Import does not see photos

Very strange. Last night I imported as usual a folder full of raw files, and only 100 photos out of 147 imported. I then tried to imports the remaining ones, but import does not see them at all. Actually now import does not see any files, even from folders which I previously successfully imported. If I drag the photos from the folder into a project it imports the photos fine, but the names are not changed, which is a big problem. It does not work when I try to drag the full folder full of photos. How come I can't import any more? I restarted the computer but import still does not see any photos.

Oh my God, how stupid of me. You are absolutely right, I had the "Do not import duplicates" ticked. I must have clicked it by error.
Now I'm not sure why the first time only 100 photos were imported, but it's not important. I'll report next time if I have the same problem importing a large folder.
Thank you so much!

  • ITunes does not "see" photo

    Hi:
    In trying to import photo(s)to the phone, iTunes consistantly ignores/does not see one of the photos. Using Photoshop or a file folder on a WinXP PC, iTunes recognizes all the photos except this one. The photo in question is display-able/copy-able, and both PS and the file manager see it, display it -- and can manipulate it. Have tried to edit it in PS to determine if there is some problem, but it saves it as a jpeg with no problems, etc. The file is a 64 KB image. It will not load either from a folder or from a PS album, while all the other 24 load fine... Is there some "secret" metadata that might prevent iTunes from loading a file?
    Thanks in advance.

    OK, looks like I am making progress. The suggestion to change the one file to .tiff worked! The photo did load to the phone and iTunes counted it in the total (25).
    But deleting the cache (?) created another issue...
    In iTunes once I deleted the cache, then disconnected the phone, then re-connected it, iTunes then indicated no info about the number of photos in the folder. Then when I selected to sync, iTunes reported "currently sync'ed to another library... ...do you want..." (or something like that...). I selected to go ahead and sync. Now there is a rundundant "Photo Library" on the phone with all the same photos in it. How do I remove it/prevent this from happening again?

  • Aperture import does not see files on hard drive

    This happens again and again, and it's EXTREMELY irritating.
    I am trying to import some existing JPEGs on my Desktop. When I try Import in Aperture, the file browser simply does not see most files and folders. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. It seems to happen on a whim. This is very bad, I have just about had it with Aperture. And yes, permissions are set correctly.
    Can anyone figure out on what basis Aperture sees or does not see certain files/folders?

    I am trying to import some existing JPEGs on my Desktop.
    Do you mean your Desktop folder? And is the Desktop folder the only folder that is showing this behaviour?  I have never had problems to open images directly from the Desktop. Have the image files been dropped directly onto the the Desktop or into a subfolder of the Desktop?
    Previous MacOS X versions had problems with a huge number of files on the Desktop because this folder has been treated in a special way.
    Which version of Aperture and MacOS X are you using?
    It might be a problem with permissions or file ownership.
    If the problem with your Desktop folder persists you could try to reset the permissions,ownership, and access control lists on your Home folder as described in Linc Davis's post here:  Re: iPhoto returns OSStatus error -54
    Have you by any chance encrypted your Home folder by File Vault?

  • Aperture import does not see/recognize external drive

    I've searched quite a bit for an answer to this and have come up empty, so I apologize in advance if I simply missed it.
    I am having issues with Aperture not showing a couple external drives in the Import view.  It recognizes my iphones, ipad, SD cards, but not these three external SATA drives, which are formatted NTFS.  The OS sees them as they appear in Finder and I can browse them just fine.
    Any ideas?

    I've been using this application without incident for
    several weeks now; coming over or rather
    transitioning from WIN7 and Lightroom to
    MAC OS and Aperture; Aperture is the best DAM
    I've seen but a little light as a raw image file processor
    IMHO  (so far..that is..I have a whole two weeks of
    working with A3 and nearly 5 years with LR)
    Anyway's I'm referencing files on the TC and importing
    into the Aperture library..there is simply no sign of the import
    browser at the bottom of the import screen.. I wonder if the
    10.7.1 LION update broke something as I did do that update a
    few nites ago and have not tried any imports for a few days..
    just noticed this today as the other poster evidently did..
    I'm going to try a simple import from a USB thumb drive to see if that works..

  • Something went wrong with iPad photo/Video import and now iPhoto on Mac does not see content.

    I just connected my iPad (4.3.2) to my mac (10.5). It launched the synch process for photos and videos and everything went fine. I then clicked on one of the newly imported photos in iPhoto and it choked and ultimately closed the app and gave me message along the lines of "iPhoto quit Unexpectedly." I rebooted the machine and when it came up went to look in iPhoto and saw that the new photos/video were not there. They are still on the iPad (Fortunately!) However when I reconnect the iPad to the Mac it does not see any content to import. In essence it seems to think it did the import and is not aware that it lost the content.
    There's a couple possible solutions I'm interested in. One, are the photos/video somewhere on the Mac and just need to be dug up? I nosed around a bit but found nothing. Then other solution would be is there some way to force iPhoto to reimport what's on the iPad, ignoring that it feels it's already done this?
    Thanks,
    Wil

    Where did these photos come from to begin with? Did you import them from the iPad into iPhoto on your Mac? Is that what you are saying here?

