Import failure and temporary files

Hi, I'm trying to import my photos from my iPhone into Aperture using the Import function. During the import process, it creates a temporary file, like "..importing.IMG1721.JPG" onto my photo folder, and then continues to say "Importing" indefinitely, so I need to do a force quit on the application. So now two problems:
1) how can I remove these temporary files Aperture has created? When I do a Get Info on them, the permissons say Unknown Access. I can't drag them to Trash or rename these files either?
2) is the iPhone importing a known bug? Note my setup is as follows:
- my files in Aperture are referenced instead of managed
- my photo files are stored on an external drive connected thru my Airport Extreme
- I have no problem importing photos from an SD card to my external drive using Aperture's Import
- as a workaround, I can tell Aperture to import the photos from the iPhone to a local folder, then manually copy the files from the local folder to my external drive and then do a "reconnect all" in Aperture, though this process is time-consuming and something I want to avoid.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

The m4v can be converted using Compressor. The Unix file is more of a problem. See if you can fnd something that opens it. Try the QT player first. If not you'll need to get it in a proper video format.
Can't tell you what to convert it to without knowing complete and exact specifications of the media.

  • Importing PDF and Photoshop files since using Windows 7 64bit

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded (?) to Windows 7 64bit.  I have notices when importing PDF and photoshop files into the InDesign document, the resolution of the graphics are off and the lines are choppy.  Even the fonts are illegible.  What happened?  Are there some settings that I need to into and tweek to bring everything back into alignment and focus?  (If those are the correct words.)  When I view the PDF files in windows, they are normal.  It is only when imported into InDesign that they are distorted.
    Thank you for any help.
    Clark

    I run Maximized, so the window fills the available space (you can set the shortcut properties to open that way so you don't have to do it each time), or you could resize the window from the top, then grabe the title bar and drag it upward on the screen. Windows should remember the size and position, but it may not, being Windows, after all.

  • Import .pdf and ai file in indesign cc

    Hi,
    I'd like to know if there's a way to import pdf and ai files in indesign cc 2014?
    Thanks

    If you're asking how to use a PDF or ai as a graphic in InDesign, File>Place is what you want. If you're asking how to manipulate the elements of a PDF or ai after it has been placed in InDesign, that's not how it works, although you can turn layers on or off in a placed ai file if you go to Object>Object Layer Options.

  • HT4622 How to import .band and .mid files into GarageBand for iOS

    Using GarageBand for MacOS X, I have no difficulty importing and playing .mid (MIDI) files.  Indeed, I can even rename .kar (Karaoke) files to .mid, import them into GarageBand for MacOS X and see the lyrics along with the score.  Using File Sharing for iOS apps in iTunes.app, I have tried to import .mid and .band files (made from .mid files with GarageBand for MacOS X) using this mechanism.  I get no errors but it doesn't seem to work.  That is, neither the .band file nor the .mid file are accessible from within GarageBand for iOS as far as I can tell.  What should I be doing instead?

    As I understand it GarageBand for iOS .band projects can be imported to GarageBand for OS X, but the reverse isn't true. GarageBand for iOS does not import midi files.
    The File Sharing section of iTunes doesn't validate the files you put into it, but if the app doesn't like the structure of the file it will just ignore it.

  • Importing .MOD and .MOI files to iMovie - from JVC EverioS GZ-MS100

    I'm desperate in finding a solution on the problems I have with importing .MOI and .MOD files to iMovie from a JVC EverioS GZ-MS100.
    I have looked up all advices I can, also on this forum... But nothing seems to work for me at all!
    PLEASE someone tell me asap how I can get my videos to iMovie so I can start editing my videos...
    Thank you so much in advance!!
    I have iMovie '09 version 8.0.6 (821).

    The Zi6 is not on the compatibilty list however I based my knowledge on this review at macworld.com
    http://www.macworld.com/article/135948/2008/10/kodakzi6.html
    "To copy your captured content to the Mac, flip out the USB connector, switch on the camera, and jack it into a free USB 2.0 port. If you have the latest version of iPhoto, it launches and offers to import the separate video and image files. If you don’t have the most recent version of iPhoto, you’re welcome to import files into iMovie ‘08 with the File: Import Movie command, or into iMovie HD via the File: Import command. Each command produces an Import navigation window, where you can locate the movies on the attached camera (within the DCIM folder).
    The Zi6’s movies are encoded in the H.264 format; as a result, there’s no need to install another codec to use them as you would for movies recorded with the Flip cameras, because H.264 is natively supported by QuickTime (and therefore iMovie and Final Cut Pro). Audio is recorded in the AAC format at 48 Kbps."
    So this suggests iMovie 08 will accept the file format the Zi6 porduces. I will attempt file conversion before I loose iMovie 06 though.

  • Importing sf and sd2f files?

    How do i import sf2 and sd2f files into GB2?
    Also is there a good website for learning about different file types?

    You can find sound fonts here:
    http://www.sf2midi.com/index.php
    http://www.hammersound.net/
    http://www.fox-gieg.com/rkhive/synth.html
    After you download them put them in the following path:
    HD/User/Your Home/Library/Audio/Sounds/Banks.
    Thats were I put mine SoundFonts after I DL them.
    I keep the "Banks" folder in the left side of the finder window (don't know the name of that area) so I can just drop my font into it without having to open all those folders everytime. I keep the "Components folder there also for the same reason.

