Importing Files seems to be stalled

I am trying to import files to a folder in Dropbox.  It worked the first couple of times I tried the transfer.  The screen says 'Importing Files...'  but it seems to be stalled.  I've tried reinstalling the Dropbox.  I've tried closing Lightroom and Dropbox.  I've tried sending files as DNG, Copy, and Move.  I've tried powering down computer.  Any help would be much appreciated.

I am using Lightroom 4 Beta

  • I have recently purchased an iMac from the Apple store. I previously had a windows computer and I transferred all my important files and music from the old computer onto an external hard drive. I've plugged the hard drive in and I can't seem to locate it!

    Hi everyone,
    Before I set up my new iMac, I transferred all my important files from my old windows computer (pictures, documents, iTunes etc) onto an external hard drive. I had no trouble using and locating my hard drive on my old computer, however I'm having great difficulty finding it on my iMac. The external hard drive is plugged in with all wires connected and correct. I've tried all the USB ports and I still can't locate it!
    I just want to transfer everything from my hard drive to the iMac!
    If anyone could help me locate and guide me through the process of using an external hard drive on an iMac, then that would be brilliant!

    Try using Migration Assistant following this guide:

    There is advice in this document for using Migration Assistant from Time Machine or other hard drive.

  • LR 4.1 RC Does not import files

    I use a Lexar USB 3 card reader to import files created by my Canon 5d Mk-II. I click on Import on the lower left corner of LR, point to the drive which displays the files on the card. But when I click on Import LR simply sites there with the progress bar at the top not moving. I waited for quite a while several times and the files did not copy and import. Then I copied the files using Windows explorer to the folder where they are kept and tried to synchronize the folder but that option was not avaliable from the right-click on the folder name context menu. I have to shut down LR and restart before the Synchronize Folder appears again.
    Another, and possibly related anomaly is the number of files LR report that could be imported. The number is always wrong. For instance, there may be 25 files sync but it reports something like 172.

    A new catalog with nothing in it imported from the Lexar USB 3 compact flash reader. I am traveling abroad and do not have another card reader. However, after the successful import into a blank catalog I imported a few more which hung up as it did in the old catalog. I was able to delete all the imported images ending up with a blank catalog and reimport a couple of sessions in succession. In one of them I observed something but could not replicate: LR imported files that were not marked rather than the few I selected. The ones it seemed to have chosen were short video clips. Since I have not been able to replicate the problem, I am willing to explain that as my error although I was paying particular attention to exclude the video files. I guess that's why this is called "human error"!
    If the integrity of the original catalog I was using is compromised what is the solution? This is a rhetorical question since all the files will be transferred to my desktop computer anyway. I tested the sync folder option, which reported 151 new files. I instructed LR to sync thos files and LR went through all the files and ended up with a blank display of files to sync. I optimized the catalog and tried the same, it still shows 151 files to sync, which is obviously not correct.

  • Imported Files going in the wrong folder

    Elements Organizer 10 started misplacing all the Imported Files in the folder above at some point.
    In Folder Location view (under Display) I right click folder B and chose Import to Elements Organizer. Once the Import is finished, all photos but one are under folder A instead... needless to say my catalog now looks very messy because photos show in folders with different names. In Finder they appear in the right place, and even the File Properties in Elements show the correct location. Just not the Folders.
    I have about 20k files imported in my catalogue, this started happening recently and affects only files imported in certain external drives or partitions.
    I tried the repairs, optimizations, reconnects etc. for the catalogue, looked for updates and restarted the software many times now.
    How can I fix this?

    Hi guys,
    Sorry about slow time to reply.
    I'll try to be a bit more specific.
    The problem seems to happen only with a new firewire drive, Lacie Rugged 1gb.
    I have Mac OS X v10.6.8, processor 2.26Ghz, intel core duo, 8Gb 1067 DDR3; Elements Organizer 10.0
    The problem happens regardless of how I import the files, ie in thumbnail or folder view, and my procedures have not changed since using previous drives (right click folder and chose Import to Elements Organizer). If I am in thumbnail view or folder batch view the files are there, however having to browse among Ks of files is not my preference, I like folder view better.
    I think the image below explains it better: the folder selected is called Group Tax team day (bottom left). The  photo at the top is actually from this folder, but the one at the bottom (and all the others then) are from a folder called HK Dez 2012, which is the last that was imported directly below. You can actually see that the path at the top of the image does not match the selected folder on the lower left. And btw, this means that the files at the top folder in the drive cannot be found in folder view, since they have no folder to move to.
    Appreciate any help on this!

