Import Function INACTIVE - quite strange

I'm lost!
1/ I was importing from a JVC GRD-24 DV, without problem. The battery was quite empty.
2/ Suddenly the import shut down because the camera missed power.
3/ OK. I charged the battery.
4/ I tried to carry on importing. Impossible. The function is no more active (and in the menu it is in grey).
5/ I tried lots of things: reboot, playing with the cables, removing the partial import etc.
6/ I can command the camera (camera connected). I can order 'play' from the computer and the camera plays but I don't see it on the Mac.
7/ Stranger: when I click on the button PLAY of the computer, there a lot of empty clips created in the media directory. These clips (between 25 and 100) do not belong to the project (I'm asked to keep them or not when I load anew the prject).
I suspect a material troubleshooting ?
I suspect too a 'remaining memory' in iMovie that let it in an unstable situation. I'd like reinit it.
Has someone an idea for that ??
Thanks a lot.
imac G5 powerpc Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi e
And to add to Sue. Which probably got You up and running.
if not May be You find some help in my list - to correct many errors:
Mac:
- hardware
◊ Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
◊ Reset PRAM
◊ Bad RAM-chips
◊ disconnect Mac from powerline (not just switch off, really plug out) for a few minutes to reset FW ports
- software
◊ File-Vault is on - turn it off
◊ Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
◊ Do You have desktop pictures or screen or energy-savers active? Try turning them off.
◊ Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good) OS X.4.0-5 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
◊ Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first) QT v.7.0.0-4 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
◊ Have you tried the crazy fix: Open GarageBand, play a few notes, close it and reopen iMovie. The camera should import fine now. Sue/SDillini
◊ If You also have installed FinalCut Express/pro there are possibly problems with this
iMovie:
◊ remove bookmarks in iMovie project
◊ Trash: com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iMovie3.plist : files (Xinram)
Connection:
◊ don’t Daisy chain Camcorder <--> external hard disk <--> Mac
◊ FW-wire cable, is it OK?
◊ USB/USB2 is NO GO !
Camera:
◊ The Camera is set to VTR ? (not as when You ”film” record with it)
◊ defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC ! (if the A/D chip in the camera is harmed then it will say in iMovie that the camera is connected and You can forward rep. backward the tape but there will be no picture or sound just the blue screen.
◊ Cheque the menu on Your Camera so that it communicates with the FW digitally to Your Mac
◊ Date and Time is correct on Your Camera ?
Tape:
◊ Drop outs on the miniDV-tape - make a camera to camera copy on a tape which You have previous recorded with a time code (dummy recording).
◊ Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is pre-recorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
◊ If You recorded in LP-mode (90 min on a standard 60 min tape with 12-bit sound). Try to change in iMovie pref. to import but not as individual clips. If this doesn’t work You have to make a Camera to Camera copy with the receiving Camera set to SP-mode and 16-bit sound.
More:
◊ follow advises here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=43000
◊ follow Grandmaster Dan's advice for Sony cameras here: http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/usage/5020.shtml

I lost my last import when iPhoto quit. Is there a way to find these pictures?

I lost my last import when iPhoto quit. Is there a way to find these pictures?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

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?

Import function LR3...

Hi, Guys.
I think theres a bug in LR3s import function. I have had som problem with importing from my camera (SD card) that i didn't have with LR2. Some of the files, not all, is marked as " photo missing" although they have been imported and stored in correct folder, they just don't appear in LR. When i right click and find the file it's no problem, but i have to do it file by file and that sucks. Is there anyone who had the same problem or know how to solve it?
-Jens-

I did rename the file, but in the same way i did in LR2. The strange thing is that about 7 files of 50 in the last import are ok, but the rest of the files i have to re-import or find individually.

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.

