Import Issue : "Database error: can't get path to master" when attempting to import photos (referenced method)

Hi Everyone,
I have a NAS (Network Attached Storage) which holds my photos. I want to import them into Apple photos (but via the reference method).
I did this by going to Preferences/General and unchecking the 'Importing: Copy items to the Photo library' option.
I connect to my NAS via AFP and have mount 'Media' which is where my photos are stored.
I select the file/import option, navigate to aforementioned photo location and select the "Review for import" button
I then receive an error which states:
Unreadable File
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).
Filename Reason
Filename.jpg Database Error: can't get path to master
The above error happens on multiple file types.....
However ...
If I tick the option in the preferences/general to 'Importing : Copy items to photo library" option then the file will import successfully.
I of course don't want to import the files I want them to be referenced...
Anyone else experiencing this issue????
Thanks in advance.
Benjamin

If this is a 3rd party application, I would seek out that company and ask for an updated version compatible with 2010, then it would be a matter of simply installing it per their instructions.
Otherwise, the best course of action is to deactivate the feature from WSSv3 prior to removal. If that is no longer possible, then use
FeatureAdmin to remove the feature from within 2010.

IChat Error: "Can't get video from the camera"

When I try to Screen Share with iChat on a local network, I receive the error "Can't get video from the camera" when I have an external camera plugged into the FW400 port on my Mac Mini. The Screen Sharing feature works great when the camera is not connected. Anyone know why this is and how to fix it?

Tell us about the Network you created please.
What make and model modem ?
Can it route (issue IPs) ?
IS there a router ?
Make and model of that please ?
If there are two devices which is doing DHCP if any are ?
IS there any computer that is sharing it's Internet Connection with any other computer ?
I take it from the title and the post that you infer you can Video and Audio chat ?
The Cannot get Video from Camera normally gets and Error Log pop up.
This can be opened with the reveal triangle on the left. The Details shown will have a Error number. Do you know what this log says ? (normally Error 20 or 21)
Old logs are stored in Users/(your account)/Library/Logs/iChatConnectionErrors by date.
IF you post an Error Log stop at the line that Says "Binary Images for iChat" as we don't need the bits below that yet.
As the Screen share in iChat uses an Audio component then the Camera if it is also the Mic needs to be ON.
In your case this may mean that in the ichat Video Menu both Camera Enabled and Mic Enabled should both be ticked.
(I have never seen an iChat error code for not (specifically) being able to get the Mic input so the message might be the only one iChat can pop up)
It does seem very odd that it only effecting Screen Sharing.
I have a Firewire connected DV converter that has two Firewire ports itself so I can input the camera feed to two computers. When this is in place the System also sees it as a Network.
I have also heard of one person with a Firewire Stills camera and I think the Storage space was seen as an External Device and therefore appeared Networked which is why I asked the first set of questions.
iChat does not like being in Two networks (a modem that issues IP address and a router doing the same or Wireless to a neighbour and Ethernet to your Own Internet connection, the Mac being the hub in a Share Internet connection, Wireless and Ethernet to the same router and using Parallels when set to Share the Mac's IP are the most common)
The Screen Sharing option in iChat > Video Menu is ON ? (at both ends ?)
As iChat's Screen Sharing is related to the System Screen Sharing and therefore Apple Remote Desktop you may find that in any routing device you may have to open ports 5900 and 5988 if not using UPnP

You said Local Network. Do you mean this is using the Bonjour Buddy List ?

Hi Damian and welcome to Apple Discussions!
One suggestion: try
tell application "Finder" to open item 1 of docs
(without 'using "Corel Painter 8"')
As far as the Finder is concerned, "Corel Painter 8" is just a string of characters. And telling the Finder to open a file is just the same as double-clicking it: the Finder knows which app to use - as long as these are native Corel Painter 8 docs.
Hope this helps,

Finder got an error: Can't get item 1 of {document file "foo" ...}

I have a lot of files in Corel Painter 8's RIFF format. I want to write a script that opens a file and somehow forces Corel Painter 8 to save the file as a GIF. GUI scripting may be some help with the latter; now I am concentrating on finding RIFF files and opening them in Corel Painter 8.
I have a script that does a depth-first search of the folders starting at some root folder, using the Finder application to do the file-system stuff. It creates a list with
set docs to every document file of pages_folder whose file type = "RIFF"
as it loops through folders it adds to the list like this:
set more_documents to every document file of a_folder whose file type = "RIFF"
set docs to docs & more_documents
My naîve mental model is that docs is a list of document-file objects. Next I have a loop that attempts to strip out files for which a GIF file already exists (and is no older than the RIFF document). This works by deleting non-matching items like so:
if not isgifneeded then
set docs to items 1 thru (i - 1) of docs & items (i + 1) thru (length of docs) of docs
end if
Finally it tries to open one of the files in Corel Painter 8 using the Finder:
open item 1 of docs using "Corel Painter 8"
This does not work. I get an error message
Finder got an error: Can't get item 1 of {document file "bar" of folder "foo" of folder "blah" of folder "pdc" of folder "Users" of startup disk, ... }."
It lists all of the files. (The error message appears in a sheet that extends off the bottom of the screen!) They are identified in the message as document-file objects. The curly braces are, I believe, the AppleScript notation for a list. I expect to be able to obtain the first element of a list with ‘item 1 of xs’. My assumption is that the Finder’s open command would expect a document file object, or at least would be able to cope with being asked to open a document. What am I missing here?

