Import error message "-4960"

Using iMovie 4. I have already done this movie, from video clips from my camcorder. I have saved the clips, put them on an external drive, but now I had to bring them back onto my desktop to make another version. Some of the clips will import, but most will not, giving me an error message "-4960". I can't find an explanation in the Support section. Does anybody know what happened to make those clips unimportable?
Thanks,
Nancy
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

What is the file format used on the external drive?
Some Windows formats only allow a 4GB file size or lower.
You may need to reformat the drive using Disk Utility.

Pagegroup import error message

How do I troubleshoot this pagegroup import error message
[11-FEB-05 03:03:01][ERROR] id = NULL context = NULL user = KLIES ORA-01403: no data found ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWUTL_API_IMPORT_PAGEGROUP", line 4296 ORA-01403: no data found
What I'm trying to do is migrate a new pagegroup into a target site. I've gone through the process and added all of the external objects to to transport site.

What is the red x refering to that you reference? I'm currently having the problem that you describe. The local provider imported successfully, but the page group I was trying to import failed to import.
Thanks,

Import error message

I am getting an error message: Could not complete your request because Photoshop Elements does not recognize this type of file" when I attempt to re-import some previously edited (in Elements) jpgs into the Elements editor. I have re-named these files outside of Elements but the Organizer had no problem importing them. There are 11 jpgs and when I try to re-edit them in editor 5 of them will not open and get this message. They are jpgs.....so I am a bit confused of why the editor cannot read them. Please help. Thanks

Sometimes the JPG metadata gets corrupted just enough so that PSE chokes on the file, even though other apps can open it. Open the files in another program, such as XnView and save it from that program. That will re-write the metadata correctly.

Import Error Message continually

I recently updated with the Apple automatic updates. My Iphoto worked just fine until this update and this may simply be a coincidence but now when I try to import photos from my camera, I get an error message. Its the same camera, same hard drive same old same old.
2007-04-01 18:42:23.307 iPhoto[1130] An error occurred while trying to save your photo library. Some recent changes may be lost. Make sure your hard disk has enough space and that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library folder.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. See if this won't let you continue. Also run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions (this if for application and system files).
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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can I get rid of files that cannot be imported error message

Hello, this is my first post. I am a new mac user. I have imported my jpgs from an external hard drive which was in the most part successful, however, 14 of the files appear to be corrupted and every time I open iphoto9, I get the error message, '14 of your files could not be imported, would you like to import them now?' I have tried choosing both options yes and no and it then writes error message telling me it has created recovered photos folder. When you go to this folder it is empty and every time I restart iphoto, I get the same message. I have tried deleting all the files and re-importing only to find that the number of corrupted files has now doubled. I have also deleted the iphotos library recovered photo folders to no avail. I have tried creating a new library and importing the files to that but the same problem occurred. How can I get rid of this repeated error as I am now up to recovered folder number 47! Help!

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
quit iPhoto and right click (control click) on the iPhoto library (in the pictures folder by default) and select the show package contents command - find the import (or importing) folder and drag it to the desktop and launch iPhoto - you should be fine now - open the import(ing) folder on your desktop and if there are any photos you want import them then trash the folder

Never seen Import Error Message .....

New one to me. I'm trying to import some 4:3 SD video that I took several years ago into my HD project. Short 8 to 10 second B roll clips. I get this error message:
The original clip is an .avi clip so I saved it and then converted the copy to a .mpg2 clip. Still no success.
I did a search and found info about pixel size. These are 640X480 clips. How could they be too big ?
Suggestions? Thanks .

Also, do you have all of the updates installed?

HT4489 iCloud import error message

Error message, stating unable to import contact data - this vcard cannot be imported as it contains invalid contact data. I've checked but no good. Please help!

A .cwk file is a ClarisWorks database file, I believe. Problem is, ClarisWorks hasn't existed for a long time. It's possible that Filemaker might be able to open them, as I believe Filemaker used to be a Claris product. I don't know what else might be able to open such a file these days.

SWF import error message

Hello again
I have a flash anination that works perfectly fine when
tested as stand alone, but when imported into Captivate give an
error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
at Testx_fla::MainTimeline/MouseClick1()
what should one be looking into to understand the possible
cause?
many thanks

It''s an ActionScript 3 compiler error as far as I can see.
Just checking but since this is an AS3 Flash component are you publishing your Captivate project as AS3?

Error message 4960

I get this error message when adobe tries to extract the files. Nny clues anyone?
Frustrating because I originally bought Photoshop Elements 11 on disc, only to discover my imac has no dvd drive. So I am trying tot download the free trial to purchase it with my serial number. Thanks for any advice.

Hi islandnews,
This error ususally comes up if the extraction of files was interrupted or the installer package is incomplete or corrupted.
Try downloading it again and check.
Please refer the KB doc to troubleshoot Download Assistant : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/898/cpsid_89867.html
As an alternative, try the direct download links available at : http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
But make sure you follow the important intructions on the page before initiating the download.

"photos found in the iPhoto library that weren't imported" error message

I just bought my first iMac and was introduced to the dark side of the force (Was always a PC user and have never touched an Apple product). I transferred all my photos from my PC to the iMac Pictures folder. Then I dragged and dropped all the folders one by one into the iPhotos icon in the dock. After all the folders were transferred into the iPhoto library, I removed the original photos by dropping all of them into the Trash and thereby cleaning up my Pictures folder.
When I open up iPhoto this message appears every time, "14 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported. Would you like to import them?". It doesn't matter if you choose yes or no. It creates a "Recovered Photos" folder within the Pictures folder and there is nothing in it.
I've tried using Disk Utility in Utilities to "Repair Disk Permissions" but this didn't work.
Does anyone out there know what other options I can use?

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.
Regards

Import error messages

Periodically, I do a complete refresh of my Vendor data using the Import tools. I get a lot of error 41089s which I expect but I also get a lot of error 41106s which I don't understand. 41106 states "+A record that contains identical values to the record you have created already exists. If you would like to enter a new record, please ensure that the field values are unique."+ I would like to have these records overwritten also but I don't know what was wrong with them.
Oracle on-line help is less than useless.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Are you sure your external unique ID's for the Vender record are unique? You will get this error if you are trying to do a overwrite and it finds more than one matching values for the external unique ID.

Error message 4960- problem is not resolved, what next?

Download Assistant keeps saying it is extracting files. it doesn't matter how many times I unistall and reinstall the Download Assistant I can't get it to download the free trial.
The only reason why I want the free trial is because i bought PS Elements 11 on disc, without realising my Mac doesn't have a DVD drive. So i want to use my serial number to purchase it online.
Help! Or I will have to return the disc, get my money back, Adobe loses a customer (forever, it this is not resolved) and I have no way of getting of Photoshop. I also don't want to give Apple extra money to buy a superdrive to read the DVD, I'm quite disgusted they don't put DVD drives in their new iMacs, what a con.

Islandnews first if you have another Mac with an optical drive you can either mount the disc over the network or copy the install files to a USB drive.
Second if the download is continuing to fail please first try implementing solution 1 in Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html#main_Solutio n_1 to reset ADA. You can then try downloading again.
Finally if you continue to face difficulties please try initiating a direct download by following the steps listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369.

Why error message when trying to put in a transition?

Have you tried either of the free Ringtone converter programs - MusicTones or MiniTones?
Both can be found on freewarepalm.com. If you need help with either, I can assist...