I want to import bookmarks from Internet Explorer 8, but the import link under file in Firefox is ghosted out and doesn't allow me access. How can I access the Firefox import function?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Useless Contact Import Function

A suggestion for the next version of PC Suite ...
The inclusion of a real import function would be nice.
Only required fields would be FirstName, LastName, PhoneNo.
Period.
This function should be able to take only a minimal amount of field names and transfer them to the phone without all the other junk in a .CSV format or even better yet TSV.
So far I've wasted more time and drive space on a utility that does not work correctly. I do NOT use Outlook, I don't need it to sync anything (that is what the usb drivers are for). While the sync feature is nice I'd like to disable it. I'd rather copy it myself.
I have spent the last 31 years of my professional programming career on developing software and this is by far the worst software that I have seen. It violated programming 101 to the max. You have certainly taken making a phone call to a new level indeed.

Not exactly all.
XI supports WSDL in document-style. Other styles are internally converted but ideally should be converted to document format beforehand

Disable auto import function?

I want to disable the auto import function in iTunes, but can not find the setting.
My problem is I download a new song into a temp directory, immediately iTunes opens and imports the song into the iTunes library. I DO NOT want iTunes to import the song at this time. I want to move the song to my MP3 folder first.
This is a real pain because I have to first delete the song from iTunes then move the song file, then import the song again from the MP3 folder. If anyone knows a way around this please let me know.
Thanks!

Import function is blocked. Can this be changed with a security setting?

I want to import bookmarks that I saved from old computer. When I go to File in the menu bar, the import is blocked (shaded white). How can I activate the import function?

Do you have an HTML or JSON backup from that old computer?
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup.<br />
You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.<br />
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File"<br />
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links.
A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki>
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>
You may need to add quotes ("bookmarks.xxxx") around the name to rename the file to the correct file extension.

Missing Thumbnails in Organizer Importing Function

I recently upgraded my my operating system from Windows XP to Vista. When I used the import function in Elements Organizer (with XP) I could preview the thumbnails and select the desired images on the camera or compact flash card. Now that I have moved to Vista the thumbnail preview or selection is no longer visible or accessable.
I have been through the software options, search engines and this forum but have seen nothing about this problem. I do sometimes have a perchance to miss the obvious and apologize if this is the case. Any help is appreciated.
OS Windows Vista 64 bit
Photoshop elements 9
8Gb RAM

Possibly due to display or dpi settings in the Windows control panel being below 96 dpi or 100% especially if you have a short screen e.g. laptop or notebook.
A work around is to import everything from the card into a folder on the hard drive. Then use File à Get Photos
It’s then possible to select and deselect from the Organizer import dialog.

Import Functionality in Oracle ADF BC with Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2

Hi all,
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2 and I am trying to import functionality in my application.
I am following the steps of: http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2008/07/import-functionality-in-oracle-adf-bc.html
I have 2 data model and I would like to import the functionality of one data model, in the other.
My problem is when I tried: myModel2-->right click-->project properties-->deployment-->edit
I don't see nothing to filter myModel2, I see only Library Dependencies, Connections, JAR Options ADF Validation.
If I tried : myModel2-->right click-->project properties-->deployment-->new-->filters
I see only the folders: Merged Contents of this file Group's contributor, .data, 00000000
But I can't see the folders I have (mypackage.test.model.entities).
Where I can found them? Is there a workaround?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Andrea

Ok, but I taught that after importing myModel2 in myModel1, Jdeveloper realise a merge and it visualizes a unique package, even if it is splitted on two or more projects/models.
So that, it seems to me this procedure is useful for importing jar file, but not for splitting a very big project in a lot of smaller projects, doesn't it?
Thanks for your opinion
Andrea

IE6 bookmarks aren't being imported when using the import function in Firefox.

I tried using the import function but it didn't work.

It usually works better if you export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

GTS tables relations and important function modules

Hi Friends,
I am totally new for the developments in GTS. Wanted some help on the tables for master data, transactional data in GTS.
Also what are the important function modules used in GTS.
Anybody can give me some inputs on the above..?
regards
Nalin

Well, passing a table thru the interface with no type is easy, just don't assign a structure when defining the interface. It will then take its structure by what is being passed to it.
So if you would pass an internal table to it with the structure like so.
Data: begin of itab occurs 0,
      line(1000) type c,
      end of itab.
Then that is the structure inside the function module.
Did this answer your question?   Please explain further if not.
Regards,
Rich Heilman