  • NOT ABLE TO IMPORT MUSIC AND VIDEO FILES FROM IPOD TO COMPUTER/ITUNES LIBRARY !!!!

    Hi.... I am having IPod Nano 5th Generation. I can access music and video files (that are stored in Ipod memory) in Ipod. But when I connect the ipod to computer, I am not able to access/import these music and video files through computer. Also, I am not able to see any folders like DCIM, Contacts, etc... in the memory of IPod. Can any body help me out... ?

    Search it up on google.com.  There's a lot of apps that will help you do this.  Check out this one:
    http://www.imtoo.com/ipod-computer-transfer.html
    You can also check out this video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWvYo6Gcq44
    I tried the import software (trial version) and it was fine but I didn't want to pay for software.  You can authorize up to 5 computers in the house to access your iTunes music and other iTunes purchases. Open iTunes, you can go under Store and select Authoize this computer.
    Good luck!

  • Font.createFont() and temporary files

    Hi,
    I have a servlet which uses the Font createFont(int, InputStream) method to overlay text on an image, which is sent to the client.
    However, each time this method is invoked, a copy of the font as a temporary file is stored in c:\windows\temp. Closing the input stream has no effect, and the files only seem to disappear once JBoss/Tomcat is shut down.
    Once the font is read and rendered, it is no longer required; how does one signal that this temporary file should be removed? I cannot believe that there is no mechanism designed to programmatically remove these.
    (as a possibly amusing sidenote - I recently went on holiday for two weeks and had temporarily commented out the lines to cache already-generated images. I came back to find 6Gb of temporary files, all of them being copies of Verdana.ttf!)
    Thanks,
    Matt
    PS. Yes, I realise that it's inefficient to be reading the font file every time I invoke the servlet - I will change this, but I still dislike the thought of having useless temporary files floating around.

    Thank you both so much for your help; I've upgraded from 1.5.0_06 to 1.5.0_08 and the temporary files are now correctly garbage collected.
    There are several reasons why I am using an InputStream for loading the Verdana font; firstly, I believe it is best practice to write code that is platform-agnostic where possible. Secondly, I prefer to bundle dependent resources in the software itself rather than rely - or hope - on the target system having what the software is after (within reason, of course).
    However, the pragmatic answer is that since Java's font kerning capabilities are less-than-desired (non-existant, even?), I am using iText to calculate font kerning. iText reads the ttf file itself, so rather than have a hard-coded reference to c:\windows\fonts\verdana.ttf (ick!) I decided to bundle the font with the software.

  • CS6 File import failure,Error "The file has no audio or video streams"

    But this mp4 file I can play with media player.My OS info:

    RAM:8G
    sorry for my bad english.
    Please Help!Thanks.

    I'm sorry.. I'm not good with terms and specs.
    All I know is.. I'm not doing nothing different that I always did with Premiere CS5.5 and CS5.
    > record
    > connect camera
    > copy .mp4 from SxS to my HDD
    > import with Premiere CS5.5
    BUT... When I try to import that exactly same file, all I get is:

  • When I import TIF and JPG files with same metadata, only the TIF files are imported. How can I change that?

    I have imported and renamed TIF and JPG files with the same metadata re recording date and time. Only the TIF files are imported, the JPG files remain unimproved. Thus I have in the Finder e. g. 13 image files in the same folder in which Lightroom only finds 10 files. Any ideas for resolution welcome!
    Thanks

    Turn off the option Preferences > General > Treat JPEG Files Next To Raw Files As Separate Photos.  Then do an import again.  It appears that, in this instance, LR considers a TIFF to be a "raw" file.

  • Ldapsearch -t option and "temporary files"

    The MAN page shows
    "A single -t writes retrieved non-printable values to a set of temporary files."
    I am using a single -t and the attribute I am returning shows like "cACertificate::" where the :: implies it is binary.
    But I can NEVER find where the file for the "temporary files" is created.
    Normally on Linux/Unix I would expect to find these it /tmp.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks -jim

    Ok, mkstemp (which is the C call being used underneath the ldapsearch -t and -tt switches) returns a "safe" temporary file path, which means the man page is +way wrong+ here.
    The temporary files are logged under +/var/folders/{random stuff expunged}/ldapsearch-objectClass-XXXXXX+ and which means (if you want this to go somewhere else) then you'll want to use -T /var/tmp or whatever.
    The target file locations for the various chunks are displayed when the following syntax is used:
    ldapsearch -LLL -x -h ldap.example.com -b "dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=com" -tt
    Related commands (and useful Google search targets) include:
    $ getconf DARWINUSER_CACHEDIR
    $ getconf DARWINUSER_TEMPDIR
    Whether logging a radar against the documentation is in your future or mine is an open question.

  • Importing jpg and CR files from HD

    I have just started using Lightroom 4.4. In importing jpg or CR files from my HD,  I get "Preview unavailable for this file", although: 1) the jpg files were generated by using Photoshop CS4, 2) these photos can be "seen"  by Photoshop elements 11 and iPhoto. Any help?
    Mike

    It is not a work around - it is a better workflow - shooting RAW plus JPEG and then deleting the JPEGs make no sense and have no value - shoot what you want and when you shoot RAW Photos makes a JPEG which you can access or export should you need it - shooting both is a waste of time, SD card space and disk space
    to delete the JPEGs you can make a smart album with the criteria Photo is JPEG and delete the JPEGs by selecting a photo or photos there and holding down the command and motions keys and pressing delete
