Import from SD card interrupted - all images lost on card

Hi LR friends,
I imported dng-files from a 2GB SanDisk into LR but noticed after about 70 images that I had selected wrong numbering (starting at 99 instead of 1). So I clicked on the button Cancel in LR (the X on the top left of the screen).
It stopped and I started again with correct number. But no files could be found on the card! I checked with MS Explorer, no files either. I tried 2 different recovery programs (one called recuva). Both programs recovered all files, no error messages.
So I started again but LR imported only the first 14 images plus an image 22 or something like that. All other images were grey in the preview and not imported. I tried it twice and also with PS Elements 6, error message: "file format unknown" (in German).
The files are listed correctly as dng-files. I use XP Pro (up to date) and LR 1.3 (not 1.3.1). I would be grateful for any help! Thanks in advance!
Wolfgang

I use an SD card and checked it with MS Explorer, no error messages, neither with the restore programs, so I assume it is ok.
In LR I tried to import the files: Copy to new location (on hard drive) plus parallel backup copy to another folder. Seemed to work ok until I clicked in LR on the "cancel import". Import stopped.
I deleted the imported images (if I remember correctly I used the LR function) as I wanted to have them in the same folder but with correct numbers.
Started again to import but as mentioned above, no images could be found by LR on the card. Checked with MS Explorer - no error messages, but no files, all 1.88 GB free on card.
Used two different recovery programs, both recovered all 99 images and copied them to a folder on the hard drive.
Tried again with LR to import from hard drive folder. All 99 image file names appeared in the preview, but all images apart from the first 14 plus image 22 were completely grey (as the frame). And only the 14+1 were imported.

I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this

I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this?
I have iPhoto version 9.1.5 (615)
Mac OS X version 10.6.8
I want to do this because when I imported from my old hard drive there was an error message stating that 12 photos were not imported as the programm did not recognise the format even though they were jpegs like the other photos in that particular album. The dates of the photo folders are wrong I have multiple copies of photos and every time I start iPhoto I get the following message 12 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported would you like to import them No or Yes
if you press Yes the same message comes back again and if you press Yes again the program flicks to last import for 2 seconds and then opens events.
if you press No the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user/judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos then if you press OK the original message 12 photos have been found.............
if you press No at this point the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user /judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos_11 the end number goes up by 1 every time you go through this process
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
For the annoying start-up message:
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.

I moved from MobileMe to iCloud and all my contacts are lost! The only contacts I now have are from my Exchange account. Any help please. I tried "Import from SIM" but as all my contacts were on MobileMe, they're all gone!!

The only contacts I now have are from my Exchange account. Any help please. I tried "Import from SIM" but as all my contacts were on MobileMe, they're all gone!!

that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore.

I had a library of 500 songs,some purchased some imported from cd's i have since lost in a fire. I only have purchaed music in library. Does that mean I have to purchase music match to include any other music?

I had a library of about 500 songs, some purchased and some imported from cd's I have since lost in a fire. Only the purchased ones now appear in my itunes library. Does that mean iI have to subscribe to music match in order to have all of my music in my itunes library? I still have most of the songs on my iphone. I use a pc.

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

Import from camera not showing preview images

When I import from my DSLR, I see empty boxes representing all the images on the card but no preview. I'm set to import JPEG and the images are JPEG. I have the option Do Not Import Duplicates turned off. I've tried restarting Aperture (3.1) and even restarting the iMac (10.6.5) but to no avail. Does anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Cool this is good, 1 you can still access images and two you have identified Aperture as being the issue. The next step is to do some basic maintenance on your system, have a read of the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics at the following link.

Trouble shooting is about eliminating possibilities, so step through each of these, although unlikely, it is usually the unlikely causing the issue. If it were obvious you would not have asked the question.

