Importing "Corrupt" Libraries/Images/xmp Files Into LR 1

I've experienced the "corrupt library" problem experienced by so many, in which LR 1 tries to "upgrade" libraries that worked perfectly well in beta 4.1, but then apologizes because they're "corrupt"--and then exits when you hit the OK button to acknowledge the false error report (because OK is the only option you're given). I eventually fired up LR 1 successfully by first moving the existing library out of its subfolder in My Pictures. While that's a start, I do not want to forever lose the crops, tonality adjustments, etc. that I made in LR beta, so what's the next step?
When I look at my "old" folders in Windows Explorer, I can see the RAW image files and their corresponding .xmp files. If I try to Import one of those old folders into new LR 1, however, I only have the option to select "Supported Files," which do not include those beta-created .xmps. [Aside: Missing is the Select Folder button to automatically import the entire folder. What's up with that downgrade from beta???]
So, if I Ctrl + a to select the entire contents of an old folder, all my RAW images get imported fine into LR 1, but not the information regarding the prior LR beta edits. Does anyone know a trick for recovering that beta-generated information--which, I assume, resides in the .xmp files, which I'm not given the option of importing into LR 1?
Hopefully, Adobe won't abandon all of us who helped them beta-test the product.

I'm also struggling with this frustrating 'corrupt library' syndrome, and I haven't imported anything from the Beta, I created a whole new library in version 1. When prompted to back up I got the dreaded corruption warning. Any bright sparks out there figured out an easy way around this?

  • How to convert XMP files into JPEG ones?

    I need to convert 16 xmp files into jpeg or tiff ones.

    XMP files are metadata files, so you are wanting to print out the text metadata associated with these 16 images? You will usually see them once a raw file (like NEF or CRW) is processed through Adobe Camera Raw. XMP files are not images.

    I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data does not.)

    HI Dave,
    I'm surprised you get no message when you attempt opening the Excel document in Numbers.
    I'm assuming Numbers 3.1, since you are running Mavericks.
    Does the Numbers file that opens show any content?
    Does it contain a table?
    How large?
    Does it contain more than one tab (indicating more than one sheet)?
    Do those other tabs contain a table?
    Have you checked those tables for data content?
    There have been cases in the past of imported documents opening with white text on a white background, giving the appearance of containing nothing. Check for this by selecting a block of cells, then applying a Fill colour or a Text colour using the Format button (paintbrush).
    I'd also suggest attempting to open the Excel files using LibreOffice, which can be downloaded from the linked website.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Lightroom 4.1 - I Cannot import Nikon D300s video / movie files into catalogue - Can you?

    Hi,
    I can import all of my movie files produced by other cameras into my Lightroom 4.1 catalogue, I have the most recent version of Quicktime installed and obviously as I can import other camera model movies it proves that the basic Lightroom services and processes are working fine.
    When I try to import the movie, first on the import module it says 'unable to create preview' and then it states, 'this movie file contains no video frames'.
    I had gone back to Lightroom 3.5, but have since realised this version doesn't publish my movie files to flickr if they are >30Mb due to the way the Lightroom 3 Publishing module craps out on memory usage.
    I know the D300s records movies using the J-MPEG codec, but I'm not sure if this is a problem with the codecs installed on my machine or whether Lightroom does not support this codec?
    Before I waste another few days on trying to resolve the D300s import issue, can anybody else preview and import their Nikon D300s video files into Lightroom 4 or 4.1?
    Thanks,
    Simon

  • How to batch or individual import Canvas .CVX and .CNV files into AI CS6(mac)?

    Is anyone aware how to batch or individually import Canvas .CVX and .CNV files into AI CS6(mac)? I have a large old graphics library representing 10 years of work which would be very nice to convert into Illustrator CS6...
    Thanks a lot for any hint -

    It's not a matter of exporting a file that Windows will recognize; it's a matter of exporting a file format that Illustrator can import or open.
    A Mac OS version of Canvas is under development, by the way.

