Import directly into trash

I have an interesting problem. I just began importing about 50,000 old photos that I had been putting off for ages. These are old archives, many of which I already imported as part of another project. Since there will be tons of duplicates, I decided to import them as a separate Library and sort through the junk and dupes before bringing them in to my main Library (I operate with a single Library).
So, after creating a new Library, I selected Import>Folders as Projects and then selected the Folders. Everything began normally, with a project being created for each archive folder. But then, as each project completed, it was immediately sent to the trash. Needless to say, I said huh? and canceled the import. Then I just dragged the root folder in from the Finder and everything seemed to go normally. This is proceeding as I write, so we'll see how it goes.
Very weird. Any thoughts? I'm submitting feedback now.

Bump.

  • Configuration to allow a LEDES file to be imported directly into AP

    Does anyone know if there is any configuration possible to allow a LEDES (Legal Electronic Data Exchange Standard)  file to be imported directly into SAP Accounts Payable?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Problem solved ............  as I sort of suspected.
    Today I acquired another card reader and guess what, FCP X imports the 50p footage perfectly.
    The findings I get with my Panasonic SD800, which are probably representative of most cameras are as follows:-
    1. When the camera is plugged into my iMac, FCP X will only recognise and import normal AVCHD video but not 1080/50p even when shot on a separate card.
    2. With the SDHC card plugged into a card reader, FCP X recognises and imports 1080/50p
    3. Also when using the card reader, there is no problem mixing AVCHD and 1080/50p on the same card as FCP X recognises both sets of clips simultaneously.

  • Crashes while importing TIFFs.  Also, how to import directly into an album?

    Just got Aperture last night in the mail. Upgraded to 1.1.1.
    I have about 250 CDs with TIFF images that I've created over the years. The TIFF files were created by a Nikon film scanner. Some of those images were later re-touched and re-saved using Photoshop.
    In any event, I started importing all those CDs into Aperture to consolidate all my photographs in one place. On the first CD, Aperture crashed unexpectedly for no reason. The Aperture database would also get corrupted and I would have to delete it, and start from scratch.
    Here's what I discovered. If I wait for Aperture to generate a thumbnail of all the images in the CD before I click on the "Import All" button, there are four images in the CD for which Aperture does not generate a thumbnail. Furthermore, if I tried to import the same CD into iPhoto, all files but those four would get imported. At least iPhoto doesn't crash, and after the import is finished it would tell me that four photographs could not be imported because the format was not recognized. The interesting thing is that Photoshop can open every single file on the CD (again, all of them are TIFF images)
    So my (painful) workaround is to import all my CDs into iPhoto first, and then import into Aperture from iPhoto, which works very well. That way the Aperture repository doesn't get corrupted.
    So, question 1: does anybody know if there's a special setting in Aperture that would stop it from crashing and gracefuly skip over any photographs that it can't recognize?
    Question 2: I want to import every single CD into its own album so I later know what CD I can find the image on. Aperture seems to import always onto the project, not the album. Is there a way around this?
    When I import into iPhoto, I create an empty album and then drag the files from the CD onto that album. If I then import the iPhoto album into Aperture, Aperture automatically creates an album, which is nice. I'd love to do the same but with iPhoto out of the picture (excuse the pun). That would speed up the import process tremendously.
    Thanks for your help,
    Julian

    Are there two questions here?
    1. You can indeed create an album under a Project in advance and Import direct to that. One Album per CD? Works fine. Just point the Import Arrow at the Album. NOTE: the Masters are actually held in the Project (this is true across Aperture) and Pointers are held in the Album .... but the effect is of Albums with photos > Project containing all the photos.
    2. These TIF files are not corrupt, if Photoshop or iPhoto opens them. This has got to be an Aperture bug and I have the same issues with TIF's. Created a thread about it, so I hope the Aperture development team did read it (please, please, please). You could convert in Photoshop to .PSD vs. resaving (unless this is what you did) as I haven't noted this problem with .PSD files

  • Is there an easier way? Import directly into a playlist?

    I am in the middle of ripping all of my 5000+ cd's into iTunes as Apple Lossless files. I'm creating a music server with a Mac Mini, a few 1TB firewire hard drives & a Fubar II dac. I have about 500 done so far and it is becoming a handful. I insist on using playlists because I listen to lots of weird music with a lot of the artists using aliases so I want to be able to group them all together.
    This is what I've been doing. I create a few hundred blank playlists. I import my cd making any changes first using command & I. I then scroll down to where all the untitled playlists are. I then have to scroll all the way to where the songs that were imported are listed alphabetically.I choose them using shift & the mouse dragging them to an untitled playlist. I do it this way because if I found by titling the playlist while it was importing and placing it where it sits alphabetically I was taking to much time trying to drag those tracks to the correct playlist. I was also occasionally dropping them in the wrong playlist altogether.
    Is there really no way to automatically create a playlist using the artist and album info that you set up or what is automatically generated with cddb? Or can I really not create what I want my playlist to be titled and import the cd directly into it? I can't seem to solve this by using a smart playlist either. Any recommendations?

