Import and Folder Issues

I've spent hours trying simply to consolidate some images into various folders. I'm trying to import a file with the extension .CRW into a folder and get the message that (same filename).psd already exists in the folder. Yes, it does, but I want them both. Why is that a problem?
Next, I want to move three files from one folder to another but I get the message that (filename).XMP already exists in the destination.
So I created a new folder and tried to move the files to that folder. Two of them moved, but the third one didn't. I've repeated this several times, but the remaining file just stays in the original folder.
I already started over with a fresh database once and lost many hours of work. I can't afford to do it again.
Please help!

Ken,
There are numerous posts on this subject. Currently LR treats same name, different extension files as sidecars of each other. Check out the numeroues RAW + JPG posts for example.
Import your files into different folders and then move them into the folder you want for now.
Hopefully this behaviour will be changed in the forthcoming 1.1 release mentioned by Jeff Schewe et al.

  • Alphabetical  and Folder Issues

    Ok, let's look at one Event that I have set up and give me some input, correction or answers to the following real scenario if some of you would please.
    I have all the photos of my daughter from the various years of Easter, from 1998 to 2006.
    I have the photos organized within the Libary ,Photos section, within their own folder by holiday and year. So, it looks like this Easter 1998, Easter 1999, Easter 2000, etc. Inside each of these folders I have tagged each group of pics using the Batch Change to Easter - the year - and then automatic numbering...so I end up with something like Easter 1999 - 01 and so on and so forth for each additional year and folder. When the pics from each of these folders was finished...I dragged them all in an album that I entitled Easter within My Albums view on the left pane of iPhoto. My event is just titled Easter in the Event view.
    Now, I have three ways of viewing these Easter photos...within Easter Event, Easter Album and within Library, Photos selected. Now this is all fine and dandy except for a few things.
    Why can I not sort the folders within the Library ,Photos view, alphabetically? I do not see an option to do this. Also, there are no subfolders within Events that I see. So, all of the years merge togther to where I get a giant Event folder within Events thats does not seperate the years, which I would like to have.

    If you're in the Photo's window you can sort the photos by title which is essentially alphanumerical. However, the Events/folders that they are in, if you have Event Titles selected to be displayed, will remain in their chronological order based on the file dates. It's the nature of the beast.
    If you want to sort the Event folders in a different order you'll have to batch change the dates of the files in each event via the Photos->Batch Change.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Growing file import and refresh issues

    1) With files generated by our own MOV/op1a writers, we get different results with different wappers, different OS platforms and versions, and different storage filesystems, both using CC 7.1 and CS6.05 
    Quicktime files on the Mac, OS 10.7.5 to a Samba share: refresh will only work by putting Premiere into the background then bringing it to the foreground to force the update. 
    Quicktime files (any codec) on a win7 PC writing to an NTFS share: we get sporadic updates, although in about 98% of sessions, the file will update once or twice after import and then never again during that particular CC/CS6 session. Exiting the program, reopening it and loading the project again will update the duration.  After closing the file, the duration updates instantly in both CC/CS6
    -- For Quicktime files, it seems like some sort of cache file is written that does not get updatedand premiere looks at this instead of polling the current state of the file.
    op1a XDCAM - on PC at least we get a sharing violation when attempting to open, much as in this discussion on the Adobe Community Premiere site: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4746601
    op1a AVC-I not tested yet.
    2) With Adobe Media Encoder CC doing the writing, we get no joy whatsoever.  Only tested on win7/NTFS share
    op1a XDCAM on import CS6/CC returns "file is open in another program" error.
    op1a AVC-I on import CS6/CC returns "file is open in another program" error.
    Quicktime (any codec) file import error or crash.
    All types import correctly after the files are closed.
    -- seems that the AME openfile() handle type is write-only, so Premiere can't open it for reading.
    So...I guess my first question is, what growing file source has this feature been tested with, on which OS and storage filesystems?
    There is virtually zero documentation and what little exists is very unspecific or contradictory...

  • Let's all contact Apple about CD imports and burning issues

    While reading through the posts here, it appears that there are alot of us with issues dealing with iTunes and CD imports and CD burning. Even using Quicktime 7.1.3, I still cannot even play a CD track. I can use other applications to import music, but the bottom line is that iTunes should let us import CD tracks. It doesn't. If you are having problems with these slow CD imports, or CD burning with iTunes 7, then we all need to contact Apple. I suggest that instead of trying to find a workaround, lets all get Apple to correct their iTunes application. When you open iTunes, click on iTunes in the toolbar across the top of your monitor and scroll down to the line "Provide iTunes feedback" Fill out the questions and describe exactly what CD import/burning issues that you are having. We will not hear back from Apple individualy, but if we all start letting them know directly that there is an issue, maybe they will get the message and fix these problems. We all appear to be passionate about Apple and iTunes. Lets get these problems resolved. Okay?