  • Failing to import files correctly from Handycam DVD camera

    Hi,
    I try to import files directly from my Sony Handycam DVD camera to PRE8 by inserting the DVD in the PC.
    There is only audio at the first part of every file. Approximately the first 20 - 30 % of the total video length. The sound does not appear neither in playback in W media player, Quick Time, W movie maker or PRE. Why am I missing the audio?
    What is the best way to import for editing in PRE?
    What is the best file type for editing in PRE?
    What is the fastest way for converting, if needed?
    My handycam camera provides wide screen option. But the wide screen in PRE8 seems to be "wider" than the camera...

    Seems like this got the answers to most of my problems
    That "More Like This" area can really work sometimes. Glad that you saw it, and that it helped.
    If you have more issues, please let us know and good luck,

  • How to store really important files on a Time Capsule

    I'm wondering whether it is wise to store really important files on a Time Capsule (apart from Time Machine) because its hard disk is non-removable and non-replaceable and there is no mirrored backup. One could lose everything in the blink of an eye.
    What workarounds are there? The TC is a brilliantly simple device, but it seems to have many limitations as well.

    i think you already answered your own question
    and there is no mirrored backup.
    well, there is the archive feature ...
    What workarounds are there?
    personally, in addition to TM backups to my TC, i use a couple of external firewire drives, each partitioned in two, and bootably clone my Mac's startup disks to those on a weekly basis.
    week 1 / drive X = MBP to partition A and Mini to partition B
    week 2 / drive Y = MBP to partition C and Mini to partition D
    week 3 and so forth = start over.
    using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper, you could even incrementally clone your internal drives, which saves a lot of time.
    happy computing !

  • Premeire Elements 13 - can't import files into Project Assets, Expert Mode.  Win8.1

    Hello there - I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling.  Can't seem to figure this out.  In other computers, I have imported files into the Project Assets area to "pre-edit" before adding to timeline.  I can add media directly to timeline in Quick Mode, but it's too cumbersome.  Really need ability to select segments of media in the Project Assets list.
    Any help greatly appreciated as I spent a ton of $$ on a new computer and program!!
    Thanks folks!

    What is the typical outcome...
    a. Expert workspace open....Add Media/Files and Folders/and no import into Expert workspace Project Assets, but you do find the import switching to Quick workspace Filmstrip?
    b. Quick workspace open....Add Media/Files and Folders and media goes directly to Filmstrip. And, if you switch to Expert workspace, you find copy of import in Project Assets?

  • Date mismatch when importing files in Library

    I am importing files in my Aperture Library using:
    1/ Referenced Files,
    2/ renaming my files with the following preset: <Custom Name>_Year of picture.Month of picture.Day of picture_Counter, and
    3/ asking Aperture to copy the Master file into folder using the Year>Month hierarchy.
    There are series of pictures which a) have been taken during the same event, b) with the same camera, with c) apparently all correct Metadata, for which I will end up with:
    A> Pictures correctly renamed and stored; and also
    B> Pictures renamed as of January 1st 2001, and stored in the folder 2001>01, while the metadata states the correct date, e.g. not 2001, but say September 2008.
    Please help!!!
    Thanks

    Hi there....  thanks for your response.  I hadn't ticked "show the import dialogue".  When I did though I noticed that the box "Do Not Import Suspected Duplicates" was ticked in the Dialogue.  Unchecking that & then waiting for all of the images to load in the dialogue window (I have 115,000 images on the drive) seems to have solved the problem.  At least 98 3/4% anyway.  There's still a slight discrepancy in numbers between the catalogues on both my home & my work computers, but this is down to only 5 or so across various folders.  I can't explain why that would be.  There seems to be lots of other weird things going on which leads me to suspect LR5 is not playing nicely with Mavericks.  it's frustrating because up until now I've found Lightroom to be 100% reliable, but I'm now feeling like I need to double check every import & export.  if it continues it may be the catalyst to make me finally jump to Capture One.  Anyway, thanks again for your reply.

