then
try
set the name of this_item to newitemname
on error the error_message number the error_number
if the error_number is -59 then
set the error_message to "This name contains improper characters, such as a colon (:)."
else --the suggested name is too long
set the error_message to "The name is more than 31 characters long."
end if
beep
display dialog the error_message default answer newitemname buttons {"Cancel", "Skip", "OK"} default button 3
copy the result as list to {newitemname, button_pressed}

end try
else --the name already exists
beep
display dialog "This name is already taken, please rename." default answer newitemname buttons {"Cancel", "Skip", "OK"} default button 3

I receive an error message that some of the application components are missing when trying to open Photoshop CC 64-bit

Hi,
I'm using Windows 8.1 and I can see photoshop CC 64 bit. But when I'm launching it, it throws an error "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application". I've reinstalled twice but getting the same error. Whereas the 32 bit application works fine. Any help?

Branching this to a new discussion.

HT201210 hello,can't install itunes because files are missing when downloaded,please help?

Hello,Please help me i had an update the other day.when i downloaded it ,it basically stuffed my whole itunes program.I am unable to access anything in relation to my itunes.I have uninstalled itunes several times with no joy.And always comes up missing files can't install.cant reinstall this great program and i am missing playing all of my music videos and music.Thankyou in this matter.I have windows vista home premium.

When I go to install itunes+quicktime it says "A newer version of quicktime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of quicktime is installed". Even though quicktime is not installed on my computer because I had uninstalled it. When I've tried to download quicktime by itself. There's a box that pop up's wanting the quicktime.msi install package or a alternate path. I found 2 quicktime.msi. One is from '08 version 7.4.5 the other from '10 version 7.6.9. When I've tried to repair the 7.6.9 it says "this action is only valid for products that are currently installed".
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

Help, When I upload my website all image links are missing!

Hello, new dreamweaver cs5 user here. When I preview on firefox everything looks great! After uploading all image files are missing. www.cityrevealed.com

There are still plenty of images attempting to be loaded from a folder level above the Root:
<img src="../images/header2.jpg" width="960" height="226" border="0"
are you sure there is an "images" folder in the root?
http://www.cityrevealed.com/images/
Typically attempting to look at the index file of a folder level will return "Access Prohibited" or actually reveal the file and sub folder structure with that folder level... but trying to directly access the "images" folder returns page not found. While I realize there may not be any index page there... I would normally be getting "Access Prohibited".
You may have made changes but are you sure they have ALL been uploaded to the server?
Are you uploading via DreamWeaver or an FTP program?
How are you verifying that the server folder structure is exactly the same as your local machine?

Tried loading the latest version of itunes but the download would not complete. Now when I connect my phone to a usb i get an error stating required files are missing, reinstall itunes. I tried that but the reinstall keeps timing out?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I have 2nd gen. Ipod shuffle I restored it and now when i am trying to sync it, it is showing that some files are missing and it is not getting sync what should i do???

Master reset...? Your device was jailbroken prior to you purchasing the device. The only symbol you should see on reboot is an Apple symbol. Download redsnow... google it! Download the latest version and your IPSW (ipod restore firmware) it has to be the correct version. And the "just boot tethered" should fix your device.
But that's only if you didnt back the device up. If you don't care about any of the data on the ipod then you can simply open itunes navigate to the device and click the restore button. This will restore the ipod firmware and install a fresh copy. Good luck let me know if you have any problems.

FAQ: My files are missing from the Library, or How to reconnect your images?

What is the Lightroom Library?
The Library module of Lightroom can be used to arrange, codify, systemize, group, and classify your media. When you import your images and video into the Library, you are adding information about your files to a catalog. Your files remain on your hard drive where they were, unless you are importing them from a camera, in which case the files are copied to your hard drive to a location of your choosing.
What is a Lightroom catalog?
The catalog is a database that stores information about the files you've imported into Lightroom. When importing a file, the first thing Lightroom does is collect the file's name and location on the hard drive. If the file has any attached compatible metadata, such as keyword tags, these are imported as well. You can use multiple catalogs and your catalogs can be carried forward from version to version.
Why does Lightroom say my files are missing?
Since the catalog database only stores information about your file, and not the file itself, if any of that information is changed outside of Lightroom, the connection to the file is lost. There are three ways this can happen: the file name is changed, the file location is changed, or the file has been deleted. If you need to rename, move, or delete a file, you can do so within the Library module, and then the connection is not lost.
What is Reconnecting?
When a file has been renamed, moved, or deleted, the catalog database needs to be updated with that new information. The Reconnection process allows you to point out a file's new name, it's new location, or to delete the database entry on your file if the file no longer exists on your hard drive.

Dude! Where are my photos?

Similar happened to me when i moved my iTunes library from XP to Win 8.1. Apps were in iTunes but would not sync to iPhone - could not find oritinal file. Win Xp and 8.1 have different file paths for My Documents and My Music. Locate the folder within iTunes called Mobile Applications. It should have a file with an IPA extension for each application. Add that folder to library. That will refresh the iTunes database so that it knows where to find the apps. I had to do that to my entire library (music, podcasts, etc)

When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop... won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not

If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow. However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

Lightroom 5.7.1, Yosemite OS X - Synchronise Folder function doesn't work in Lr.
Is there a compatibility issue? I can see the folders/images in Finder but when trying to synchronise folders in Lr it does not recognise that there are any images and therefore unable to import to catalogue. Anyone has any idea how to make it work. Thanks a lot.

Hi Elba,
Thank you very much for your reply. Not sure, however, that we are talking about the same problem.
I am trying to perform the same function in Lr that I have been doing for many years in the past and has only been a problem in the last few days (possibly coinciding with upgrading to Yosemite, trying to find out whether that is the problem)
I am not intending to sync any files with Creative Cloud but only trying to use 'Synchronize Folder' function in Lr. Normally, I would right click on a particular folder in Lr catalogue and click on that function to check that the Lr Catalogue is perfectly matching my drives where the original photos are actually stored.
The problem that I only started to encounter is that I can see the files on the actual drives but they do not appear in my Lr Catalogue and they are completely invisible to Lr. I simply can not get Lr to recognise them and then import them to catalogue.
If for example, I export images to Ps and then save and close them, they do appear on my drive but are invisible to Lr and I can't get them imported into the catalogue. Import to folder also not producing any results as they are still invisible to Lr.
Completely baffled by it. Any idea what could be the reason?
Kind regards,
Nik

FAQ: My files are missing from Elements Organizer, or How to reconnect your images?

The Elements Organizer can be used to arrange, codify, systemize, group, and classify your media.

Anything besides reconnecting all the files, such as switching the drive letter (if that is even possible)?
The easiest way to fix this is to change the drive letter. Here are instructions for Windows 7: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ht/change-drive-letters-windows-7.htm
To prevent this from happening again, you can change the drive to some very high letter, like X:, and then it should remain constant. In Lightroom, right-click on the top level folder ,and select Find Missing Folder, and then point it to your X: drive.
I know I can "Import---Add to catalog" all the photos from my external hard drive back into the catalog but I do have a question:
I won't address your question specifically, since re-importing is a very bad idea. A very bad idea. You will lose information that is not in the sidecar files, such as collection members, edit history, flags, virtual copies, stacks and a few other things. Just don't go there. Change the drive letters, as I explained.
