Import in place folder sync

Does Aperture allow me to synchronize folders that have already been imported as referenced files/folders?  After importing a folder leaving files in their current place, I want to know if I can continue to add to the physical folder location and import those files, in effect, performing a synchronization of the folder like I can do in LR3?
Thanks for any help here!

Right, but say I have a file in a previously imported folder, that has a folder within it that was imported as a project by import file/folder option... if I add 5 new files to the subfolder, do I have to import each file individually, or can I just do another import from the top folder to get the 5 new files only imported, rather than reimporting the whole file structure (assuming I also select the do not import duplicates import option)?
Thanks!

  • LR applying outdated metadata preset on folder sync.

    Lightroom changes my copyright year and contact info to old information when synchronizing a folder.
    Behavior:
    A folder of processed & ready-to-deliver RAW files.  These files all have 2014 copyright and contact info.  Export these images to JPG in another folder.  (Export includes all metadata.)  Open these JPGs in PhotoMechanic to verify that the 2014 copyright and contact info is still embedded in the files.  Go back to LR, right click the folder that contains the JPGs, "Synchronize Folder..." wait for process to complete.  Look at metadata panel in LR or the added JPG files - all copyright and contact info has reverted back to an outdated 2013 preset.
    Is there some place in LR where it's told to automatically apply a metadata preset?  I'm not going through the import panel - just a simple folder sync.

    There's the key piece of info.  So LR remembers different import presets based on file type?
    Running two experiments.
    First, I'm importing a folder of JPGs that I know already have 2014 copyright via the Import GUI (not synchronizing folder.)  The import interface opened, and the "Apply During Import - Metadata" drop-down was set to my 2014 copyright.  If LR remembers import defaults based on file type, then I would have expected to see it set to my 2013 metadata preset.
    Just for science, I'm importing a folder of DNG files that are also already set to a 2104 copyright.  For these files as well, LR defaults to my 2014 copyright.
    Am I not running the test the way you intended?  Any other ideas on why doing a folder sync would apply an old metadata preset?

  • I'm getting the error message "Photos folder syncing has been disabled for the iPhone my iPhone because the folder "Pictures" cannot be found."

    I'm getting the error message "Photos folder syncing has been disabled for the iPhone <my iPhone> because the folder "Pictures" cannot be found." lately.
    Normally, all I do with photos is move them from my iPhone to my computer's (Windows 7) hard drive. I do this by connecting the iPhone with the cable, a box pops up on the screen asking me what I want to do, and I choose "Import pictures and videos". I've previously selected the "delete photos from the device after move" option (or however it's worded...), simply because I don't want this device to fill up with photos.
    Lately, it has been importing the photos fine, but it won't delete them from the iPhone. This used to work just fine, now it doesn't work and I don't know what changed, if anything. In iTunes, I get the error message I list at the beginning of this message.
    How do I fix this?

    Hi there scarbo59,
    You mentioned that you are still able to import without issues, but you may still want to run through the troubleshooting steps outlined in the article below.

  • Lightroom cannot import in place

    LR 5
    Master folder on local drive is GRAPHICS
    Original Sub Folders are
         PERSONAL
         VACATIONS
    PROBLEM:
    Lightroom says that many photos in the above folders are in the LR catalog, because when I go to import them, as All or New they low light.
    However, in Library View they do not show.
    ISSUE:
    If I rebuild the catalog, I lose my extensive set of collections.
    WORKAROUND:
    When I created a third folder, under GRAPHICS, called TO IMPORT, LR imports from that folder fine, in place.
    I then need to move the files to the correct folder.
    Is there any way to get LR to import in place?
    I tried synchronizing and selecting destination and moving as DNG.
    None of these solutions seemed to work.
    Thanks,
    Glenn

    can be frustrating I know; but LR often knows more than us
    try a very limited renumbering; meaning just add a . or _
    but wait for more learned answers
    just do a few and see what happens
    Good luck with it

  • Importing into public folder on Exchange 2013

    Outlook 2013 Pro
    Exchange 2013 SP1
    I created the public folders and granted publisher rights to the outlook client. I exported a list of contacts to contact.pst from another account. In the exchange account, I import, point to the contact.pst and say place in same folder (public). Nothing
    is imported.
    If I expand contact.pst tree and select the contact folder (e.g. vendors), I get error ... Item cannot be created in the root of public folders.
    How do I import into public folder?
    John Lenz

    Outlook 2013 Pro
    Outlook doesn't support importing into a public folder.
    You would either need to open the PST file in Outlook and then copy/move the contact items in the PST file to the applicable public folder.
    Alternatively, if this is something that you're going to do on an on-going basis - any of the ContactGenie Import/Export programs may be of interest

  • Importing to iTunes folder doesn't seem to work.

    I don't know if this is a vista/itunes bug, but here I go:
    I have a music library of about 60 gigs or so. When I try and import the songs WITHOUT moving the songs to iTunes directory, it works like a charm. However, if I check the box to move the imported songs TO the itunes folder, I only get a fraction of the music in my library. I would like for iTunes to import everything to the itunes directory.
    Can I do this: Manually copy the music to the iTunes folder and then somehow import the itunes folder? (does that even make sense?)
    Thanks in advance

    Yet, the files are not there.
    Which files? Music or Photos? Do any songs in iTunes have an exclamation mark next to them? Other files as well? Do you remember what error messages that you were getting? Those error codes could be helpful.