  • I am trying to import i frame from an SD90 video camera to iMovie, but it does not see the camera. Footage goes to i photo Why?

    I am trying to import video ( i frame) from an sd90 ( listed for mac) but i movie does not see the camera. It imports into i photo. Is this normal ?

    If you quit iPhoto and iMovie (with the camera still attached) then put the camera into VCR playback mode. Then launch iMovie and see if it can see the camera. If not, get out the power adapter for the camera and plug it into the wall, plug the camera into the power adapter. Reboot your Mac and wait for iPhoto to launch again automatically. Don't let it import the clips, just say No, quit the program. Then put the camrea int VCR/Playback mode, launch iMovie and check again to see if it can see the camera. Once iMovie sees it the first time it should be quicker to recognize it in future. But iPhoto does try to race in there and grab everything first.
    To turn this off go to iPhoto Menu in iPhoto > Preferences > Look for Connecting camera opens: (click on the pulldown menu and choose No Application) This effectively turns off iPhoto when you first attach the camera. And it opens the way to iMovie recognizing it quicker.

  • I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2.  I am trying to import photos from my older Canon EOS-1D for the first time since my OS upgrade.  iPhoto does not see the camera nor does Image Capture.  IC says there is not a camera connected.  Cable is known good.

    If neither iPhoto not IC can seethe card it might suggest an issue with the card or the ports on the camera/mac.
    Try reformat the card, change the ports and/or use a USB Card Reader.

  • I imported from an SD card onto my iPad air 2, how do I get them into LR? LR mobile does not see them, only sees camera roll not the rest of my photos.  HELP!

  • Hello everyone. I have recently installed a Samsung SSD (solid state hard drive) into my destop PC. For some reason Lightroom does not see it ? So i cannot ingest photos from it, or copy photos from a card to it. It is not listed as a drive option. LR see

    hello everyone. I have recently installed a Samsung SSD (solid state hard drive) into my destop PC. For some reason Lightroom does not see it ? So i cannot ingest photos from it, or copy photos from a card to it. It is not listed as a drive option. LR sees every other drive. My computer sees it fine, so i was able to create a catalogue there. Im running windows 8.1. Any ideas ? I will also add that this drive became corrupt and was repaired by Samsung. Maybe they didn't do a very good job.. ..

    Yes pretty much that, but to clarify sorry
    Opened Lightroom.
    Create new catalogue.
    This opened the Windows 8 file explorer window and Windows recognises the drive. So I was able to create a catalogue there and save.
    I then inserted my memory card into my card reader which LR recognised. I selected it, chose all the photos within and then navigated to the right side of the Lr import dialogue window to locate this problem drive as on this occasion i want the RAW files on the same drive as the lrcat. However all my other drives are listed but not this Samsung SSD.
    In addition this Samsung SSD is not listed a drive to import from in the same dialogue window.

  • HT4101 I have a NIKON COOLPIX P500 but am unable to download photos through the IPad camera connection kit. I have tried to use the Sandisk card also - no result. Any suggestions? The Ipad does not "see" the card or camera?

    I have a Nikon Coolpix P500 but am unable to download photos from it to my iPad2 via the iPad Camera Connection kit. The iPad does not see either the Sandisk 8GB card or the Nikon camera. I have turned the camera on, but it seems that the camera just want to recharge its battery through the iPad as the iPad states that the devices draws too much power?? Anybodu solved this problem yet? Advise please?

    One thing to check is the format that the camera is saving pics to the card in. Many are selectable and, in most cases, if PTP is one of the options then you need to have that one selected for the files to be visible to iOS and the CCK (connection kit).
    Another thing which sometimes comes up, especially with older cameras and therefore probably not with yours, is the filenaming conventions used by the camera. iOS is quite strict about what it expects to see and if files are being stored with unsupported name formats then they simply won't be seen at all.

