Import Raw Message Source

I have a number of emails that have been saved in raw message source. How can I get get Mail to recognize these and import them?

There are at least 3 or 4 dozen solutions. However, you've asked for a solution that doesn't require programming. I'm afraid your only solution left is to hire a programmer.

  • Re-importing messages saved as raw message source

    I made a back up copy of several messages by selecting them in the message viewer window and then File / Save As / Raw Message Source.
    This resulted in a single file more or less the size of the sum of the messsages backed up, incl attachments, with no extension (inspite of the fact that I opted not to hide the extension).
    I now want to get the messages back into Mail, but whatever I do Mail does not seem to want to do anything with the file it made....
    Any ideas? or have I gone wrong somewhere....

    Messages saved that way are stored in standard mbox format. Hence, to bring them back into Mail you must do File > Import Mailboxes and choose Other as the data format. Standard mbox files don’t require a filename extension in order for Mail to be able to import them.

  • Force Mac Mail File/Save As to use Raw Message Source

    Mac Mail version 6.3.  When using File/Save As, is there a way to force the save as format to be "Raw Message Source" always?  I change it to that, but over time it seems to switch back to Rich Text and I know I didn't change it.

    Thank you.
    I saved the email as Raw in a folder on my desktop, then went to file-import mailbox in mail, and tried to import it. I got a message that it saved to an import folder in the mailbox list, but there is no such file. I tried making an Import folder and import it again, but it did not work.
    Then I tried saving as Plain Text and Rich Text Format. I got an error that No valid Mail for Mac OS X files were found.
    I have SpamSieve, could that be a problem?

  • Archiving a Smart Mailbox to a RAW Message Source using Automator?

    In MAIL I can set a smart mailbox to say get emails from ("any" recipient contains [email protected])
    But in Automator when I use the Filter messages in mail I can't be that broad with my selection, I can only select sender, and not ANY recipient. Be that someone cc'd with that email address, the sender or reciever.
    One way around this is allowing Automator to select a Smart Mailbox from MAIL to do the selecting.
    But I can't get Automator to select a Smart Mailbox.
    What I need to do is take my Smart Mailbox content and every X# of days, for my needs it would be 7 days, export out last X# of days, again for me its 7 days, worth of emails as a RAW Message Source and append it to an existing RAW Message Source file in a specified folder.
    Or if appending to an existing file is not possible then create individual files but name them something like, Weekending_10_282006, where the date in file name matches the day the script was run.
    Then place this to always run on a Saturday.
    I am using this to backup messages for specific projects at work. And I would like to use it to backup emails from my cousin who is serving overseas in Iraq.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Unusual eMail Question: import raw message content...

    I get over 100 email alerts each week that are important to my business that contain about 12 data points that pertain to certain event activity. The up-side is these messages are in the exact same format and content so there is little variation, in fact, you could assume they have fields that are reference-able. I'm interested in using some sort of tool such as FileMaker or Crystal Reports where I can point to the email folder where the *.emlx files exist and have that tool import all of the files then allow me to parse them and report on these 12 fields.
    Is this something that someone here has done and if so, what tips can you give me to help me short-circuit the process. I'm not much of a programmer so please keep it as simple as possible.
    Thanks in advance...

  • Suddenly i am unable to import RAW to Lr4.4. I was able to import just prior to leaving US, but now i receive an error message (if i could update the screenshot, i would)

    i have been using Lr for years. No recent changes to my preferences on Lr4.4 or my MacBookPro. When i tried to import RAW while traveling in Vietnam, i receive this error message
    "some import operations were not performed"
    then there is a list of my import files with the comment "the following files were not imported because they could not be read"
    yet i have been importing RAW files from this camera (Canon D5II) for several years.
    Thanks in advance for your help

    "Could not be read" means that the destination directory, where the photos are supposed to be copied into, does not have WRITE permission.
    Change your permissions on that folder.

  • Trying to import RAW files but receiving "some import operation were not performed" error message.

    Trying to import RAW files (from Canon 5D Mark III) but I'm receiving the following error message "some import operations were not performed". I am trying to copy to my Seagate backup drive, however the only destination it will let me copy to is my Lexar flash drive (where I don't want to store them!).  I've checked all the file permissions--everything says "read and write". Not sure where to start   I recently switched to an iMac where the problems started (never any issues importing into Lightroom on my PC--just slowness). Please help! 

    NIKON D3300
    The Nikon D3300 Raw format is not yet supported in Lightroom 5 (currently 5.3).
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Raw file formats are proprietary to each camera manufacturer and specific to each camera model. Adobe's Camera Raw engine (used by both Adobe Camera Raw - as a plugin to Photoshop - and Lightroom) must be constantly updated with every new camera make and model which arrives on the market in order to read and edit Raw files from that camera.
    Adobe has added support for the D3300 to Camera Raw 8.4 which is about to be released. It is a Release Candidate (RC status) at the moment. So D3300 Raw support will probably be added to the next soon-to-be-released Lightroom update (5.4).
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw8-4-cc/?tabID=details#tabTop
    In the meantime, you can download the free Adobe DNG Converter 8.4
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/cameraraw8-4.html
    Using the DNG converter, you can then convert the D3300 Raw files to DNGs then open and edit the DNGs in Lightroom 5.3.
    Once Lightroom 5.4 is released (assuming it also has D3300 support) the DNG conversion will no longer be required.

