"Import failed" message when trying to import iPhoto library to PE11

I receive an "Import failed" message when trying to import my iPhoto library to my trial version of PE11. I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and using iPhoto 11. Anyone able to help? I have tried 4 or 5 times now with the same result.

If you're really sure you want to import the whole iphoto library (which is what that command does), then just export the photos to the desktop, put them where you want to keep them, and use File>Get photos and videos>from files and folders to import them. The 'from iphoto' command makes duplicates anyway, so you aren't losing anything by doing it this way.

  • Error message when trying to Copy iPhoto Library

    I am trying to backup my iPhoto Library from it's location on a WD external hard drive to another WD external hard drive. The Library is 54GB in size. When I try to copy the library, it copies about 1.1GB then I get this message: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
    I have used the Rebuild Photo Library to 1. Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions, and 2. Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup, and it still gives me the same message when I try to copy the Library.
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    There must be a damaged file or files somewhere in the remainder of the Library.
    Try Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. Set the Rebuilt Library onto the external.
    This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • All of a sudden I am getting an "unreadable files" message when trying to import photos to iphoto, how do I fix

    Why am I all of a sudden getting an unreadable file message when trying to import photos to iphoto from the card in my Nikon camera?  I have done this many times before with no problem.

    Can you access the files from Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)?
    Have you tried a USB Card Reader?
    Have you tried reformatting the card with the Camera?

  • Why do I get This message when trying yo import my pictures?

    Why do I get This message when trying yo import my pictures?
    The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9912.)
    Please help, Thanks

    What version of iPhoto are you using and from where (and how) are you trying to import the photos? 
    As a first fix attempt try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and  see if you get the same message.  If you don't then the problem lies with your current library.

  • Error message when trying to import Quicktime movies

    All of the sudden, I'm getting this weird error message when trying to import various Quicktime movies. I've never seen this message before:
    File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown
    Any thoughts why this might be happening? Any input would be appreciated.

    I now see that two of them have been encoded using the AAC, Sorenson Video 3 codec which is not one I've seen before so I suspect that would be it.
    The other one I'm having trouble with is encoded using Integer (Big Endian), Animation. I know I've seen the Integer (Big Endian) codec before so do you think that because it's animation that's a problem? I imported several other uncompressed files that were encoded with Integer (Big Endian) that worked fine so that's my suspicion.
    Tom, you've always been very helpful on these boards for my questions. Thank you so much.

    Error message when trying to import CD into itunes.  "Error occured while converting the file 'name of song' The required disk coannot be found"

    Hi Grigsby9,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. This error usually appears when your iTunes Media folder location is incorrectly configured in your iTunes Advanced preferences. Let’s check these preferences to makes sure that iTunes is point to a folder that exists:
    Locate and organize your iTunes files - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht1391
    Find and change the iTunes Media folder location
    You can change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer.
    1.Mac OS X: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
    Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
    2. Click the Advanced pane.

  • I Get an error message when trying to import cd's

    I keep getting an error message when trying to import cd's - "You don't have write access for your media player"
    I already tried going to the itunes media folder and unchecking the "read only" box but it didn't help.
    I recently changed computers but since then I've copied cd's to my itunes folder with no problems. Now I get this message.

    Try a couple folders up - a parent folder's permissions can cause problems with a child subfolder.
    And don't just rely on the read-only box. Go to c/users/username/music, right-click and get permissions, go to the security tab and make sure your username has full control and ownership.

    Why do I keep getting an "authentication failed" message when trying to join my network?

    You may have to shut your computer off and pull the power adapter from both your ISP's Modem and your Router and wait 5 minutes and restart them in the following order.
    1st your ISP's Modem and wait a minute to get your signal and lights.
    2nd do the same with your Router and again you have to wait the minute.
    Last restart your computer and boot in OSX use Safari.

  • I keep getting an "Update Failed" message when trying to update my apps using Creative Cloud.

    I keep getting an "Update Failed" message when trying to update my apps using Creative Cloud.

    [ Mac 10.9.3 / Indesign CC update fail / Premiere update fail / Adobe Media Encoder 7.2.2 update fail ]
    Adobe Media Encoder was the problem for me. There's no separate uninstaller for AME. My ID CC and Premiere couldn't be updated (for the AME7.2.2 update as the only change). MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework seemed to be the factor.
    I uninstalled Premiere (only), after having manually removed MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework from inside AME. After boot I installed it again and voilà, both (ID & Premiere) updates went trough fine. The MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework was on place inside AME too.

    That would be a good place to start since SMS is strictly a carrier feature.

  • Error message when trying to import photos into Bridge CS5

    Hi, when trying to import photos from a card reader into Bridge CS5, I click "get Photos" and get the following error message: "cannot obtain all files from this device. Please ensure the device is connected properly, or that the battery is charged". It imports a small selection of the images from the sd card but that is all. I'm currently using a Windows 7 desktop computer with plenty of ram.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi station_two, thanks for your quick response.
    I can confirm that its not the card reader/cable, usb port, defective sd card or the computer itself. I have already eliminated all these potential culprits through trial and error using different several ports/cards/readers and even a different computer (although not into bridge).
    I am able to copy the photos from the same card/card reader into Lightroom on the same computer (incidentally, when using Lightroom it uses the term 'Import photos'!)
    I am using a number of Panasonic Lumix Micro 4/3s cameras (GH1/GF1/GX1). The sd cards have a combination of RAW and JPEG and the problem exists whether using 4GB or 16GB cards. I have plenty of space left on my hard drive and as stated, I'm running a fast desktop PC (Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS) so I'm certain this is not the issue.
    Could this possibly be a problem with the cache?

  • Receive an error message when trying to import any videos from iphone to iphoto on my desktop.  Help?

    I have 6 videos on my iphone, varying in length from 24 seconds to 11 minutes, that will not import to iphoto.  I have tried to import them as a group and individually but get a message that 'there was a problem accessing the file.'  I had no difficulty importing over 300 photos from the phone to the desktop.  Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.  Thanks.  Anne

    See if you can use Image Capture to upload the video files to a folder on the Desktop and then import from there into iPhoto.

  • Lightroom Error message when trying to import photos.

    I have a Canon 6D and Apple laptop with latest versions of software that I am aware of. Tonight I tried to import images from Micro SD card (inserted directly into laptop) but each time I am getting an error message stating that it can not read my files. It has previously downloaded files from this camera and memory card. The error message is generally giving the number 337 but has also given 555 and 1. I am not sure what has changed and do not know how to fix it. I have tried leaving the SD card in the camera and connecting it directly to the laptop via the cable and it gives the same message. I have also tried googling these error codes but can't make out specifics of the problem and how to fix it.

    The “Cannot be Read” message when using LR to import directly from the card or camera means the DESTINATION you have specified in LR is not writable by LR.  LR first copies the files to that destination, then LR tries to read the files from there, and it is the second step, the read, that gives the error.
    Check your destination and make sure it is where you intend LR to be importing the files to off the card, and make sure it is writable.