    Here's what I've been doing for years. Its against the grain but so what.
    I have 10,000 ripped files. From this I selected 2265 mp3 files(call these my Favorites) which always get "added to library" whenever I re-do my computer(s) which is very often(my hobby).
    I use the Finder to organize my Music first not itunes. So I make folders and call them for example Metal, Jazz, etc ...within these folders become Artist names for example Beatles, Who , etc....I delete anything that is ahead of the name of the song(such as track number, its embedded anyway), Why? so it fits better in the smallish 'window' of music car player, etc...So what do I have ? A folder with 2265 mp3 files without track numbers and only my favorite mp3 files.
    When I re-do the computer I just set up itunes always unchecking in "advanced preferences" for it to organize and make copies. I do that not itunes. I add to the library. Wait for itunes to do its thing. Set the view options. The only ones I do are, Artist, Album, bitrate, size, Grouping, time & equalizer.
    Once the add is done I do that not itunes automatically, I focus on the Grouping. Examples are Metal, Folk, Smooth Jazz, etc I set these up years ago using itunes. The mp3 hold these id tags except equalizer. I select the Grouping column to arrange the sort, takes 1 second. Then do a select all by grouping and an command + i to set each Grouping equalizer all in one shot. When Equalizer function is completed for all the files then I make playlists. My Playlist is the same name as Grouping, for example Metal Grouping gets Metal playlist. That way I can find the entire Group of Metal and drag them to the playlist. All this sounds complicated, but how to explain? The entire process when I re-do my Mac takes 5 to 10 minutes. The hard work is setting up your MP3 files in the Finder but once done you only need to back up those files. iTunes is out of it. Lastly make sure you id3 tag your files when done in the itunes library using view and setting options. Make sure you drag these tagged files back to your original drive where you back them up. So they retain their tags you gve them.
    Hope this helps

  • IFrame import DIRECTLY into iMovie 11

    How do I import iFrame video DIRECTLY into iMovie 11?  I recently upgraded from iMovie 09 to iMovie 11.  Also, I bought a new camera (Canon) and it has
    iFrame.  I recorded a test video in the iFrame mode.  I opened iMovie.  If there is a way to get iMovie to grab the video directly from the camera, I cannot find it.  Previously I used a Panasonic Lumix.  iMovie 09 would grab the AVCHD directly from the camera. I found a workaround to get the iFrame directly into iMovie, but it entails an extra step.  (the iFrame video showed up in Iphoto 11 along with the stills.  I then moved it from IPhoto to imovie via the desktop.)
    Surely there is a way for iMovie 11 to grab the video directly from the camera, and I am missing it.  I am running Mt. Lion.   Please help.  Thank you.

    I drag the movie from iPhoto to the desktop.  Then, in iMovie, I use the "file" dropdown menu.  From that menu, I select "Import" and then I select "Movie" and then I select the movie that I have just dragged to the desktop.  It would be easier if I could drag the desktop movie directly into my iMovie, but it will not drag.

  • WIA import direct into Photoshop *NO FILE CREATED*

    This is driving me nuts and I cannot seem to find anything regarding it. I'd use TWAIN happily, but my scanner doesn't seem to have a 64-bit twain driver. So I'm stuck with WIA. But, the thing that drives me crazy is that WIA always creates the file with an arbitrary name and format which I always end up having to delete later. I much preferred the old TWAIN method that just scanned it directly to Photoshop without any file made until you saved it from Photoshop. So, this may actually be more of a Windows M$ question than Photoshop, but I'm giving it a shot here.
    Is there anyway to scan directly into Photoshop CS4 64-bit without WIA creating a file at all?

    There are no 64 bit TWAIN drivers on Windows.
    I think the WIA interface from Microsoft always creates an intermediary file.

  • Photo Stream import directly into Library (consolidated)?