  • How do I import raw CR2 files from camera into LR5? I get an error message

    I'm trying to import raw CR2 files from my camera into LR5. I get a message "Files appear to be unsupported or damaged." I know they are not damaged. Does LR5 support raw files? I can do this in Bridge and it converts them to dng files. This would be ideal for me if both could be done in LR5.

    Not sure what the problem is if you say the files re recognized in Bridge? You could test the CR2 files by downloading the free Adobe DNG converter - latest version 8.6 (keep your CR2 originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)and then import the DNG’s. It’s an extra step but I use it all the time to batch process into final folders.
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format, When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format

    When I import raw files from my Nikon D600 into Aperture I get a tryangle sign with "unsupported image format"

    Latest Adobe DNG converter (7.2) DOES indeed convert NEF pictures coming from a D600.
    Head up to Adobe's website and download the app.
    You'll only miss the focus information (focus distance and focus sensors used), but you'll be able to work with raw and not rely on jpg only!

  • Lr4 not importing raw (RW2)

    I've upgraded from Lr3, which was configured for importing raw & jpg, and keeping them independent.  I've installed Lr4, and imported/upgraded that Lr3 library, but the Lr4 import ignores the raw files.  I don't know if it's because it cannot read the Panasonic G3 raw format (RW2), or if I've configured something wrong, or if it's a bug(?)  Please advise ...
    Edit:  I was successful with importing the raw files to the same location with Lr3, and Lr4 does sync these RW2 files, so it's not a problem with reading the raw data ... but seemingly something to do with configuring the import ... but I cannot find where to enable importing the raw.  Lr4 was/is configured for enabling "Treat JPEG next to raw files as separate photos".

    Do you have a global filter that is restricting RW2 files from being viewed?  File Type is one of the Metadata filter possibilities so it could be set.  Try importing a NEW RW2 w/o a JPG and see what happens.  Also, try importing from your internal hard-drive, to narrow down if the source is part of the issue.
    I'm not sure how a global filter would affect Lr4 and not Lr3(?)  ... and I'm not also sure a metadata filter would affect the memory card (or its reader) and not the harddrive(?)
    Regarding the harddrive test you suggest ... I first copied a pair (jpg+rw2) of files to a "test" folder, and Lr4 saw both (but I cancelled).  I then inserted the SD card, and tried to import, but Lr4 saw only the JPGs.  I then copied all of the files to the same "test" folder, and imported all of them, RW2s included.
    I suppose I also have to assume it could be a problem with the memory card -- it is a Sandisk 16Gb "Extreme Pro", that works well in every other respect.  I've first assumed it's a problem with a new software, but I'll ask around to see if anyone has experienced similar problems with the SD card of the SD card reader.

  • Importing Raw Jpeg Pairs with Jpeg as Master

    I give....I imported raw and jpeg as pairs since aperture updated for the D7000. I see the J on the badge. I assume they are stacked. I see where i can change the master to the raw file by right clicking. However, can't i just navigate to the raw file for adjustments or do I have to switch the master? I have looked at the manual. I have a book on aperture, I searched the board. I gotta be missing something really basic! Please help this stupid newbie. Is it better to import both as masters in the future? What do people prefer? tx
    Message was edited by: Sheryl Kingstone

    Hi Sheryl,
    No, you aren't missing anything really basic. The RAW and JPG aren't really stacked. They are associated together in a different way that is only applicable for pulling JPG and RAW versions of the same photo out of your camera together.
    If you can answer the following question, it might help the other users (and mybe you) help you.
    Why is it a problem to have your RAW be the master?
    With your hesitation to switch the master to the RAW, you imply to me that you would like Aperture to work with your JPG files, but at the same time it your question implies that you would like you want to work on your RAW file.
    In my own preference, I struggled with what to start out with, RAW or JPG. I came to the conclusion that I didn't want to spend the time comparing RAW and JPG from my camera and deciding what to do. I no longer capture RAW+JPG in my camera.
    Basically, post-processing the RAW file through Aperture gives you lots more information to work with, as the creation of a JPG in your camera throws out lots of colors and pixels. So, I had to balance things, why would I choose to take a "throwaway snapshot" with RAW if I knew it probably wouldn't be worth post-processing? For instance, all the pictures of my niece at the dinnertable in really bad light. I can't do anything worthwhile in post-processing with the sharp shadows, and the 5 different and ugly light sources, and the fact that she only looked at the camera once. Yeah, I can make it a little better, but not enough that it's worth post-processing to me. So, for those pictures, I just let my camera do the work and use the most basic, point-and-shoot settings most of the time. My camera produces JPG-only in the basic settings.
    On the other hand, for those sunsets, gardens, forests, streams, vistas, etc, I probably would like to do a little post-processing if my exposure wasn't right to begin with. I decided that I would just let Aperture decode the RAW file for me and forget about the JPGs entirely. When I'm using my camera in manual mode (or one of the quasi-manual modes) I shoot in RAW only. Yes, my camera will do a better job rendering a JPG than Aperture will, but Aperture's very good and I figure I wouldn't be looking at the JPG from the camera if I'm doing other post-processing in Aperture.
    That being said, there are many other opinions and othe reasons to choose one way or the other.
    Hope that eas clear enough. I had lots of ideas to write about.
    hope this helps,