After Import in LR 4.2 all images have development modifications

When I import images no matter if RAW or JPG, when I go to the development module all images have various modifications on all slidedrs from exposure to saturation. I haven't changed any settings or global settings but each slider will already be modified. Previously when importing images all sliders were set to ZERO, but now all of those sliders are anywhere from - to + modification. Can someone please help?
LR 4.2, Windows 7 64-bit, 24GB ram, Catalog has been optimized, Develop Settings and Metadata setting are set to none on import.
Thanks,
Curtis

First thing to check is the Presets Tab of the Lightroom Preferences to make sure that "Apply auto tone adjustments" is NOT checked. If it's checked, uncheck it and try importing again.
If that setting is NOT checked, then perhaps you've inadvertently changed the default develop settings.....to check this take one of the adjusted images into the Develop module, then press and hold the Shift key. The Reset button at bottom right of the screen will change to "Reset (Adobe)"....click on it and see if the sliders revert to zero. If they do, you need to reset the default develop settings....Menu Bar>Develop>Set Default Settings, then click on "Restore Adobe Default Settings".

IPhoto 9.6 and Image Capture can't import from iPhoto, don't recognize devices or SD cards

I'm running the latest version of Yosemite on a recent MacBook Pro, with iPhoto 9.6. I recently noted when trying to import photos from an SD card that iPhoto didn't recognize the SD card automatically, and ask whether I wanted to import my photos. I was able to manually tell iPhoto to import, and find the photos by navigating to the SD card on the desktop and finding the right directories on it, so I figured it was just a hiccup and went on with my life. But now I've hooked up my iPhone 5S via USB to my Mac, and iPhoto neither recognizes that it's connected nor imports photos from it. Image Capture doesn't recognize it, either.
A few further notes:
- I'm running iOS 8.1 on the phone.
- My phone is unlocked when I'm trying to import photos.
- iTunes 12 can recognize and connect with the phone just fine.
Anyone having similar problems? Is there any help for this issue? Thanks much!

Hello Nathan,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Officejet 8500 no showing all images on SD card

i am using an officejet 8500. it is not showing all the images which are present on my sd card. all the images were taken with a digital camera. some of them show up using my laptop which is networked into the printer. it is fine if i plug the sd card into a different netbook to view the images.

Nevermind, I just spoke with my wife who imported the pictures last night just from that event. She did not delete them after importing either. I guess next time this happens I will uncheck the box that says "Do not import duplicates" to troubleshoot.

Importing word documents - but losing all images which was in it

Hi,
I am fairly new to Robohelp and recently got hold of Robohelp 8.
I have already written a Help File for my company's recent product, and the help file was in word 2007 with a lot of screenshots of icons, buttons and dialog boxes pasted in it.
On importing the word document to Robohelp, none of these images are being imported and I cannot see any of them in the project view.
I wanted to use the link to word document feature so that i do not have to keep re-importing the document for any changes made - however, because the images are not being imported, i now have to add them manually to the project.
1 - this is tiring and very time consuming
2 - the project files to which i add the pictures are no longer updated from the word document if any of the text changes as the project is preserving the changes i made to the file (which was only adding the image manually). Kind of defeat the purpose of link to the word document.
HELP
I would really appreciate any help in
1 - How to import a word document containing images (screenshots, icons etc) without losing the images
2 - Keep the word document to update the project even after i add any images to the project manually.
Thanks
Nivekz

Hi again
Thanks for the clarification.
Okay, so really what you are doing is identical to clicking File > Import > Word Document, because all you are doing by choosing PDF is pre-selecting PDF as the listed file types. Once you change it to point to Word documents it's no different.
Cheers... Rick

Pictures imported from iPhoto 6 to iPhoto 09 lost organization

I recently upgraded from a Quicksilver 2002 (iPhoto 06) to a Mac Mini 2009 (iPhoto 09). I copied the iPhoto Library (folder) from the G4 to the Mac Mini and ran iPhoto 09. It imports (automatically the photos, few thousands) but the organization is all messed up.
They were basically organized by film roll (import date), but now they are organized by events and there are events spanning wide time span with random photos in it, there are events from the future (2011 to 2045) etc. It looks pretty messed up.
Do I need to fix the library on the G4 (with iPhoto 6) somehow before I copy it over? I looks like it was messed up in the beginning (but iPhoto 6 was able to load it correctly) and iPhoto 09 is making assumptions.
BTW, then I tried starting up iPhoto with CMD and Option pressed and that totally messed things up even more. I had started some face recognition and it created cropped photos of faces and put them in the main library.
Thanks
IC