    My bad. Typo on my part. I meant one that Adobe will recognize.
    Too early yet. I shouldn't try to type before I get my first morning tea.

  • How do you import CSV, tab, and OFX files into multiple Numbers columns

    This Apple function from Numbers '08 Help "Importing a Document" does not seem to work:
    "You can create a new Numbers spreadsheet by importing a document created in Microsoft Excel or AppleWorks 6. Numbers can also import files in comma-separated value (CSV) format, tab-delimited format, and Open Financial Exchange (OFX) format."
    No amount of experimenting with Import, Export, Save As, Paste and Match Style, or using other applications will enable importing CSV, tab, or OFX files into multiple Numbers columns. Instead, all data is imported into a single Numbers column, which then has to be manually and tediously parsed one data element at a time into columns, one row, and one column at a time.

    Jerrold Green1 wrote:
    Joe,
    They all have worked here. I'm not presently able to try in Numbers 08, but I know I've done them all.
    Just double-clicking a .csv file will open Numbers and display the data in a table. Dragging a .csv file to your Numbers icon on the Dock will open it as a Numbers table. Dragging it to a Sheet in an open Numbers document will make a new table in an existing document, and dragging to a table will insert the csv file into the table you dropped it into.
    CAUTION
    With Numbers '08, CSV files must use the comma as delimiter on every setting of decimal separator.
    Numbers '09 behave differently.
    With your tab-delimited file open in a word processor, copy it, then paste it into a table in an open Numbers document. When doing this, select a cell in the table, but don't double-click into the text field of the cell, then paste.
    Why use this long road when we may import directly Tab Separated Values file (tsv.txt) with Numbers '08 (or '09) ?

  • Why can I only import xml, xdp, or xfd files into my pdf form?

  • Import a .srt or .sub file into QuickTime movie

    How do I import a .srt or .sub file into QuickTime movie (i.e. pre-made subtitles). I don't want to burn or create a new copy of this movie. I'd just like to view this movie (which is in Italian) with the *.srt subtitle file that came with it.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   QuickTime 7.1.6

    Thank you Dave, but unfortunately I've tried both of these. Well, I don't have QT-Pro, just the regular OEM version and incorporated the TitleLab components to my Library > QuickTime folder, but to no success.
    Do you think that this TitleLab software will work properly on OS X 10.4 and QuickTime 7? This product is designed to run on the following operating systems: Mac OS Classic, Mac OS X 10.1 & Mac OS X 10.2...
    So, the upgraded QuickTime 7 Pro doesn't have a native subtitling ability? That's unfortunate!
    I also tried the Perian "JackKnife" beta version. It doesn't quite work... It pretty much places the subtitles in brand new blank screens (not aligned with the film at all). I.e. The film will run, talking will occur, then the screen will go blank and the subtitles will appear at the top, then the subtitles will disappear (after the same duration as the film portion) and the film will resume... Essentially, it's messed up.
    Thanks. Maybe another suggestion?

  • Import 32 GB of AVI files into FCP X?

    Hello, I need to import 32 GB of AVI files into FCP X. It seems iMOVIE has no problem accepting AVI's, but FCP X says they are not "importable" (as I believe AVI is not a supported format in FCP X).
    Can someone please recommend the best way for me to import 32GB of AVI into FCP X? With brief research, I believe Mpeg Stream Clip (?) would be an option, but I want something efficient and will be able mass convert if necessary (don't want to convert each individual clip).
    Also what would be the best filetype to convert the AVI's into?
    Any prompt insight would really be appreciated, thanks in advance.
    GSI

    Well, I've got time if thats what it takes.
    My goal is to convert the 32gb of "AVI files" into something compatible in FCP X without reducing the video quality. I don't know a specific file type, I just imported them from MINI DV into Sony Vegas (and then just dragged the files from Vegas onto an external and now just want them to get into FCP X)
    I just downloaded Stream Clip, added 100 clips (4gb) of avi clips to batch list, but am having trouble converting. I tried converting to DV or Quicktime and the response is "Error: Can't create the MOV file"

  • Can Lightroom recognize and import gps coordinates from xmp files?