  • Import Files into iTunes

    I've tried creating 4 or 5 different workflows and can not get the "Import Files into iTunes" action to work. This is only part of a bigger workflow that I want to create, but it's one of the most important steps that I can't seem to make work.
    There is no error in the Automator log, it shows the action completed. But nothing gets added.
    Can someone confirm that this action does indeed work in Snow Leopard 10.6.2 ?

  • Import Files into iTunes: Why not mp3?

    I created a simple workflow and saved it as a Finder plug-in. Two questions:
    1) Anyone know why iTunes allows (under +Add to Library+) the import of mp3 files, but when creating an Automator workflow using the +Import Files into iTunes+, the mp3 option is not supported. In other words, you have to use a different Automator function like +Add Songs to Playlist+. This works too, but it takes a long time because iTunes has to convert each file to AAC. The +Add to Library+ function in iTunes is wicked fast, and I don't care what format the files are in.
    2) After creating a Finder plug-in and wanting to delete it, where does it live? I can't find it. Spotlight can't find it. I just want to remove it.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply, red. It seems that +Import Audio Files+ supports mp3, but the description on the +Import Files into iTunes+ doesn't specifically include mp3. I suppose a quick test will reveal. The original reason for the question is that the Automator workflow seems to force a conversion of each mp3 file -- even when choosing the mp3 option in +Import Audio Files+ -- which obviously slows down the process.
    When from iTunes I choose Add to Library, navigate to the target folder and click OK, iTunes completes the 80-or-so files in no time.
    Thanks for the tip on where to find the plug-in. I deleted it. The Automator desktop apps seem to work better.

  • Problems importing files or folders into my itunes library

  • Live Capture Plus, CatDV and FCPX Import Files

    I have tested my workflow process as set out in thread:
    Re: Is my workflow reasonable for a beginner?
    capturing Sony handycam DV using Live Capture Plus - that seems to work fine.
    Files set up in CatDV under the appropriate directory structure as mov type files - that seems to work fine.
    Tested files with QuickTime and the Inspector shows DV for the imported clips.
    Went into FCPX used Import Files - I selected the DV file in the CatDV directory and checked Create Optimizd Media.  The problem is that transcoded media was not created in the Event directory as I thought would happen.
    I do get a small alias file in the Event - Original Media directory.
    The clip does import and opens fine in FCPX - on reveal it points to the DV media in the CatDV Directory.
    Is there a reason ProRes422 optimized media was not created?
    Additionally going into the event after the import and trying to optimize the clip manually the Create Optimized Media (and Create Proxy Media) options are greyed out.
    Thanks.

    Read the help file on importing and on the page Import Preferences their are a few words that indicate:
    "If the original camera format can be edited with good performance, this option will be dimmed." as it relates to creating optimized files.
    Guess that means the DV file provide "good performance".

  • Evernote: Can I delete the imported file???

    If you are a premium suscriber to Evernote, can you delete the original file (i.e., PDF, Excel, ...) that was imported into Evernote or do you need to keep it for future editing, sharing or such?
    It seems Evernote copies the imported file and puts it into the Evernote folder located in the hidden Library directory (user/home/library/application support/evernote).

    The people here are visitors who might have knowledge and might choose to share it, if they have the time, and feel like answering a question. Your questions, instead, suggest that you think it is someone's job here to answer your questions. If you want it to be someone's job, you should raise a support case. This too will require patience.
    You will not welcome this advice, I am sure, but it is well not to try to use your own deadline to try to make other people feel the problem is more urgent to them.

  • Trouble importing files

    I have been given an external hard drive that contains a bunch of old home movies. They are stored as MPEG-2 Videos (the extension says m2v). I can't import the files into iMovie 09 (they are grayed out) and from what little I've read it sounds like maybe that format isn't supported. I can import the files into an older version (iMovie HD), but then it won't let me import those files into iMovie 09 (I also have a completed iMovie HD project that it won't let me import -- it seems to work, but when I click on the event all is says is "no matching video"). What file format do the files need to be in and what can I use to convert them? I'm not much of a techie so any help (explained in laymen's terms) would be appreciated.

    I have the same problem, too.
    It's quite annoying that I can't import some folders.