    I have just started using Photo Stream with Aperture and it's a wonderful feature, however something prompted me to look for the original photo and I couldn't see the usual "Open in Finder" option, which said to me it was Consolodated. Now, I don't mind, because I Consolidate my Library anyway, but was wondering if this actually happened.
    It seems that the guide here is a little out of date now as Adjustments can be performed on the streamed photos without "importing" them, however that's achieved?
    ref: http://www.tuaw.com/2011/11/06/deep-dive-aperture-and-photo-stream-how-do-they-w ork/
    I was able to export the photo, as one normally would with a Consolidated Library, but I am wondering if that was from an online supposerty or not?
    Anyway, if the Photos are Consolidated then that is yet another step taken care of and I am certainly greatful for that, not least because all iOS devices capture GPS info too, things just get better!
    If someone can clear this up for me that would be great, thanks.

    The confusion is due to your use of Photo Stream image : When you (auto)-import from the Photo Stream you have two different image versions -  the Photo Stream copy of the image and the imported image, that is no longer in the stream.  And as Frank Caggiano says, you can only edit the imported image version in your Aperture library, not the Photo Stream image. Trying to edit a Photo Stream image will result in this message - at least, that is what I see in my library:
    "This photo is in Photo Stream and cannot be edited. You may edit the last imported version in your library."
    A photo Stream image is not part of the Aperture library - it can only be browsed using Aperture.
    To convince yourself, that the imported image is truely managed and not referenced, select the monthly imported project and set a filter in the search field with the rule: "File status is managed".
    All images in the project should still be showing and not be removed by the filter.
    Frank Caggiano I think you're confused. The images are in the Stream, they are always there, but they appear (as in William Lloyd's photo example) in Aperture, yes I do have them set to be imported, but they very well couldn't be seen within Aperture unless I did so.
    It is still not clear from your post, where you are trying to view the Photo images:
    In the "Web > Photo Stream"  section of the library inspector, where the Photo Stream can be viewed,
    Or in the "Projects" section, where you can browse the images that have been imported to Aperture.
    Are you saying, that the "Web > Photo Stream" section of the Library Inspector did not show your Photo Stream images, until you enabled automatic import?

  • Will BusinessView + BIAR from XIr2 import directly into 2008 Server?

    Customer is looking to deploy on Windows Server 2008 and wants to use Crystal Server 2008.  Can they import the Business View and BIAR files from an XIr2 installation or do the individual reports need to be upgraded first?  Note that they will not have an existing XIr2 server - just the Business View and BIAR files that are from a XIr2 server.

    No one - yes - if you're excluding any but the Crystal Reports Designer people hanging out in this forum.
    You might try over at Business Objects -> BusinessObjects Enterprise Admin forum for migration questions.

  • How do I import an Iphoto Project (book) directly into Aperture 2?

    I have a book that I did as a project in iPhoto '08 that I would like to import directly into Aperture 2 and "redo" the book using Aperture's new features.
    Although I imported my iPhoto library I don't seem to have this project in Aperture and when I look to export the project from iPhoto it wants to export it as a movie.
    Since the photos from iPhoto are in Aperture I figured that importing the iPhoto project would be easy. I don't want to recreate the book again if I can help it - I just want to import and modify it in Aperture.
    Is it possible to do and can anyone tell me how to do this?
    Thanks,

    You CAN completely customize the text in iPhoto books, including left/center/right justifications, and it is fairly easy. Here's the workaround:
    1) In your iPhoto book (or calendar or whatever) layout, highlight the text you want to modify or change its alignment.
    2) Launch TextEdit and open a blank document. Paste the text from iPhoto into the document.
    3) Still in TextEdit, highlight your text. Using ordinary word processing methods, modify or realign your text as desired. When satisfied, highlight the customized text and copy it.
    4) Back in iPhoto, paste the newly modified text you just copied from TextEdit into the desired text box, overwriting (or deleting first) the original text. All the modifications you made in TextEdit should apply.
    This trick can work wonders for helping make an iPhoto book completely your design.

  • I need a digital camcorder that imports direct to iMovie - any ideas

    I have been using a MiniDV JVC camcorder to import direct into iMovie - worked great but the camcorder heads are now worn out. So I use an Hitachi HD flash card camcorder that outputs AVI files. I then have to convert through Handbrake to get a useable file for iMovie.
    This is much too slow as I produce lots of short video for customers - is there a better direct camera to get files straight into iMovie or should I use different software on the mac?
    Last resort, I have been told to buy a pc to use for producing edited DVD movies - I don't really want to move off the mac - HELP?

    Wow...good question.
    Do your FCP setups have capture cards? You could send a signal from the toaster machine to FCP via the capture card and recapture the footage in FCP. Will take a while, but it should work.
    Tough working with proprietary formats.

  • What cameras will import directly to iMovie?