    I am having no problems. I did with my Ti667 when the optical drive died.
    I am onto the latest version of iTunes and can report no problems for me.
    Oppp......... my iTS country changes and I changed back and my account is in good order.

  • Renaming Photo on Import and Folder Destination LR4

    Sometime back I moved away from Lightroom for two specific reasons. I'm interested in possibly returning to the LR workflow but I've reviewed the new LR4 and can not decipher if it is possible to do the two specific things that made me leave it behind. Here is what I want LR4 to do.
    1). Allow me to rename images on Import with a custom name and ongoing sequential number. In other words the custom name would be the letter D and the ongoing number would look something like 234189. Final Image number would look like D234189.NEF. The key to this numbering system is the ongoing sequential number has to be remembered where it last left off each time a new Import is initiated. I'm not interested in having to reset the sequential number on each Import. The system I describe is an option on both Photo Mechanic and Aperture. I'm hopeful Adobe finally added this in Lightroom 4.
    2). I need to have the ability to Import all images into a folder on the day of IMPORT. Not the day the Images were shot. Lots of reasons why I don't want folders on day images where shot. I won't get into all of that. Suffice it to say I need the ability for the images to go into the folder on the DAY OF IMPORT. Older versions of Lightroom did not allow this. It would only allow photos to go in to separated folders on day of image capture.
    Thanks for any help that's provided. LR4 has some great new features and I have to say it is by far simpler to use than Aperture. I'm hopeful it can meet the two requirements above and if so I'll be moving back over.

    Not sure what you mean by "Ongoing sequential naming breaks down as a completeness control as soon as you delete images from within the sequence" I'm guessing you mean that there will be holes within the system? If so, that's not an issue. With an on ongoing running number, the only thing I want to make sure of is that each and every image has it's own personal ID. I don't care if I throw away a dozen, hundreds or ten thousand images in between. Just so the ones I keep have a unique, easy to read Identifier/name. Who cares if there are holes in the system. That's what software is made for. Yes, I could put all images in one folder but what's the point to doing something manually when you are using computers to eliminate manual work. Doesn't make any sense. Finally, you are mostly right about Adobe not loosing many sales without these options. However, my earlier mention of two other professionally dedicated software packages, that do have this capability, suggests that I'm not the only guy wanting more customization. They may be loosing more sales than you think. I've worked with Lightroom for years, as well as Aperture for years and the same goes for Photo Mechanic. I find that most people who take a stand one way or the other haven't tried all the options in a full fledged work environment. Would be nice if Adobe and Apple combined their products so to speak so we could have the best of both worlds. 

  • Importing & Burning Folder Issue

    I've had iTunes on my PC for a few years now, but I have just noticed that something has changed:
    My iTunes library is located at C:\users\myusername\Music\ .
    ITunes is set up to use this path when importing new media.
    However, when I add new media, either from a CD of the iTunes store, the files are stored at C:\users\myusername\Music\Music\ (in a folder named after the album and artist).
    Thinking of uninstalling iTunes and starting again, but before I do this perhaps someone else has seen this issue?.

    Uninstalling & reinstalling iTunes will not affect your folder sctructure.
    The normal location for the iTunes library folder is <User's Music>\iTunes with the media folder inside this. Your description is consistent with a media folder that has been created at <User's Music> and is in the right-hand layout shown below.
    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    If you have upgraded from version 8 (or earlier) to iTunes 9 (or later) at some point, then your media folder (everything inside the red outline) may still be called iTunes Music instead of iTunes Media. The extra Music folder inside the media folder is used if you have allowed iTunes to Upgrade to iTunes Media Organization (iTunes 9) or used File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" (iTunes 10). Depending on your choices for Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library plus a little bug in which one build changed the name of the file storing the choice of layout it is quite easy for some of your files to be organized according to one layout and some the other.
    If you want to reorganise your library into the more regular form, which will make it easier to backup and transfer from one machine to another, see this post.

  • Unknown artist and folder issue/itunes mac

    So, for some reason, some albums imported to itunes get sorted in "unknown artist/unknown album" folder on the harddrive. I mean, in itunes they are where they're supposed to, but they dont show up under the right artist folder in Finder/harddrive.
    Is there any way to fix this?
    I ask, because sometimes I try and be clever and do backup, but I just realised that there are hours worth of music that I havent backupped, cause it's hidden in some unknow folder.
    Help?