IPad can't get past step 8 when syncing. I have to unplug before the end. Is this normal? What do I do to solve the issue?

It is syncing through everything and then failing to close out. If I disconnect then the libraries are all there although I have lost a movie and a few tracks downloaded as a result of this.

Hi Tom,
     Thanks, but at this point, I've rebooted, checked and double-checked more times than I'd care to count...:(
     Since I can see the NMEA strings when the GPS module is hooked-up to the USB port, I guess I'll assume there's some reason why the
     AMA0 UART has not been released, or that the GPS receives some different signals through the TTY that it's not seeing through the AMA0.
      As I mentioned, when I use 'cat /dev/ttyAMA0', it just hangs, like it's getting no data. I'll keep looking...
     Thanks for your help,
          Dave

Applescript for mail error can't get message id

I have an applescript (found on internet) for Mail 4.5 that deletes messages in "on my mac" mailbox "Deleted Inbox" that are older than 120 days. The script runs from an iCal daily event. I drag messages from Inbox to "Deleted Inbox" when I don't want the message in Inbox, but I want to save the message for 120 days before deleting it. The script sometimes runs successfully, and sometimes gives error "Mail got an error: Can't get message id xxx of mailbox "Deleted Inbox"". Then in Mail, I "Mailbox / Rebuild" that mailbox, and run the script manually without error. How can I avoid that error? The script is essentially:
tell application "Mail"
          set OldStuff to every message of mailbox TheBox where date received of it < OldDate
          repeat with ThisMessage in OldStuff
delete ThisMessage
          end repeat
end tell
Thanks for any help.
Ken

How can I avoid that error?
I don't actually know how you can avoid that error. However, maybe you can use a workaround and have the script rebuild the mailboxes automatically when such an error occurs. Try the following code:
tell application "Mail"
try
    set OldStuff to every message of mailbox TheBox where date received of it < OldDate
on error
    activate
    tell application "System Events" to click menu item "Rebuild" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Mailbox" of menu bar 1 of process "Mail"
    delay 1 -- adjust if necessary
    set OldStuff to every message of mailbox TheBox where date received of it < OldDate
end try
repeat with ThisMessage in OldStuff
    delete ThisMessage
end repeat
end tell
Since the above script uses GUI Scripting, you must enable the Accessibility Frameworks by clicking the checkbox labeled "Enable access for assistive devices" in the Universal Access System Preference pane.

Can only get the "Draft" stamp when insert customer stamp with C#+JS

I am trying to insert customer stamp in batch files with C#+JS.
My JS works well in Acrobat. However, it doesn't work when use C#+JS. I always get the Acrobat's "Draft" stamp other than my own ones (the AP value is confirmed correct).
In c#, it runs as this ( with the objectype.InvokeMember())
1. initial an annotation with addAnnot first and get the properties object with method of getProp().
2. Set the type entry of the properties object as "Stamp"
3. With setProp(), modify the annotation to a Stamp annotation, and then get the properties object of the Stamp annotation.
4. Set the entries (rect, page, AP ) of the properties object. Then use setProp() again to modify the properties of the Stamp annotation.
The program runs without any error message. But I can only get the default stamp "Draft".
One thing I found so far, in JS console in Acrobat, if I set the AP properties AFTER set the annotation type to "Stamp", it also get the "Draft" stamp only. as this,
     annot = this.addAnnot();
     prop = annot.getProps();
     prop.type = "Stamp";
     annot.setProps(prop);
     prop = annot.getProps();
     prop.page = 0;
     prop.rect = [0, 0, 100, 100];
     prop.AP = "#xxxxxxxx";
     annot.setProps(prop);
If I set the prop.Ap before the forth line in above para, I can get the right stamp.
     annot = this.addAnnot();
     prop = annot.getProps();
     prop.type = "Stamp";
     prop.AP = "#xxxxxxxx";
     annot.setProps(prop);
     prop = annot.getProps();
     prop.page = 0;
     prop.rect = [0, 0, 100, 100];
     annot.setProps(prop);
Or, if I set the props in the typcial JS format like below, I also get the right one
annot = this.addAnnot({
type: stamp,
page: 0,
rect: [0,0,100,100]
AP: #xxxxxxxx)});
But, the problem is, in C#, the AP properties can only be set after set the annotation type as Stamp (step 4). I think this might be the reason, but I don't know how to get over this.
Please help. Thanks!

No, it can't – but you could do that yourself as part of the watermarking process (ie. Two watermarks or fields)

Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos. Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

What do you mean exactly? Are you wanting to output the audio to your iPhone while say watching a video on your Apple TV? If so, I'm afraid it's not possible. However, you should post this in the Apple TV forums for a better confirmation on then. There are some prettty knowledgable people who hang out there.