  • Can't import RAW files into iPhoto 6 Library from Nikon D700

    For whatever reason I am unable to import RAW files from my Nikon D700 into my iPhoto 6 (version 6.0.6) Library. I can import JPEGs from the D700, but it's no-go with the RAW files. When I attempt to import the RAW files I get the following message:
    "Unreadable Files
    The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)."
    Can anybody solve this mystery for me?

    I presume that the economically-priced Mac Box Set containing OS X 10.5.6 Leopard, iLife '09, and iWork '09 would be the way to go. Do you concur?
    Well that's the cheapest way to do it. You could, of course, buy a new Mac
    Do you feel that my 20" Intel iMac--details listed below--would have any problems handling the upgraded programs?
    It will have no problems with the updated OS or applications.
    'm uneasy at the thought of upgrading my operating system, but I presume that chances of running into problems are much less than if I were upgrading a Windows OS. In case a problem arises my entire hard drive is backed up with a 1T external hard drive using SuperDuper software, but I prefer not to encounter a situation requiring me to use it for restoration purposes.
    The key to any update or upgrade is to make sure that you have a good working back up. That way, should anything go wrong, you have a quick way back to where you started.
    My tips for upgrading the OS? Disconnect the disk with the back up and all other peripherals when you do the Upgrade. Pop the disk in. Do a standard Upgrade. (There are some folks who swear that you should wipe your HD and start over from scratch before you do, but, frankly, that's overkill. I've been upgrading Macs since 1992 and never had a problem.

  • Aperture 3.1.3 Very slow importing raw files

    Aperture 3.1.3 Very slow importing raw files please help
    Pro Photographer. I have a Mac Pro Quad core 1 yr old with 12GB Ram. I import via 2 Firewire 800 card readers - A Lexar & a UDMR Reader.Only using them singly. System has 4 1TB hard drives 1. Applications, 2. Aperture Library, 3. Aperture Vault, 4 Time Machine
    On a photo shoot, first CF card may download and complete in less than a minute but the next card with a similar number of images may take 10 minutes.
    Sometimes if I swap card readers, this can speed up download but then everything slowly grinds to a halt.
    I have closed down all other programmes, switched off Faces and Enable Gestures - switched off  Look up places.
    Situation driving me nuts as we shoot and view images with customers immediately after the session and download time effecting the amount of time we have to do this. Nothing seems logical as such a high spec machine should theoretically fly through this.

    Have you upgraded your OS ans all your Apps to the latest Versions and also rebooted the system?
    Turn on the Activity Viewer (Windows ->Show Activity) while importing, to see how Aperture is spending its time.
    Also launch some tools from the Application -> Utilities folder:
    launch the Console window, to check for diagnostics /error messages
    launch the Activity Viewer, to see how much RAM and CPU time Aperture and other processes are using.
    How much space is free on your system drive? And on the drive you are importing to?
    If you find in the Activity Viewer, that Aperture is slow, but de facto using not much CPU time, then the problem may be a corrupted Aperture Library or corrupted preference files.
    Try to import into a new, empty Aperture library and see if the problem persists.
    If you have no problems with a new Library, try the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
    Start with repairing permissions and repairing the library.
    If none of the measures outlined there, or you need further help, please report back.

  • Importing RAW format files into iPhoto 08

    Hi Guys,
    I searched the back catologue and couldn't find any refs so hopefully this is a valid new post.
    I use iPhoto 08 on an iMac and have always worked with importing jpegs from my cheap but faithful old camera. I now have a nice sexy (& expensive) new camera & can take pictures in RAW format for increased quality. IPhotos tutorials say that it supports RAW but everytime I try to import some files I get a "could not import file" message against the RAW files. My camera automatically takes a duplicate jpeg each time I make a RAW exposure and they import without any problems. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Many thanks. Steve

    Steve
    What camera is it?
    The Raw from every camera model is different - note that's camera Model, not brand - and has to be supported separately. So, the Raw from a Nikon D3 is not the same as the Raw from a Nikon D3s and so on - even though they both produce files with a NEF extension. Same with Canon and it's CR2 files and so on.
    Raw support can also depend the OS and version of iPhoto that you have.
    Regards
