Importing errors - photos moved but not cataloged

Hello all,
I'm having an issue with LR3 (Mac OSX 10.6.4) when importing photos from HDD into the catalog. Some of the photos imported (seemingly random) will error out with a code (8) "some files could not be moved".. or something to that effect. I used finder to validate that there are no other instances of that filename that could have been imported into the LR3 catalog.
When I open the dated folder (default LR3 save location) outside of lightroom, I see that the images were copied, however they do not appear in the catalog. If I attempt to re-import these photos from their new location (the location LR moved them to), this seems to work.
This happens about 40% of the time on import. It seems that tagging on import may be related, however I am tagging all photos in an import batch and only some are not making it into the database.
Is anyone else having a similar issue?
Thanks
Tony

Tony, I too am having this problem. Importing and moving will move the files but then fails, a sync on the new folder will finish the load process.
Until LR3 I've only "played" with Lightroom but now I'm organizing years of image in various formats. As a result I've noticed the problem is specifically related to my RAW files. If I'm not importing raw files I can import/move 10 to 20 directories no problem. But if a RAW file is involved the only way to reduce the problem is to import one directory at a time. Note I said reduce, because the error still happens on occasion. If more than one directory is being moved the problem happens 100% of the time.
Hope this helps
Charles

Most likely, the "requested location" where you are trying to copy files to does not have WRITE permission, and so you need to change the permissions.

HT204150 My Contact from ICloud imports only the name but not every thing else. But that only happens with my own card

My Contact from ICloud imports only the name but not every thing else if I want to import it to Contact on my Mac. But that only happens with my own card.
Before, my V-Card in Contacts on my Mac was ok, but now it disappeared. When I try to import it from ICloud only my name appears.
Can anyone help me? Thanks

The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos. Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them. Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.

Isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

Hi
Is this an Internal or External iSight ?
In iChat, in the Video Menu (This is to the right of Buddies and may read Audio) is Camera Enabled Ticked ?
If it reads Audio open the Connection Doctor from that same menu.
In the connection Doctor open the Capabilities tab
Does it say your Internet Connection is too slow ?
At this point I would need to know which iChat Version.
However also look in the View Menu.
Is Show VIdeo Status ticked ? (this shows green Icons next to your Buddy Pic and those of your Buddies
Next go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section
Do you see a preview here ?
Re: GoogleTalk
Have you enabled TALK on your Google Account Settings ?
You need to have a Google Mail ID (Not any other sort of Google ID)
Have you downloaded the Intel only Web Browser Plug-in to do Video in a Web Browser.

Not those whole folders, but their contents, maybe.
If the user account now on the Mac has read rights to the user account(s) on the backups, yes. If not, you may have to do some finagling.
Try the Browse Other Backup Disks option, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17. If you find an account that can open those folders, restore what you want to an alternate location (#16 in the FAQ).
If not try creating one or more accounts temporarily.

ITunes does only sync photo's but not music and video. Help please

I have loaded ios5 on both my iPad and my iPhone4. For about a week, all worked fine and i restored my music, video's and photo's. However since about a week, music and viceo's are removed from the iPhone. That was after the change from summer- to winter-time. And iTunes does not want to sync them back to the phone. On my iPad all is still there. I looked at my settings and the only difference between the iPad and the iPhone is that on the iPhone i see a switch for iTunes Match, but that does not work in my country yet. When i look in the left column of iTunes i see my music marked under the musicdirectory of my iPhone, but with a sych mark. ( the little circle). So i can add and remove photo's, but not music or video items. Has anyone an idea what to do?
By the way, all my other stuff(agenda, notes etc.) are synched thru iCloud.

Are you viewing on 'Videos' or did you find it in your music list?