  • Importing a contact folder from external hard drive onto new iphone

    It is kind of a long story...my mom was updating iphone on computer when computer crashed. iphone crashed. had friend move all info from crashed computer onto external hard drive. got new iphone.
    so, she no longer has a computer and we have to share mine. she has her own itunes on an external drive and i have my own itunes on another hard drive. i got almost everything except the contacts moved back on her phone. i see the folder and contacts in a 'contact' folder on the external hard drive, but how do I move that to the new iphone without it being in outlook/google/yahoo. i tried 'adding folder' to the library containing the contacts, but that didn't work.
    any suggestions? thanks!!!

    thanks for the advise about the two users. so, i did that. but, now cannot seem to import the contact folder into the Address Book. the files in the 'contact'-hard drive are called CONTACT files (.contact). i don't know what that means. can i open those in the address book?

  • Error importing CD (required folder cannot be found)

    iTunes 10.6, running on a Mac Mini with OSX 10.6.8
    Hi all,
    A bit of backstory. Been using iTunes to manage my music collection for over 8 years. At one point, I moved my music off of a primary disk to an external disk, although perhaps oddly set up, in that the 'iTunes Music Library.xml' file was still local (under ~User/Music), and just the music files were external (under /Volumes/Media/Music).  When the iTunes Media directory structure upgrade happened, the only way I could access my music was to put a soft link from the Music folder to my external drive.
    For awhile now, I've been in a state where for the most part, I can listen to all of my music, but when I try to import a CD, I get the 'required folder cannot be found' error.
    Help!  Do I have to rebuild my file somehow?  Edit the xml file directly?
    Thanks so much.
    I'm happy to provide more information, such as the xml file, directory listings, etc..  I'm just not sure what's helpful.

    I have the same problem.  I recently moved my music from a Vista PC to a new Laptop with an external CD drive. It will copy one song from the CD and it will show in the Music file and then I get the message ' Error importing a CD - Folder not found'.  I must unplug the CD drive and plug it back in.  I have seen no fix for this problem.

  • Folder Sync and System Back Up, please help !!!

    Right, there are the two things I can do with my Windows XP machines and can't find a valid solution on Mac OS X yet:
    1. Folder Sync
    I use 5 computers everyday, 2xMacs+1PCs at home, 1xMac at school and 1xPC in my office (part-time sys admin). It is obvious that i will need the folder sync feature so that I can keep working on one project on different computers. For windows there's a very neat feature called Briefcase, it bascially allows me to create two folders in different locations ( one in PC1, one memory stick for example ) and will automatically make sure these two folders sync with each other once connected . Just wondering if there's any software that allow me to do this on a Mac? and if it allow multiple sync (i.e. keep folders stored in 3+ locations up to date with each other, via network or portable storage device) that'll be even better.
    2. Backup.
    Since WInNT microsoft provides a Backup facility that allows me to perform regular backups of the entire system. except for the first backup which will copy my entire partition / harddrive content, the later ones will only add changed/newly created files to the existing backups (to save space and speed up the process). Carbon Disk Copy etc are merely GHOST-like utilities in Windows terms and does not have any advance features nor do they provide supports to exterenal hard drives (USB2, say). So, is there a good back up utility that I can use for my Mac OS X. ( i don't want to burn my 100G hard drive on 50 dvds every week )
    thanks.
    MacBook Pro 2.16 with All upgrades; PowerBook 17" 1.5G   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    1. You want rsync - will sync as many sources as you want.
    2. Rsync again will do this.

  • I am unable to import my favorites folder from an old harddrive onto the new harddrive

    I recently changed hard drives moving to a larger hard drive. Before doing so, I exported my favorites from Firefox and they were saved on a folder called FAVORITES on a portable hard drive. Now when I try to import these favorites I am unable to import the whole folder at once because Firefox seems to be looking for HTML files not a folder to import. When I drill down into the subfolders of the FAVORITES I had saved, there are files there titles INTERNET SHORTCUTS which appear to be the actual old bookmarks. Please help.

    Did you use one of these to export the Firefox bookmarks?
    * Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Backup
    * Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
    Sounds that you are referring to the IE Favorites and in that case you need to use IE to get access to those favorites by copying them to the IE Favorites folder and exporting them to an HTML file.

  • I Have Elements13 and Apple Yosemite:  When I open the organizer, import and select folder it locks up.

    I am using PS Elements 13 with Apple Yosemite.   When I open the Organizer, import and select folder, it locks up.

    I Did what you said.  But when I click on Folders and try to open  a sub folder it still locks up. All of the media I have opened is not divided into folder. Is there any way to remove all of them and start over?   I have been using Bridge with PSE13 and it work great.  With Organizer I get missing files. My organizer PSE12 works ok on my laptop.

  • Import Scenarios - Keep folder structure

    When I import a scenario folder the scenarios get inserted into the root of the Scenario pane and lose the folder they where in - Is this normal behaviour ? Is there a way to keep the folder structure?
    Its a royal PITA to drag and drop again as im working with a work repos over a WAN and its slow.
    Cheers
    Alastair

    I agree that its a pita and it is the only behavior. With several developers working in parallel, we have this problem all the times. A few people wont approve touching the Work repository directly but I would suggest creating a procedure to update the Work repository to update the parent id of the scenarios that dont have any parent id set. This can be done after you import all the scenarios and they stick on the root level.

    Thank you very much.

    Good day!
    What is your OS?
    Can you open the images?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)