  • Easy Photo Print does not see Aperture files

    I have a Canon MP640 printer, which gives me really poor results when used with Aperture (3.1.3) so I have been using the print software that came with my printer (Easy photo print EX).  The problem with Easy PhotoPrint, is that this software does not see my Aperture files, even though I have turned on the “View in finder” feature in Aperture.  Can anyone  tell me how to configure my system, so that Easy PrintPhoto will see my files, without having to export every time I want to print

    Ahh ok, that function File->Show In Finder shows the current selection in the finder if it is a referenced image. That's all it does, it doesn't cause any permanent changes to any settings in Aperture or the Finder. Why you couldn't see your referenced files in the finder before clicking this and now you can is a mystery and a coincidence and will do nothing to enable other programs from accessing the images in the library.
    As for turning off color management when you print from Aperture, in the print dialog under the Rendering section
    when you open the Color Profile you can select  Printer Managed.
    Once you set it to Printer Managed you'll see the warning change from Turn off in Printer to Turn on in Printer
    Might be worth a shot if you haven't try it yet.

  • Importer does not recognize already imported photos

    Hello,
    I have a really annoying problem with Aperture 3.0.3. The importer does not recognize already imported photos and wants to import them again and again. This is true for photos from my iPhoneand also for photos from my Nikon. If I enable "Do not import duplicates" then some photos vanish from the importer, when I the iPhone view is open. In the Nikon view not even one photo is recognized as already imported.
    Also very strange is that when I have the iPhone (iOS 4.1 installed) attached to the Mac, Aperture opens the importer automatically and shows all photos correctly - but strangely, both iMac CPUs are at 100% until I click either "Cancel" or "Start import" or I disconnect the iPhone.
    I tried the following without success:
    - Correct permissions on media library
    - Repair media library
    - Rebuild media library
    Imports from my iPhone last very long and seem to hang most of the time. I have to kill Aperture to make it work again all the time.
    To me, it looks like there is something really messed up at the base of this program.
    I have about 20000 files in my library - face recognition is not turned off - most of the preferences are at their default, I think. Did not play around very much.
    Does anybody know what to do? I don't want to lose all my Projects (sorted all pictures into their own projects). But I want to work with Aperture again. When its working, it's a great tool.
    Regards
    Alex

    I've had the same problem. For some things, like videos and photos on my iPhone, I've found as many as 5 copies of the images despite keeping the 'do not import duplicates' checked.
    I've also found a bug with the import function, where if I'm importing from folders on my hard drive, sometimes it finds no images at all (even if they don't exist in my library). Simply cancelling and going back into import and the miraculously appear (including images that have already been imported despite having 'do not import duplicates' checked.).
    I've been going through my library deleting all the duplicates, and managed to free about 10GB of space.
    Having moved from Lightroom the 'technical side' of Aperture seems very antiquated. For example, if I remove a duplicate video - then try clicking on that video in Aperture, it literally takes about 10-15 minutes of spinning disc before Aperture becomes responsive. It also often hangs up on the 'updating previews' when I quit.
    Such a shame aperture is so bad. I really like the functionality - eg. having my photos automatically sync with my Apple TV, but it seems to be absolutely full of bugs.

  • HT201302 I have a large video on my ipad that I would like to transfer to a computer.  But my computer (using various software that came with Windows 7) does not see this video, although it sees all the other videos on my ipad.  This video is too big to t

    I have a large video on my ipad that I need to transfer to my PC (a window 7).  I could also use a windows 8 if that would help.  But all of the applications I have tried do not see this large video (52 mins) even though they transfer smaller videos fine.  The ipad will not let me trim the video, saying it is too large.  This is true even though I only want to trim the original, and not create a new video.  (Actually it refuses before it gets to the choice of creating something new or just eliminating something from the original).  I have been to an Apple store, but the people there only could recommend that I try some alternate applications to do the transfer (Kodak EasyShare).  I don't have much faith this will work.  I think I have this application on an old PC, and it is not something I want on my new computers.
    Is it possibled the size of this video just violates the transfer formats for files over USB?  If so, I will just delete the video and move on.  But the video is really something I wanted to save.  I would be happy to eliminate most of the video, but the ipad will not let me trim it.
    I also tried to import the video with Windows Moviemaker (free with W7).  It also does not see this file, but works fine on the other videos on the ipad.

  • Elements does not see some files

    I have folders in which Elements shows fewer files than Windows Explorer, and I can open the files with Explorer that don't show up in Elements, and Elements does not see them when I try to reconnect or find them.  Why does Elements not see some files, even when you try reconnecting?

    I think I may have moved these files with Elements into a different folder, and then copied them back into the original folder with Explorer, so there are now two copies of the same files with the same names in different folders,
    In this situation, PSE is most likely saying (in its very unhelpful way) that the file you're trying to import is a duplicate of one that already exists in the catalog.   PSE considers a file to be a duplicate if it has the same name, size, and last-modified date/time.  
    If you want a duplicate of a photo in the catalog, select one or more thumbnails and do File > Duplicate.
    What's the reason for wanting the duplicate photos in the catalog? There may be other ways of accomplishing your goal without making duplicates.
