Same "unable to import file" question, but solution did not work for me....

I receive an error message as well and decreasing the size of the photo does not help.
I scanned in images using the canoscan software. I can open the image in preview. The original file is about 4BM. I've save as a smaller 1MB file in Photoshop elements.
I am still unable to import the image into iPhoto.
Any thoughts? Again, the picture looks fine in Preview.

I'm glad you got it to work.
FYI:
If you like editing in Photoshop Elements and would like iPhoto to link your edited version to the original, you can set PE as your external editor in iPhoto's Preferences. Then when you double-click in iPhoto, your pix will open in PE. If you do a straight Save, the edit will appear as the thumbnail in iPhoto. If you do a Save As or rename the file (including changing the file extension) you still have to Save As to the desktop and Import to iPhoto as a new Original. To edit in iPhoto with PE set as your External Editor, simply click on the Full-Screen Edit icon near the Key words icon at the bottom of the iPhoto window.

LR 4.1 RC Does not import files

I use a Lexar USB 3 card reader to import files created by my Canon 5d Mk-II. I click on Import on the lower left corner of LR, point to the drive which displays the files on the card. But when I click on Import LR simply sites there with the progress bar at the top not moving. I waited for quite a while several times and the files did not copy and import. Then I copied the files using Windows explorer to the folder where they are kept and tried to synchronize the folder but that option was not avaliable from the right-click on the folder name context menu. I have to shut down LR and restart before the Synchronize Folder appears again.
Another, and possibly related anomaly is the number of files LR report that could be imported. The number is always wrong. For instance, there may be 25 files sync but it reports something like 172.

A new catalog with nothing in it imported from the Lexar USB 3 compact flash reader. I am traveling abroad and do not have another card reader. However, after the successful import into a blank catalog I imported a few more which hung up as it did in the old catalog. I was able to delete all the imported images ending up with a blank catalog and reimport a couple of sessions in succession. In one of them I observed something but could not replicate: LR imported files that were not marked rather than the few I selected. The ones it seemed to have chosen were short video clips. Since I have not been able to replicate the problem, I am willing to explain that as my error although I was paying particular attention to exclude the video files. I guess that's why this is called "human error"!
If the integrity of the original catalog I was using is compromised what is the solution? This is a rhetorical question since all the files will be transferred to my desktop computer anyway. I tested the sync folder option, which reported 151 new files. I instructed LR to sync thos files and LR went through all the files and ended up with a blank display of files to sync. I optimized the catalog and tried the same, it still shows 151 files to sync, which is obviously not correct.

Now heres the things i have already tried.
1)Reinstalling After Effects repeatedly.
2)updating quick time
3)Deleting the pref file
4)removed any and all plug-ins
5)Deleted the OpenGL file
6)changed by screen resolution.
7)closed down anti-virus programs

10)Restarting my computer after attempting the all above^
I have also been to the general specialist website already thank you very much.
Edit: Now i have also tried uninstalling quick time and all of the video codec packs on my computer, this also didn't help (i did remember to restart afterwards)
Edit: Also, i started a new thread because nothing in any of the other threads on this same or similar errors was at all helpful to me.
edit3: i might also add that i have after effects 6.5 and it works just fine, though its much older.

Using ?import:file? command in a linux Enterprise server

Hello.
I'm with a problem with a template. I never had a client that use linux as OS in enterprise server.
I work with embedded bi publisher in JDEDWARDS and usually i use this command to call dinamic footers and never had a problem. For example
<?import:file:///\\10.153.2.86\BIP\R5543501\footerlastpage.rtf?>. This customer is in linux and dont know nothing about linux but i think that the problem is in this command because linux dont use " \\ " to perform this command \\10.153.2.86\BIP\R5543501\footerlastpage.rtf.
Someone know how i can solve this problem? i tried something like this ( <?import:file://///10.153.2.86\BIP\R5543501\footerlastpage.rtf?>) but still not working and cant find much information in internet about this.
Any help is appreciated
Tks in Adavance
Paulo Duarte

Hi Paulo,
You can import subtemplates this way:
<?import:http://myservername/subtemplates.rtf?> (access over HTTP)
or
<?import:file:///mydirectory/subtemplates.rtf?> (access over File System)
(Notice: http uses two forward slashes // and file uses three /// )
So in your case try this: <?import:file:///10.153.2.86/BIP/R5543501/footerlastpage.rtf?>
Another thing to make sure is set is this:

I lost a really important file (an iText Express document) randomly and then one day, a "recovered file" folder popped up and I assume it has to do with that, but the file just contains a doc with a bunch of coding. What do I do with that? HELP!!!

As the title question states, I lost a really important file with iText Express. I've been using iText Express for a year or two now because it's just the one application I downloaded for writing and saving documents. I was working on one for a few months and randomly one day last month, when I went to open it to resume editing my work, the file was gone! I searched my whole laptop and trash. Then one day, a "Recovered Files" folder popped up in the area my file used to be, so I assumed that was the file I lost being recovered and I felt relieved. But when I opened the folder, the document inside was a "SoftwareMap" document with a bunch of coding written in it. I don't understand what I'm supposed to do with that or how it's going to help me recover my file?!? I lost SO much work!!! If anyone has ANY idea what to do, how this happened, or if the coding is supposed to help me recover my file, PLEASE help!!!

