Import preferences and question about import

Under Preferences/Advanced is the selection: "Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library."
Should this option be selected? What does it do?
When I import, neither roll nor photo name appear in the left menu window of iPhoto. Other rolls and photo folder names and photo names appear there. Should the imports appear there?
At the head of the left menu window is "Source" and then "Library" folder followed by a listing of other folders and photos. Does this mean the other folders and photos are not in the Library folder? Is there anything that should be done?
thanks again.

Under Preferences/Advanced is the selection: "Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library."
Should this option be selected? What does it do?
Yes it should. It means that when you import photos into iPhoto, then iPhoto will make a copy of the pic in the iPhoto Library Folder. The advantages of this are several:
1. iPhoto becomes responsible for File Management. That is, you do all your organising in the iPhoto Window and can forget about the iPhoto Library Folder. iPhoto will store your photos there, along with your library files. When you delete photos in iPhoto (Move them to the iPhoto trash -> Empty iPhoto Trash) they are deleted from the hard drive as well. Moving your pics to an external HD or to a new computer is also much more straightforward.
IF you don't do this, then iPhoto will make shortcuts that point to your pics (where ever you have them. Importing and Deleting become multi-stage projects and the level of complication increases.
Keep it simple, as I've detailed in other posts you can still easily find your files :There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Once you've imported your pics into iPhoto, and you're sure that all is working correctly, you can then trash your original copies.
When I import, neither roll nor photo name appear in the left menu window of iPhoto. Other rolls and photo folder names and photo names appear there. Should the imports appear there?
No, that's the space for Albums and Folders full of Albums. You can see your Rolls (View Menu -> Film Rolls) in the main part of the window, and these rolls correspond exactly to the Rolls in the Finder. If you drag a folder of pics to the Source pane, an album will be created there automatically, with the same name as the folder, and a new Film Roll will also be created.
An important clarification: Rolls, as I said above, are directly related to Rolls in the iPhoto Library Folder at Go/Pictures.
Albums and Folders in the source pane are "virtual". That is, they have no direct corresponding folders in the Finder. Really, what they are is an instruction to iPhoto: display these photos together..., that's all.
The advantage: a pic can be in 50 albums with no duplication at all.
Isn't that where this started? ;))

"Don't import duplicates" and question about the Last Import folder

*THE CLIP IMPORTING (TO IMOVIE) PROCESS*
Ever since the last time I uploaded clips and made movies with them, I have shot new footage. I never erased the clips that were in the Sanyo VPC-HD2000A.
This morning I uploaded the clips to my iMovie '11, including image stabilization. (Bypassed iPhoto '11 completely, on purpose.)
What caused me concern while the clips were uploading is that there were no prompts about +"only new clips, no duplicates"+ to be imported. There was one set of options saying "Importing checked, or Import checked," but the problem was that I saw nowhere that any of the clips in the box (I will call it the Sanyo Box) could be checked. Selected, yes, but checked, no. I tried to select all of the newly shot footage, but that was impossible. It was only possible to select one clip at a time.
I did not interrupt the file transfer because I did so once last month and it caused me problems.
I ended up with 36 files uploaded and imported.
*THE EVENT LIBRARY LAST IMPORT FOLDER*
_In the iMovie '11 Events Library, the Last Import folder contains clips that were uploaded last month to iMovie. If I am to understand the label, "Last Import" does not mean, "And also stuff from a previous import."_
I realize that having duplicates of clips can be solved by deleting clips, but I really want to know what is going on and also what ought to be going on. Shouldn't the Last Import folder contain only those clips that are in the most recent upload?
And why was there no prompt for all duplicates to be disregarded and not imported?
Did I possibly bollix up the preferences in my Sanyo VPC-HD2000A and did I accidentally tell it not to ask whether or not I want to import duplicates?
I can see that someone could say, "Make sure you delete all old clips before you shoot new footage," but that is an "of course." I need to know what happens when you keep clips in the camera and want to import only the new clips.

No.
In LR3 it would ALWAYS pick up the duplicates if I inserted a card I'd just imported.
With no change to my workflow I'm now having instances of the same files being imported multiple times.

Basic question about importing wma files

Hi, I have a basic question about importing wma files. I ripped some cd's on a Mindows computer using Media Player, but now want to copy them to my Mac and use them in iTunes on my Mac. when I use Import in iTunes, nothing happens and I cant even seem to copy them one by one using the Music folder.
Can someone help me?
thanks
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.4)

iTunes for Mac doesn't support .wma files.
If you can use a PC to convert them, you can use one of many freeware applications. Google for 'wma to mp3'.
For the Mac there's the shareware program EasyWMA that can convert them.
Hope this helps.