    Years ago I used a mini-tape firewire camcorder that imported directly into iMovie. Since I switched to cameras that record both video and still images, I must transfer all videos from iPhoto to iMovie (a real pain since I take a lot of video).
    I am in the market for a high quality, HD video camera, but I want to be able to import directly into iMovie. I am willing to splurge so price is not an issue.
    Any suggestions??

  • Record directly into iMovie?

    I was wondering if I could set up a camera, and record directly into iMovie. I have a long program I need record, and would love to record (import) directly into iMovie.

    Yes you can. But there may be occasional short pauses while your Mac "takes a breath" and indexes what it's storing on your hard disc, etc.
    Remember that DV video takes up about 13 gigabytes of space per hour, so you'll need that much free space on your disc per hour of recording, and keep about 10% of your total hard disc space free, so that your Mac can still do its internal housekeeping.
    You'll need, of course a camcorder with a FireWire/DV/i.Link connection (..all the same thing; just different names for it!..) which generally means a tape-based miniDV camcorder.
    (..Although hi-def HDV camcorders have the same FireWire connection, and record onto the same miniDV tape, there's quite an 'overhead' of processing power which your Mac requires in order to convert the incoming hi-def video into the 'Apple Intermediate Codec' format which lets iMovie edit hi-def, so I'd stick with standard-definition DV if I were you!..)*
    Depending on the make and model of camera, you may need to put a tape in the camera - or not - and switch it to either Record or VCR mode. (..In a quick test here I've just turned on my Sony camera in 'Camera' mode with a FireWire cable connected, and iMovie is displaying the picture from the camera, and imports it when I click iMovie's "Import" button..)
    "..I have a long program I need record.." ..erm, if you're pointing it at a TV screen to record that, you'd want the camera on some sort of support, and - if you have Manual Focus - you may want to de-focus slightly to avoid the moiré pattern which you might get from tightly focused dots (pixels) on the screen. You'd also want to adjust the camera's White Balance so that the screen looks the right colour!
    *P.S: hi-def HDV takes up more than 13GB per hour, so if you were to use hi-def HDV you'd need to allow much more (..up to 4x more..) hard disc space per hour of recording!

  • Trouble importing video into iMovie from External HD

    I have video from my Panasonic Full HD camera.  I have already transferred the video off the camera and onto an external hard drive.  When I try to import the video into iMovie those files are grayed out.  Does anyone have any idea how to make this work?
    It is all my video of my son's first year since birth!

    It is very important that when you transferred the video off the camera, you kept all files and folders from the camera. If you did, you can open iMovie and use FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA ARCHIVE and navigate to the folder that contains the contents that you removed from the camera.
    In the future, open iMovie and use FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA. This will bring up an import screen. There you can click a button that says Create Camera Archive. This will automatically get you all the files you need off the camera, and it gives you a good backup.
    You can also import directly into iMovie from this screen.
    If you did not preserve the contents of the camera - for example, you just copied the .mts files, but did not copy the rest of the files and folders, you will need a third party app to convert the .mts files so that iMovie can read them. Two apps that people use for this are ClipWrap and Voltaic HD. They are pricey, but if you did not copy the full camera contents, this may be your best bet.

  • Problem - I can import from mailbox but not scan directly into PDF

    Hi guys,
    I hope you can help.
    I have a Xerox 7132 printer/scanner/copier which has been set up and working on a small office network for a while now. Recently two users of four have found they can no longer scan directly into Acrobat Standard 9 from the application. (The other two are fine and can do everything as before. One is using Acrobat Standard 9 and the other Pro X).The two who have the problem are able to scan to email. They can also scan (from the scanner) to a mail box. However if they stay at their machines and using Acrobat choose to create PDF - scan etc. etc. and then choose to hide native menu, when they click scan an error pops up which simply says - 'PARAMETER'. Not Bad parameter or anything else, just the one word - PARAMETER.
    I found a few bits and pieces on 'Bad Parameter' which state the fix as selecting the scanner. In this case the scanner is selected - 'Xerox Network Scanner'.
    I can ping and find the scanner. I can print to it. I can scan into a mailbox. I just lost functionality to print direct from the Acrobat Standard 9. I have to first  scan the item into a mailbox, and then import it into Acrobat.
    I'm running XP Pro SP3.
    Acrobat is version 9.5.2 and it is fully updated.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I can't tell you why the 3G isn't recognized by FCP and I have no way to test whether it's normal since I don't have access to that model. But just to suggest that you use Image Capture to bring the clips  into your computer and then import those into FCP. An extra step, but FWIW, that's the workflow I use for the 4S – even though it appears in the import window.
    As for your missing Desktop listing, I have experienced that and as I recall I trashed preferences and it reappeared. BTW, I assume shows properly in your Finder sidebar?