After "upgrade" to new firefox, bookmarks didn't transfer. Help tells how to import from another browser but not old firefox. Also my anti virus (latest update) apparently not compatible with 4.0 Can I restore my old version

Question
After "upgrading" to new firefox none of my bookmarks are in new bookmarks help topics tell me how to import from another browser but not from previous version of firefox. Another problem is my anti virus ( most up to date) is apparently not compatible with 4.0 liked the old firefox would never have "upgraded" had I known my anti virus wouldn't work. Can I get old version back

Check with Kaspersky as to what versions of Firefox their programs are compatible with. It is up to Kaspersky to keep their stuff up to date as Mozilla releases new versions of Firefox. And if they are unwilling or incapable of doing it, they should inform their customers of such and maybe refund their customers instead of stringing them along.

Can't figure how to select a whole album to upload to Flickr. If I select all the photos in an album, the photos upload but not my titles.

Export the photos out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option to a folder on the Desktop. Then drag the folder onto the disk icon on the Desktop and burn. Be sure to select the Kind, qualtiy and size of the file you need.

Why do pictures I took on my iPad show up in photo stream but not the iPad camera roll?

Why do pictures I took on my iPad show up in photo stream but not the iPad camera roll?

The developers may not have made a version compatible with Mac OS X; if they have, it is a separate download.

When I import photos they show up in the photo tab but not in events. Not sure what's going on.

Today I tried to import photos from my camera into iPhoto 11. No problems up until today. I imported the photos as usual, but they did not show up in the events section. I went to the Photo section and they appeared there. I could even name the event there, but it still wasn't visible in Events. The only way to get it to show up was to merge the events in the Photo section into an event that was appearing and then split the event. Very strange. I imported from my iPhone 5 with no problems. Photos appeared in both Events and Photos. Anyone else have this happen? Solutions? I called support and they did not have any suggestions other than to try to restart computer. That didn't solve it.

You are probably looking in the wrong place - all photos in Photo view and in event too unless you have a corrupted library
most common cause of your not finding them is bad sort - view menu ==> sort events
Nest most common cause is a bad data/time on the camera - this can be corrected using a smart album to find the photos from that camera and then using using the adjust time/date command to fix the bad ones
YOu can alwasy find the event a Photo is in by selecting it and selecting show event

IPhoto 08 imported for one user but not another

We have iPhoto '08 ver 7.1.5 and it worked fine with my login. I could import photos from our Canon PowerShot SD960 into my iPhoto library. But when my wife logged in and tried to import the same photos she got a message stating "Unreadable Files" and "the following file could not be imported".
On her login using Image Capture, she could import the pictures off the camera and save them to her Desktop then she could view and also save them using Preview and could also import them to her iPhoto library from the Desktop folder she had saved them into.
I reformatted the camera's card and I also used iPhoto Library Manager and rebuilt her Library.
We can now both import pictures fine but I'm wondering for how long this will be the case.
Same exact situation existed with another camera we have - it worked for me but not for her.
Just curious to know what the cause might have been in case it's something we are doing that is causing the issue.

HI Bob,
You can test your settings by clicking the big "Test My DNS" button at <https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/services/dnsentropy>. If you see "Poor" on any of the tests, don't use that domain name server! Remove it from Apple Menu => System Preferences =>Network =>DNS Servers or similar location in your router if you've got a 'home network'. If all you have is "poor" DNS servers in your list, call your ISP and insist that they give you the address of a name server which is protected against the recently exposed DNS cache-poisoning threat.
Also, open System Preferences/Network. Click the DNS tab. Add these numbers in the DNS Servers box.

Help! iPhone 5 works with iCloud for Contacts and Photo Stream, but Not Music!

Okay, totally stumped! I have an iPhone 5, which, new, I restored from wife's iPhone 4 backup, remotely (3 Months ago). I just signed into our family Apple ID, chose the most recent backup, and did a restore. So, contacts, and photos and Apps backup to the cloud instantly, which is shared on all devices. Likewise, when my wife takes a phone picture, I can see it in the stream: all without doing an iTunes Sync. My phone's settings have my number associated with my contact card, so the phone doesn't "think" it is my wife's phone.
The dilemna: iCloud won't send my phone new music purchases from our iMac, or iPad. My phone has it's own physical identity on Find My iPhone, but interestingly, it does not appear in the list of devices, in the "Manage my Devices" section when I am signed into iTunes with my Apple ID. Furthermore, even though I have the phone settings to Sync with iTunes wirelessly, when plugged into AC power, with iTunes on, the iPhone 5 does initiate backups with iTunes; even after rebooting iTunes. My phone does not appear in the list of devices for iTunes, AND the only way I can sync with my computer is with the USB/Lightning cable. Even then, I do not get music purchases to load onto my iPhone which i have bought on my computer.
Currently running Mac OSX 10.7.5 on my iMac and IOS 6.1 on my iPhone5.
Appreciate any help,
THANKS