* Buying Vado HD - 1st or 2nd gen? and question about pricing *

Hi.
I want to buy the Vado HD. I'm deliberating between the st and the 2nd gen. Can you help me with that?
Second question, how come the 2nd gen (that supposed to be better and newer) costs less than the st gen?! (99$ for the 2nd gen and 229$ for the st gen).
Thanks,
Adam

CRe: * Buying Vado HD - st or 2nd gen? and question about pricing *# To me the Vado Rev3 seems to be trying to get the same feature set as a digial Camera with HD recording capabilty....except the cameras take better stills. I have the below Canon and the Vado HD Rev.
http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-SD780IS2--Stabilized-Black/dp/B00SER47Y
We don't use the vado anymore since the camera is always with us.
Factor into the price of the Canon also purchasing a highspeed 6GB sd card.
if you are really sold on a Vado...look at the comparison here:
http://www.myvado.com/products/comparison.aspx
Note how they reduced the recording time of the new models to only 4gb instead of 8gb.....however, the newer units nati'vely record to MP4 which is a little easier on some software programs than the AVI container.

Transferring user preferences and configuration by importing plist files

At my job, we use iMac desktops. These are simple imaged workstations on a local area network, on which we login using a unique LAN user and password. I am particular about the configuration of my workstation and do a lot of configuring in System Preferences, as well as having my own bookmarks and whatnot. We do not have dedicated desks; I often find myself sitting at a desk I haven't sat at previously, and must reconfigure settings, import bookmarks from an HTML, etc.
I've noticed that I can easily export and import my keyboard text shortcuts between desktops by highlighting everything under System Preferences >Keyboard > Text and dragging it to the desktop, creating a keyboard plist file, and dragging this file into the same pane on a yet-to-be-configured desktop to easily import them. This saves the trouble of having to reenter them every time I'm at a new workstation.
My questions are these:
—Are other personal preferences as easily transferable using plist files? Specifically my Dock preferences/layout, settings like Hot Corners, wired Apple Mouse configuration, Launchpad layout, etc.
—If so, which plist's would be required?
—Would I have to use Terminal?
—Is there an easier way to accomplish this without plist's?
Being able to copy and paste plist's into my user library to auto-configure my preferences and setup on new desktops would save me a lot of time when sitting at a new desk.
Thanks!

If the specialist did a full backup, all you have to do is run Migration Assistant, which is in Applications / Utilities, and it'll basically put the machine back the way it was. If all he did was save some data files, that stuff is gone.

Some questions about importing HTML files

Hi, folks
Let's suppose we want to import a pack of HTML files formatted in HTML5 wit's it's CSS into a double-oriented folio. A couple or three questions about that, please:
1. Is there a limit for a reasonable quantity of HTML files I can import into a folio? I mean.. 100 would be way too much, for instance?
2. These HTML files could be navigated and referenced from inside TOC-pages made in InDesign,right? (navto://..., I gues?)
2. Will it be possible, by means of HTML adaptative design techniques, to treat both orientations (vertical and horizontal) as different viewports or screen sizes so that the design adapts for instance the column width with its CSS?
3. That said, will the InDesign final app. respect that adaptative CSS rules?
I am asking this because we are looking for a way to inject big quantities of content with a very similar design into our application in a really fast and automatizable way and I have the suspicion* that importing HTML5 preformated CSS files could be the a very good and simple alternative to importing XML into InDesign templates as we start out content as tagged almost-html files.
Thanks a lot
Gustavo Sánchez (Posting from Madrid)

I assume you are asking about using HTML articles.
1. There is no limit beyond simply keeping things reasonable.
2. Yes. Just use navto://articlename
3. Yes. I've used min-width of 768 and max width of 1024 to control it.
4. InDesign does not enter into any of this with the exception of using the folio builder panel. Everything else is done in Dreamweaver or whatever program you decide to use for the article.
If you want to restrict the HTML articles to one orientation or the other, use the _h and _v suffixes.

Checked FAQ: Question about importing into library, need some assistance.

Hi,
I've done some searching and have yet find my answer. I hope that some of the sharpshooters here can help out.
I keep all of my music on a network drive to avoid "bloating" my Mac with music. So the other day, I wanted to use iTunes to catalog what was on there and to load some more music onto my 'Pod. So, I performed an import of the library. Here's my dopey question: When one imports into a library, does all of the music come over with it, or, does just the songs' data get imported and then point to the source drive? Does this make sense?
TIA,
Chris

I also keep my music and all on an external drive. Before you catalog it you need to do one important thing or it will copy everything to your computer. Go into the Advanced setting under Preferences and uncheck *Copy music to your iTunes Music folder when adding to library*. If you don't do this you will end up with your music trying to be put on your computers drive. You can then use this to update your iPod as it points to the original file and will bring anything needed to load on your iPod.