So you are saying that giving the rolls (~7 years worth of film, same age as the Quicksilver 2002) a specific name really matters for iPhoto 09 to properly load in the iPhoto 6 library?
If you still have your old library and machine go back to it and be sure all of your rolls are named - none with the default "roll xx" name
That is exactly what I said
Can I edit the event date (I'll admit it, I haven't looked into that)?
No - you can edit the dates of the photos in the event (photos menu ==> adjust time and date -- or photos menu ==> batch change time and date)

Looping with Upgrade from 09 to 11 -- all is lost

I am starting a new thread here as none of the solutions posed in the other threads have worked for me.
I installed iPhoto 11 -- as an upgrade from 09.
11 asked me to upgrade my photo library multiple times.
I discovered through this forum that this is a recurring problem.
I went to the SF Apple store for a genius to look at it. They had never heard of the problem. Looked to see that I'd installed it correctly (I had). No errors. They upgraded the library again -- and in the process it shrank to nothing. My photos are gone (mostly backed up, thank heavens).
What they did say is that 11 writes over the 09 files -- and there seems to be a problem with maintaining those files. They disappear.
While I have lost 10,000 photos or so (2 weeks of work), the most vexing part is that all of my organization is gone -- tags, books, slideshows, all projects, everything. And my backup won't restore that. Very, very, very frustrating.

Did you apply the iPhoto 9.1 updater before you tried to open your older library for the first time?
Do you have a backup copy of your 09 library that you can try again? If so make sure you're at iPhoto 9.1 and then try opening your 09 library.

Removed apple ID from computer. Are all files lost?

When my iMac was initially setup, I used an apple ID that is no longer in use (It was current at the time, but I created a new joint account recently). The apple ID was just unlinked from the computer, which prompted a new setup for the computer with me logging in with the new apple ID.
I did not have a time machine backup setup, but I noticed when I was setting up with the new ID, that there was a "locked" hard drive section that I could not access that might have my old files.
Is there a way to see if that locked part of the hard drive is still available? Or are all of my files lost? Is there a way to log in with the old apple ID which could get that system back to the way it was? I have backups for word documents and files, but I would like to avoid having to re-install all of my programs and re-downloading music and videos.
Thank you

You need to use the same Apple ID and password for both devices.

Downloaded 2nd sd card with same name, lost 1st card photos

Hi-
I'm on safari and wanted to save my photos to my computer every night. I downloaded the first sd card (~500 photos)- under a name and date, then downloaded the 2nd SD card (241 photos), and changed the description. When I went back to look at photos from 1st sd card they were gone! There was no "Do you want to replace file A prompt", so I thought they would still be there. Stupidly, I deleted the photos from the 1st card, so I'd have more room to shoot today! Have I lost my white headed vulture pictures forever??? Thank you so much for your help!
Details:
iPhoto 09
Version 8.1.2
Mac OS X (10.6.8)
I have a 13' MacBook Pro... not that is relevant- but I'm not sure what else I can say that will help!

. I downloaded the first sd card (~500 photos)- under a name and date, then downloaded the 2nd SD card (241 photos), and changed the description.
Since we only have words to work with I need more information
first from your latest post I believe that you Imported the photos on card 1 into iPhoto -- not sure what you meant by "under a name and date" - with iPhoto you import and it creates events based on your setting in the iPhoto preferences - did you import card 1? did you see an event created from those photos? Is there any chance that the date on the camera is wrong and that the photos are simply sorted into a different place than you expect?
what do you mean when you "changed the desctiption on teh second card? Did you rename the event(s) that were created? Did you put titles on the photos in the title area? What did you do?
If you can work around it I would not shoot onto card 1 until you resolve this since you probably can recover the photos on it using software like media recover - http://freshcrop.com/