The way I do that is to organize them on my computer. I periodically import all of the Camera Roll to the computer. That is a good thing to do to insure you have a copy in case of loss of the phone or other problem, even if you backup the phone. Import can be done by methods described in iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Once they are on the computer I organize them in iPhoto on my Mac. If you have a Windows computer you can organize them in folders. Once they are on the computer I delete them all from the Camera Roll on the phone to make it easier next time -- i.e., the Camera Roll always only contains the photos that I haven't yet organized.
I only want some of the pictures that I am keeping to be sent back to the phone, so in Windows I made a second copy of those (in iPhoto on a Mac I use Albums instead). I had a main folder (e.g. "Photos for iPhone") and subfolders (only 1 level below the main folder) with various topics. Then use iTunes to sync the photos back to the phone (selecting the main folder). iTunes: Syncing photos
The end result is that they are organized in Albums on the phone, are not in the Camera Roll, and I have a copy of them on my computer.

Photos downloaded but not copied into iphoto

I downloaded 92 photos from my camera to iphoto 7.1.5, the download finished, I deleted the original photos on the camera at the prompt to keep or delete originals, and iphoto then crashed. When I restarted iphoto, the photos I'd just downloaded did not appear in iphoto. The previous import shows up as the latest import.
I called Apple's tech support and they told me that the download was completed and the photos copied before I got the prompt to "keep or delete originals". However, they said the photos did not then get copied over from the folder into which they were copied to the last import folder.
Steve at the tech support told me that I could either pay them $49 for tech support or I could go to the apple support communities and try to get help. So, I'm hoping someone can tell me how to get access to my photos and copy them into the import folder in iphoto.
Thanks to anyone who can help me solve this problem.

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

IPhoto6 likes some photo's but not others

Hi All,
I've a real problem with iPhoto and thought some of you gurus could maybe help. I've around 3500 photo's in my library. I populated my library by importing photo's from my folders on my Windows PC (networked to my Mac) and more recently directly from my camera (all done as I'm supposed to - through iPhoto). The photo's are all there, no problems opening iPhoto etc - the application is swift and neat. Now here's the problem.
I have created a number of albums and have organised my photo's (or am trying to) by album. I'm dragging the photos from the main library into the appropriate album, however, some photo's do not like being dragged and dropped at all - they eventually do (after say 5 minutes of spinning beach ball) place a copy (or reference to main original file) in the album. There may be some reason behind this but from my perspective it appears random - there's no telling which photo iPhoto will and will not like. This reduces my productivity heaps - what should be a very slick and easy task turns into a hair-pulling, eye-poppingly frustrating one.
This of course also mucks up all the other iLife applications eg iDVD - I'm using the albums to create slideshows - dragging and dropping the albums to a slideshow created in iDVD easy? Nope - will not import some photo's. Same goes for iWeb.
There should be no problems with imported photos as I kept all photo's on my old PC organised in a similar way to the Mac does anyway ie by month and then by original and by edited.
I've also tried cleaning thumbnails and entire library (marginal performance achieved) and running onyx to clean permissions etc. I've taken out RAW files and movies taken on camera's to see if that would work...nope. Running out of ideas now...

do you know if it is possible to open multiple instances/windows of iPhoto
As Terence stated, no. The best you can do is to use iPLM or iPhoto Buddy to quickly jump between libraries. Or use iTLM to merge the one library into the other and keep them all in one. In any case take a look at the tip at the end of my signature. It may help protect you against damaged database files which has been an all to common problem here.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
