Import function doesnt recognize pictures

Hello, i just started using PSE yesterday and imported my 6000 Pictures.
Everything worked fine except for one folder. PSE just doesnt import the pictures in there.
I tried removing the folders inside the specific folder or renaming the folder but everytime i try to import the pictures, PSE scans the folder and then says the files are either not supported or already in the database.
In the folder are "normal" jpg-files taken with the same camera as all my other pics. There is nothing really different about it.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks a lot

Are you sure ?
It's very common to find files imported twice in different folders.
Do a search by filename to see if some of the files in that folder are already in the catalog.
More about that problem:

Import function Photoshop elements

I have the trial version of Elements. Can I use the import function to scan pictures from my scanner? It is greyed out at the moment

Adobe stop shipping photoshop elements with the Import>Frame from Video because it's outdated and the plugin is a 32 bit plugin and doesn't work in pse 12 or 13, which are 64 bit applications on mac os x.

LR 1.2 Import Function - Shows Previously Imported Directories

I have 40,000 pictures I am trying to import into lightroom. I have 1500 left to go. The process I used has been:
1. File:Import Photos from Disk
2. I then select the main directory that has every photo I have taken or scanned. The directory structure is MAIN DIRECTORY/YEAR/EVENT.
LR scans all directories and runs its' comparison.
3. The "problem with Importing Files" dialog box appears to let me know the following photos will not be imported because they already exist in catalog.
a. Best I can tell it generally gets most of the files that have already been imported correct.
5. I select IMPORT and I then get the dialog box import photos.
a. It shows I have 44 folders left to import.
b. At least 20 of them (I am guestimating) have already been imported.
c. When I select a directory, for example. /Thanksgiving 2003, those photos appear correctly in the preview section.
d. I know these have been imported already and are in my catalog. For giggles, I enter my keywords 2003,Thanksgiving and select IMPORT.
e. I am using "IMPORT FILES AT THEIR CURRENT LOCATION", BTW.
6. Sure enough, the dialog box appears:
a. Import Results | Some import operations were not performed | The files already exist in the catalog (21).
6. I want to NOT view those 20 directories whenever I run the IMPORT function.
a. Also, there are a few directies that had 100 photos imported. The IMPORT CATALOG COMPARISON shows that there is 1 photo in a directory that hasn't been imported. Of course, it has, because when I try to import the one remainind item, is clearly shows as IN LIBRARY.
HERE IS THE IMPORTANT ISSUES, most of the directories are correctly being imported and then removed from the initial scan. I had hundreds of directories that are disappearing from the catalog comparison correctly. It is just these 20 or so that will not go away.
Needless to say, I would like to run import and have NO FILES or DIRECTORIES to import when I am completed this project.

Jao, as a general rule I always want to see exported jpegs or tiffs in LR library. My ideal is to not have to use the file browser in Windows to manage files. I want to know if I have jpeg or tiff versions of a raw file. Otherwise I might end up creating identical jpegs, when I receive a request for a particular file. Since my jpegs are created from raw files adjusted in LR's develop module, I have been considering deleting the jpegs after sending them to the client who requested them, that way I don't waste hard drive space on files that I can easily recreate. Even in this case, I would like to see them in LR, so that I can delete them after sending them to the client.
I create tiffs for two purposes. One is to edit in PS, which automatically gets recognized by LR. But some times I create tiffs that are used in assembling an HDR file. I want to see these in LR, otherwise I need to open the Windows file browser and navigate to the folder to see the tiffs.
I prefer to work in a single program so in general I would like LR to be able to recognize other file types such as Acrobat or InDesign files. The more the better as far as I am concerned. LR could have a preference that would allow turning off the display of other file types, so users who don't want this will not see them.