No, I already tried looking at that. The file that recovered was not in the trash, it appeared in my documents folder. I opened it up and inside was an iText Express document with coding. Then inside of there, was and then and this "SoftwareMap" document contained a bunch of coding and symbols and words.

How to store really important files on a Time Capsule

I'm wondering whether it is wise to store really important files on a Time Capsule (apart from Time Machine) because its hard disk is non-removable and non-replaceable and there is no mirrored backup. One could lose everything in the blink of an eye.
What workarounds are there? The TC is a brilliantly simple device, but it seems to have many limitations as well.

i think you already answered your own question
and there is no mirrored backup.
well, there is the archive feature ...
What workarounds are there?
personally, in addition to TM backups to my TC, i use a couple of external firewire drives, each partitioned in two, and bootably clone my Mac's startup disks to those on a weekly basis.
week 1 / drive X = MBP to partition A and Mini to partition B
week 2 / drive Y = MBP to partition C and Mini to partition D
week 3 and so forth = start over.
using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper, you could even incrementally clone your internal drives, which saves a lot of time.
happy computing !

Import Files to SharePoint library via Powershell

Hi,
I'm a newbie to programming and I appreciate anybody who can help me out.
I need to be able to import files from a shared folder to a SharePoint document library on a scheduled basis. I prefer to do this via Powershell.
Here are the requirements:
1. Shared Folder is "D:\For_Upload". There's only one folder where all files for upload will be dumped. There are no subfolders.
2. The SharePoint Document library named "Invoice" is where the files will be uploaded. This library contains a list of folders pertaining to Invoice numbers (e.g. 5200004720, 5200004721, 5200004722, and so on.).
3. The documents to be uploaded will have a filename containing the Invoice number and year. The uploaded document should be dumped to a folder with its corresponding invoice number and year in the document library. If no year is specified in the filename
then it should automatically use the current year.
4. If the said document filename does not correspond to any invoice number in the document library folders, the document will be dumped to another shared folder labeled "D:\Not_Uploaded"
I appreciate anybody who can assist me with this.
Regards,
Terri

Import Files into iTunes: Why not mp3?

I created a simple workflow and saved it as a Finder plug-in. Two questions:
1) Anyone know why iTunes allows (under +Add to Library+) the import of mp3 files, but when creating an Automator workflow using the +Import Files into iTunes+, the mp3 option is not supported. In other words, you have to use a different Automator function like +Add Songs to Playlist+. This works too, but it takes a long time because iTunes has to convert each file to AAC. The +Add to Library+ function in iTunes is wicked fast, and I don't care what format the files are in.
2) After creating a Finder plug-in and wanting to delete it, where does it live? I can't find it. Spotlight can't find it. I just want to remove it.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, red. It seems that +Import Audio Files+ supports mp3, but the description on the +Import Files into iTunes+ doesn't specifically include mp3. I suppose a quick test will reveal. The original reason for the question is that the Automator workflow seems to force a conversion of each mp3 file -- even when choosing the mp3 option in +Import Audio Files+ -- which obviously slows down the process.
When from iTunes I choose Add to Library, navigate to the target folder and click OK, iTunes completes the 80-or-so files in no time.
Thanks for the tip on where to find the plug-in. I deleted it. The Automator desktop apps seem to work better.

Import Movie Question

I am importing a number of .avi files into iMovie. All is working fine but have a question. When the Import is selected and the Import dialog appears there is a choice: move or copy the import file. I don't seem to see much difference in the choice as selecting either one seems to leave a copy of the .avi source in the iMovie folder structure. I am wondering if this .avi is any different than the source file? In my case these files are huge (30 GB) and I don't need to keep the source if the the file in the iMovie directory is the same as the original.

When the Import is selected and the Import dialog appears there is a choice: move or copy the import file. I don't seem to see much difference in the choice as selecting either one seems to leave a copy of the .avi source in the iMovie folder structure.
If working properly, the "Move" option should copy the source file to an Event in iMovie and then delete the original file. The "Copy" option, on the other hand, is supposed to copy the source file to the iMovie Event and also leave the original source file undisturbed.
I am wondering if this .avi is any different than the source file?
AVI actually refers to the file container and the manner in which the audio and video tracks are synchronized by the interleaving of data frames -- i.e., like the way cogs of different sized wheels are meshed together so that if one wheel turns faster, the other will also speed up preventing one from overrunning the other. As long as the original data compression formats are compatible with iMovie '08, then files can be imported at the File level. This import does not change or re-compress the data in any way as in the case of "Import from Camera..." operations in which incompatible camcorder compression formats must be re-compressed and modified so as to be "edit" compatible at the frame level in iMovie '08.