    Hello guys
    i have LR 4.2 and using Lion with a MBP.
    I recently got gps4cam for my iphone to record gps coordinates.
    Unfortunately i imported all the pix of my vacation to LR instead of importing them with the gp24cam app first
    so Now i have the xmp files with gps coordinates in a separate file for each photo, but LR even though ca see that file, does not import any of the info on it
    Is there a way to force LR to read and recognize those gps coordinates without having to delete all the pix of my vacation from LR, and re-import them to my mac before with the gps4cam app and afterwards import em in LR.?
    i mean i cant believe there is not way to do that...
    y LR can read and recognize gps coordinates if are on a picture, but cant recognize and attach those same coordinate to the original fine if they are in a separate xmp file?
    thanks for your input guys
    matteo

    I would process differently:
    Import your images as usual directly into LR, without the GPS data
    copy the gpx-track from your external device to a storage sport from where LR can access it (my choice: same folder as my images).
    Use either the map module to populate LR records with the GPS data (as stated by jim1403) or a plugin from Jeffrey Friedl for geo-encoding.
    If you want to have the GPS data in your xmp, trigger the save from LR then (cmd s; may be auto-activated in your catalog settings)
    Please note that several import problems have been reported by using other software before LR to update something. Do not let your GPS tracking software touch your images, especially if it offers to write into your proprietary raw files, at least not into your only copy of them... I consider this way too dangerous for my precious negatives. If it also creates xmp, then fine.
    I am also a happy user of MotionX-GPS.
    The real disdavantage of the LR command to read metadata from files is that it is all-or-nothing: it would be so convenient if one could choose which partial sort of metadata (EXIF, IPTC, development, GPS-coordinates, rating+caption+title) - but that would be a matter of a feature request, not for this forum.

  • How to import old iPhone SMS.CSV file into new iPhone?

    Hey everyone,
    So I've spent a couple days on this as I just upgraded to the iPhone5S from my 4S.  Long story short, my backup restore didn't work after multiple tries (gave me the file is corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone error). 
    I tried:
    -reinstalling itunes
    -updating itunes
    -combining the 5S backup with the old 4S backup
    -tinyumbrella
    and a few of other things as I've forgot now.
    The most important things I needed was the contact list and SMS history.  I've got the contact list from extracting is successfully from the iTunes backup folder and using iCloud, but cannot figure out how to import the SMS.CSV file into my iPhone5S.
    Any suggestions on how I can get my SMS messages from my iPhone4s into my 5S?
    If anyone has any other suggestions on getting my Backup Restore to work that would be awesome too!
    Thanks!

    A word on SMS text messages. It is pracitcally impossible to import an SMS text-messages file to a new iPhone and have the Messages app on the new device read the messages.
    You can transfer, however contacts and other individual data (such as calendars and notes) from one iphone to the next. I had my old Nokia which whose contacts I exported to a CSV file. I then imported the file to my iphone which converted the file into multiple contacts in the Contacts app on the iphone. You can use a contact management app such as this one in order to import the contact file to the new iPhone.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 not importing GPS data from xmp file

    PSE 10 is not importing GPS information from the xmp file. Lightroom correctly records the
    GPS data but this info in not brought in when I add the photo to the PSE 10 catalog.  Has anyone experienced
    the same problem?

    The Google map module and geotagging have only just been added to LR4, released this week. There is no longer a map feature in Elements since Adobe dropped the earlier tie-up with Yahoo. Adobe reserves the right to change and amend partner services and this has disappointed many users of previous versions of PSE. It’s possible that the map could be re-introduced into future versions of PSE but don’t count on it and given the significant price cut on LR4, the decision could be strategic.