Importer does not recognize already imported photos

Hello,
I have a really annoying problem with Aperture 3.0.3. The importer does not recognize already imported photos and wants to import them again and again. This is true for photos from my iPhoneand also for photos from my Nikon. If I enable "Do not import duplicates" then some photos vanish from the importer, when I the iPhone view is open. In the Nikon view not even one photo is recognized as already imported.
Also very strange is that when I have the iPhone (iOS 4.1 installed) attached to the Mac, Aperture opens the importer automatically and shows all photos correctly - but strangely, both iMac CPUs are at 100% until I click either "Cancel" or "Start import" or I disconnect the iPhone.
I tried the following without success:
- Correct permissions on media library
- Repair media library
- Rebuild media library
Imports from my iPhone last very long and seem to hang most of the time. I have to kill Aperture to make it work again all the time.
To me, it looks like there is something really messed up at the base of this program.
I have about 20000 files in my library - face recognition is not turned off - most of the preferences are at their default, I think. Did not play around very much.
Does anybody know what to do? I don't want to lose all my Projects (sorted all pictures into their own projects). But I want to work with Aperture again. When its working, it's a great tool.
Regards
Alex

I've had the same problem. For some things, like videos and photos on my iPhone, I've found as many as 5 copies of the images despite keeping the 'do not import duplicates' checked.
I've also found a bug with the import function, where if I'm importing from folders on my hard drive, sometimes it finds no images at all (even if they don't exist in my library). Simply cancelling and going back into import and the miraculously appear (including images that have already been imported despite having 'do not import duplicates' checked.).
I've been going through my library deleting all the duplicates, and managed to free about 10GB of space.
Having moved from Lightroom the 'technical side' of Aperture seems very antiquated. For example, if I remove a duplicate video - then try clicking on that video in Aperture, it literally takes about 10-15 minutes of spinning disc before Aperture becomes responsive. It also often hangs up on the 'updating previews' when I quit.
Such a shame aperture is so bad. I really like the functionality - eg. having my photos automatically sync with my Apple TV, but it seems to be absolutely full of bugs.

The wizard hijacked my importing function!

I have CS3 and Vista.
Today I happened to attach my laptop to my scanner after Photoshop was already running. Maybe this made the difference.
When I used the "import" function to scan and photo, a new "wizard" appeared. There were two screens (I think) before I got to the usual scanning/importing screen.
There was a box to check so that the image would open in Photoshop. This did not happen. Instead, the photo was saved as a .bmp file in a "destination folder."
Where did this stupid wizard come from, and why doesn't it want to open my photo in Photoshop once I've scanned it? How do I tell it NOT to put the photo in a folder? HOW DO I GET RID OF IT????

take a screen shot of it so we can see. maybe someone's seen it. it's probably either a windows thing or something to do with your camera. if it is a photoshop thing someone here will recognize it and be able to tell you how to turn it off.

When connecting IPOD to pc it doesnt recognize it said to try again nothing

I bought my daughters the 7th generation IPOD nanos, when connecting to PC it said it doesnt recognize them, disconnect try again but it still does the same thing. Also we verified accts for yahoo and ITunes they have money in their acct's however when we try to click buy it does nothing any help on this?

When I connect my ipod to USB immediately following taking it off my AC adapter, it causes my computer (PC, XP) to restart.
Reinstall Windows. This has nothing to do with iTunes or any other Apple software, because that functionality is entirely Windows based.
If reinstalling windows fresh (and doing all the updates) doesn't fix it, then you have a hardware problem on the PC.

Importing functions and settings

Maybe and probably quite basic. After reading various topics and help files could not find specific answers.
I was wondering when using Itunes import function to your library, is the only way from CD??
I connected my shuffle and Itunes finds by IPOD and I have over 500 songs located in my music folder on WindowsXP. I thought that I could use Itunes import function by browsing to this folder and then selecting all songs, but it does not recognize them.
I then went to I believe copy files or folders to add to library from Itunes (Sorry not in front of my system right now) and selected around 100 songs or so and they copied over fine to ITunes library. I then went to playlist and all music was present. I set the preferences in Itunes / advanced settings/import/ on cd insert import songs/ CD is mounted to desktop………as Itunes is already opened and it will not automatically use the import function.
From there I was able to download to shuffle. I guess my question is.... is this the only way? other then having the CD browsing to it and then do a manual copy to library and or playlist??