'Import file parsing exception' while importing BIAR file

Hi All,
We use Java WebServices SDK for integrating our product with Business Objects. For installing the reports we use the InstallEntSDKWrapper jar to copy the BIAR file containing the reports on to the BO server. Till now we were using BO XI R2 and everything works fine.
But now we have decided to upgrade to BO 3.0 and the reports install no longer works. Here is the error that we get -
[InstallEntSdkWrapper.main] Connecting to CMS rwc-1950-120:6400 as administrator
[InstallEntSdkWrapper.CmsImportFile] Exception: Import file parsing exception
curred : 'Type info incomplete'
[InstallEntSdkWrapper.main] BIAR File could not be imported
Any idea what might be going wrong here? We are trying to import the same BIAR file that were created with the earlier BO version to the 3.0 version server. Couple of questions that I have is -
1. Do we need to repackage the BIAR with 3.0 before attempting to install it? Are there any issues with trying to install a BIAR which is of older BO version?
2. Do we need to add/modify any library (jar) in the runtime to get rid of the exception?
Thanks for all the help.
Regards
Manas

Trying to import files with transparent backgrounds into Premier Elements 10

I am struggling to import files from Photoshop CS3 into Premier Elements 10 and preserve their transparent background. I have tried .png (8 and 24 bit), .gif and .psd files. I have tried rasterizing the type layer before "Saving for web and devices" but can't get anything to work. The imported files end up as either text on a white background (.gif) or the file imports as a black background with no type visible (.png and .psd). I have read a few forums but can't find any suggestions beyond what I have already tried. I also get the same problem if I "Save for web and devices" out of Illustrator.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Mick

kaare
You have brought up one very interesting maintaining transparency question which I feel goes more to the trigger on the
Premiere Elements Videomerge pop up than to the Photoshop CS2 Save As with or without a check mark for Maximum Compatibility
And, I find that Photoshop CS5.1 as well as CS2 involvement in this matter is the same.
I created three 720 x 480 pixels documents, each with a blue colored circle on a transparent background in
Photoshop CS2 and saved each
psd with check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
psd with no check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
png
Each of them was imported into a NTSC DV Standard Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 64 bit project.
Each triggered the Premiere Elements 11 Videomerge pop up.
If I checked No for the program request to apply Videomerge, then all 3 results were the same, that is,
the area around the circle was transparent and the circle was not...just the way it was created in Photoshop CS2.
So, why was the Videomerge message telling me "Clip being dropped contains solid background color" when
it had transparency represented by black and did not have a solid background color?
Even more interesting was what happened if I selected Yes to the program's request to
apply Videomerge to create transparency for what it claimed to be seeing as "solid background color".
The result was the same for all three cases, that is, the inside content of the circle became transparent
and the "black background" became a "solid color".
Videomerge is not one of my preferred Premiere Elements options.
To avoid the Videomerge pop up, I would suggest placing a check mark next to the "Do not show again.",
followed by No in the Videomerge pop up. When you do, you should not be confused by the activities of the
Videomerge pop up activities and you should have no problems with the maintenance of the Photoshop
created transparency in the Premiere Elements project.

Import file to GUI! Need help!!!

Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding to "importing file". I will appreciate any help!
I want to use text file in my program. What I need is "file path" to the file in computer so that i can read this text file to filter the necessary information to build
objects that i need after that. The file path should be navigated through the file system by user.
What i need is something like JFileChooser. But JFileChooser is too simple. It is very difficult to have extreme makeover.
Is there anyway to just get input that is "file path" to text file without using JFileChoose. What I want is file path only and the user can navigate the file. Simple GUI is enough.
Thank you very much!
Edited by: atemu on May 3, 2009 4:43 AM

The [JFileChooser tutorial|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/filechooser.html] includes a working example of using your own icons for specific types of files. It ammounts to extending FileView and setting it on the JFileChooser via
JFileChooser#setFileView(...);So that's what I did. And for the icons, I return the appropriate icon according to the installed FileSystemView.
import javax.swing.filechooser.*;
import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
import javax.swing.Icon;
import java.io.File;
public class Tester {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        final JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
        chooser.setFileView(new FileView() {
            FileSystemView systemView = chooser.getFileSystemView();
            @Override
            public Icon getIcon(File f) {
                return systemView.getSystemIcon(f);
        chooser.showOpenDialog(null);
        System.exit(0);
}

HT5251 I CAN'T TO IMPORT FILES FROM MY COMPUTER....

THANS for guidelines but how to import files from computer and not from camera? i always receive the error message...

Sorry but we are not mind readers so ONLY know what you tell us
Your profile says you have OS X version 10.6.8 - iPhoto 9.3 will not work with that OS - you do not tell us what version of iPhoto you have
so once again the actual exact error message and a list of what you have tried and the actual versions of iPhoto and of the OS that you are running would be a big help
Then if I post a question to apple support i need a solution otherways...
It is not your English - it is simply not providing simple, basic information - we can not see your system and only know what you tell us - providing incorrect and incomplete information makes it impossible to give valid assistance