    When the tracks are added to iTunes, iTunes will file them according to how the files are tagged.

    Keep your library consolidated, and make sure to back up the entire iTunes folder.

  • PLS-00753: malformed or corrupted wrapped unit; Import and Export issues

    I'm new to oracle, please help me with below...
    After a full import as follows:
    imp username/password FILE=dump_file.dmp log=logFile.log ignore=y full=y &
    I face two issues and they are:
    1. I find that a partitioned table is missing. Verifying with the other team(who did the export), i found that they gave a full export. Hence shouldn't all objects of the user be exported?
    What could be the reason for it?
    2. Also there is package which is wrapped, and compiling it gives me this error-
    PLS-00753: malformed or corrupted wrapped unit
    How do i find the reason behind and rectify the same?
    M using Oracle 10g.
    Thanks in advance....

    You can do one more thing if they're not willing to give you export logs/responding slowly.
    You can use the option show=y which will show the structure of the objects in the data dump. But remember this will take time; If your dump is very huge, you have to think twice before using this option.

  • AVCHD File and Folder Issues

    I am trying to import AVCHD files that I recorded from a Panasonic Camera from a SanDisk SDHD 32 GB card into Final Cut Pro X. When I clicked on the card on my mac, the folders went: NO NAME/PRIVATE/AVHD/BDMV/STREAM. I accidently moved the STREAM folder from under the BDMV folder. I fixed this problem, so the structure would be correct again, but Final Cut still will not let me import the .mts files in STREAM. Any help?

    Which version of FCP X? The latest version can open the mts files.

  • ITunes 10.5.3 has import and playback issues

    I cannot add some MP3 to my library using iTunes 10.5.3 software version, but can using earlier software versions. Also some tunes already in my iTunes libabry no longer play in 10.5.3. This seems to be related to some tag information that does not carry across into 10.5.3 because the tunes in my library that dont play do not have the cover artwork as the icon but just the quaver icon. This is annoying! Please someone fix!

    I am having same problem. I want to to take a music video from the Movies Library and export it into the Music Video Playlist at bottom of sidebar. The only thing I can do is to create another playlist. Why cant  I put them directly into the Music Video Playlist provided by Apple? I also tried exporting from desk top and directly import into the Music Video Playlist but it will not allow this, so I am forced to import everything into one of the Itunes Libraries located at the top of Sidebar. [Macbook pro 17'', Lion].

    When importing the mpeg4 video (.AVI files) from my Casio Exilim EX-S600 digital camera with plug in version 1.1 and iMovie HD 6.0.1 I consistently get an unknown error. I use the HQ setting on the camera. Quicktime will play the movies though sometimes they stutter, if you pause, and then resume it seems to playback better. Strange to say the least. Any tips on how I can edit these clips? And get better playback performance in Quicktime? Thanks in advance!

  • File size, importing and tagging issues in making form accessible

    Hello:
    I'm needing to import a Word document into either Adobe Pro X or LiveCycle ES2 v9, while making the form accessible to screen readers. The problem is that the source Word document is 405kb and is a 17 page application form with various sections that were created by using complex tables that contain checkboxes and text and no use of Styles.
    I've since been trying to tag the document myself, but, it looks like all of the content then needs to be tagged for the screen readers to pick up (tried running Read Out Loud, and the non-tagged info was not read), but not 100% certain. Also, it may increase the file size. Only on page 1 and its alread 900kb with tagging.
    I tried importing the Word source document into LiveCycle and received a 1073741819 error and it would not import. \
    If anyone has any insight on how I might import a complex Word form into Adobe Pro X or LiveCycle, tag it for screen readers, and keep the file size accessible, I would appreciate it.

    You can apply at text within Acrobat Pro. In the Tags pane, right click the applicable tag and select Properties. You will see the Alternate Text field on the Tag tab of the Object Properties. There may be other, possibly better solutions such as marking the special characters as artifacts, and applying OCR to the text-as-image - hard to say without seeing a sample document.
    Read Out Loud is not the best tool for checking accessibility, by the way. With 900+ documents to deal with, you might want to try using a screen-reader-emulator such as the one built into the free PDF Accessibility Checker (PAC) 1.3 (http://www.access-for-all.ch/en/pdf-lab/pdf-accessibility-checker-pac/dl132.html)
    Hope this helps.