Still a little confused, when you select import
function from Itunes from either CD, HDD or
folder...
Okay, I'm confused. You can only "Import" from an audio CD. You cannot import from HDD or folder. That doesn't make any sense.
..why is the content not automatically
imported to your Itunes library?
You mean "Added" to your iTunes Llibrary, and actually it is added to the Library, so again, not sure what it is that you're asking here.
If it creates a pointer as the above post suggest, I
(interpret this as a shortcut or file created) on
your system, that yet another import step is required
too the Itunes library.
No, the pointers I was talking about are not shortcuts or files created on your machine. They are more like entries in a database. The iTunes Library is a database containing these pointers that I'm talking about. If you are looking at the iTunes window, every row in the table is one of these "pointers". When you see a track listed in iTunes, then it's in the iTunes Library, and the track listing is the pointer I'm talking about.
You have song files on the hard drive, and then you have the iTunes Library, which is a database that holds information about those song files (including the location of each of these files, which is a "pointer" to the file).
In "importing", a file is made on the machine by copying the data off an audio CD, and then an entry is added to the iTunes Library/Database with the location of that new file that you created. This is one step.
In "adding", you already have the music files on the hard drive, all you're doing is creating that entry in the iTunes Library/Database. See?
If your questions were more clear then I might be able to give you better answers, but I'm really uncertain as to what it is that you're confused about. What are you trying to do? What is the goal? What actions are you actually taking and what are the results of those actions? What do you expect the results to be? What do you want the results to be?

I am using Lightroom on my MAC where I import the finalized JPEG-pictures into iPhoto to create a slideshow (for instance in combination with films). When exporting the slideshow with a 1080p resolution to iTunes I experience difficulties (missing slides and black transitions). When using JPEG-pictures directly from the camera there are no problems, so the manipulation in Lightroom seem to cause corrupt files. Does anyone recognize tje problem and could it have anything to do with the introduction of the Yosemite software? Is Lightroom already Yosemite-proof?

In iPhoto 11 the Originals folder is renamed Masters.

Safari doesnt recognize all installed plugins

hi
my safari 2.0.3 doesnt recognize the pdf browser plugin and Sony's imagestation plugin, eventhough ive tried them installing many times. The last plugin that was installed correctly was the divx plugin. Somebody please help me out. I have checked the preferences and plugins are enabled.
macbook 13 in Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Are you using Rosetta to run Safari? If not, PDF browser plug-in will not run, as it is not a Universal app.
Best to check the Universal status of those plug-ins you are having problems with. If they are not Universal, they'll only be functional if you are running Safari in Rosetta.

You have been asked to post the code. We cannot troubleshoot pictures.
Are the X and Y arrays the same lenght? Is any value NaN? What does the error output tell you?
(Also note that in this case, it would be convenient if we don't need to wire X. have a look at this idea!)
This discussion is useless until you attach an actual VI and some data, so please do.

APEX Application URL doesnt recognize parameters (Doesnt work consistently)

Hello,
I have developed an application which I have published in company's intranet website. There are several links published for same application with different parameters. We are facing issues in publishing parameterized URLs as application is not recongizing the parameter values passed (in internet explorer it doesnt recognize at all, but in mozilla, once redirected if we again select address bar and press Enter it does recongize the parameter without changing URL).
E.g. I have hyperlink in intranet with
http://msi-pa-637.marvell.com:7777/pls/htmldb/f?p=111:101:0::NO::P101_PROJECT_INSTANCE:PRJ3
After clicking on the link it does open application, but report with complete data. now in Mozilla if I select address bar and press enter, it refreshes and does retrieve report with desired parameter. Do you have any clue why it doesnt do in first place? (in internet explorer, this work around doesnt help until you manually change the parameter from PRJ3 to PRJ2 and press enter).
Please help.
Thanks,
Prashant

Thanks Vikas for helping me to figure out myself.
The debug feature really helped!
My application was having computation on same item that was getting defaulted on new instance. I made that computation conditional and now it works!
Thanks a lot!

When I try to import pictures of my daughter, what gets imported is about 50 pictures of world flags, then masks. I can't import any pictures now. I am on MacBook Pro. I called Applecare and honestly got 'gee I don't know' for an answer.

I can't import pictures into iPhoto. (f I can right click and there is a choice to put in iPhoto that works fine) . No matter what happens, even when I download them first, all that imports is a mass of pictures of flags and masks, and they are the only things that are imported, no matter what picture I try to import into my librarly. Can anyone help me with this? I live in a small down 5 hours from an apple store so I can't just take it in and get somene to look at it.
I am on a Macbook Pro. I called AppleCare and all i got was 'gee, I don't know'. Everything was fine until about 3 weeks ago

Elaine. What are you trying to import from? Are you inserting a camera memory card in the slot on the side of your mac? Are you connecting your camera to the mac through a USB cable? It sounds like you can see your pictures, where do you see them, on the memory card that you open on your desktop, or are you using software that came with your camera?