Question about imported file

Hi,
I was taking a look to the tutorial provided by the otn web site about TopLink and I saw that we have to import the source.jar file.
I'm working with JBuilder and I have imported as a library toplink.jar, antlr.jar and xerces.jar and it works fine. Do I really need to also import source.jar and/or other .jar?

I would presume that the source.jar would only be needed in IDEs for parsing the source for code completion and Javadoc. Most newer IDEs are pretty good at parsing the .class files for most of the info though. So I don't think its really needed.

Quick question about import wizard

I logged into XI 3.1 Import Wizard with my AD user id (member of Administrator group), it is not giving me an option to imports users and groups. Is that only Administrator account can import users and groups?.
Source system is XI R2 SP3 and destination is XI 3.1 SP3.
Thanks,
Hari

Yes, I have admin previllages in both source and destination environment. I am using XI 3.1 Import Wizard, when I log into the source system with my AD ID it gives a message saying "you have logged on as a user that is not the system administrator".
When I go to the 'Select objects to import' screen it is not giving the option to check Users/groups.
Thanks,
Hari

Question about IMPORT

Hi all,
If I do an export from schema 123 from a DB and import it to an other DB which contains the schema 123, will it be imported in the schema 123 by its self?

IS this how it is supposed to be?
-bash-3.00$ imp sys/****** file=/tmp/CN_SMSC.dmp fromuser=ORVETL touser=ORVETL indexes=n statistics=none
Export file created by EXPORT:V10.02.01 via conventional path
Warning: the objects were exported by ORVETL, not by you
import done in US7ASCII character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set
import server uses AR8ISO8859P6 character set (possible charset conversion)
. importing ORVETL's objects into ORVETL
. . importing table "CN_SMSC_KWT_10APRIL" 4892573 rows imported
Import terminated successfully with warnings.
Does this mean it has imported the whole file into the schema ORVETL?
Thanks...

Question about import with Lr 5.4 update

I did the Lr 5.4 update... where did the "import subfolders" option go (at import)? I have the main folder, I imorted that...then I went back and imported a subfolder that is saved within that main folder. BUT now the sub folder images are all showing up first, then all the main images. (they're my photos and my second shooters photos from a wedding) I went to view at the top, and changed it to "capture time" but it hasn't changed it! The date and time are correct on both cameras. Thanks in advace!

ok I found the "include subfolders" I totally missed that earlier.... BUT I still need to figure out why they're separated like they are. help anyone?

Request for a unlocked BIOS for GT70 0ND 202US and question about donation

I am using GT70 0ND 202US。 The current BIOS version is E1762IMS.10R from the official MSI website.

General questions about imported video and audio clips

Hey guys. I'm a new Apple convert so forgive me if I ask extremely stupid questions.
1. If I import a video file that has audio in it, am I able to separate the audio from the video? I want to edit in pictures over some of the video but keep the audio playing over it. Is this possible in FCE?
2. I've started a project on FCE and I can't hear the audio from an mp3 file I downloaded. I know I have to convert it to an AIFF file (which I thought I did, at 16bits), but I still can't hear it. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks for the help guys!

Thanks for the reply. As to my first question, I assume then when I import a video clip with audio on it, FCE will automatically split the two?
As to my second question, thanks for the link, but I already tried it and still no audio. Is there something I need to fix in the playback? I'm still not clear on what the RT tab does. Maybe it's something with that?

General Question About Importing Music

Ok this is the scenario..
All of my music is saved in one folder.. Recently added files do not appear in iTunes library..
If in iTunes i select File>Add Folder and add my music folder, it is still not adding all my music from that folder and is also creating duplicates.
Am I the only one with this issue or can someone shed some light on any preferences I need to change, etc?

Just got off the phone with Apple support, still confused about how duplicates are created.. The rep informed me that it had nothing to do with iTunes, and a duplicate would only be created if there was an actual duplicate of the song on my computer.. which there isn't..
I just deleted my entire library, edit> selectall> rightclick> delete> chooseremove> choose keep files > file > add folder > selected music folder..
she assured me there should be no duplicates.. and it's going to take a while for my music to import, but i will update when it is done..
