Importing only the thumbnails

Hello,
My main photo program is lightroom 2. I have installed aperture 3 in order to test it. I don't want to import all my pictures into the Aperture library. Therefore I clicked in the import menu " Store Files in their current location".So I guess Aperture is only creating links and thumbnails to my pictures. After a while I can see all my pics in aperture. But after closing aperture and reopening it, aperture starts to update the library and starts to copy all pics. The library size increases more and more to over 3 GB after having only 300 pictures updated. Why?
I am looking for a way to use Lightroom and Aperture together but without doubling my pics on the HD. I have over 10.000 pic in dng/raw. It would waste to much space. Can anybody help?
Thanks

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.

Importing only the metadata

Hi,
I have a full database dump and I would like to import only the metadata, i.e., only the objects structure.
My database is an Oracle 8i versioned. I used the following:
imp system file= log= full=y rows=n
kindly let me know if I am wrong or is there any other way to do this.
With the above statement only the schemas are created but there are no objects at all.

b) OWNER=<schema_name>

How to have iPad (iOS 5) import only the JPEG from a RAW JPEG pair?

I have an iPad 2 16 GB, running iOS 5. I also have a Canon EOS 7D. I purchased a CF Card Reader for the iPad (see http://store.micgadget.com/card-readers/280-ipad-2-cf-card-camera-connection-kit .html) so that I can view and edit photos quickly in the field, without having to lug my laptop around. To make this easier, I set my camera to shoot RAW+JPEG. I shoot with the smallest JPEG files possible, still a relatively large for the iPad 2,592x1,728, with the idea that I'd only import the JPEG files to the iPad, but still have the RAW files to work with when I get back to my computer. This works great with one exception: the iPad doesn't allow me to import only the JPEG files, but grabs the RAW files along with them. As you can imagine, this fills up my iPad rather quickly, and takes quite a bit longer to import than if it only grabbed the JPEGs.
So here is my question: How do I have my iPad import only the JPEGs from the RAW+JPEG pairs on the memory card?
One workaround that helps slightly. If I connect my iPad to my computer after the import, I can go in via Image Capture, select all the RAW images and delete them, leaving the JPEGs behind. This is an underwhelming solution, but does save space after the fact.

What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions

HT201302 How to import only the newest iPhone photos to iPhoto library/Mac

I have an iPhone 4s and every time I connect my iPhone to my Mac it downloads all the photos.
How do I import only the newest photos? To have to check what I already have in albums and select only the latest would be very
time consuming. There must be an easier way.

When iPhone is connected and selected in computer iTunes, in Photos tab >
in Selected albums, Events, and Faces, and automatically include > select "the most recent Event"

XML: import only the body element...

I need import only the body element...
var myXMLFile=File.openDialog("Choose XML.......");
myDoc.importXML(File(myXMLFile.body));
But not work...!!!
It this possible?

It this possible?
Not like that!
What you've written doesn't make much sense:
var myXMLFile=File.openDialog("Choose XML.......");
myDoc.importXML(File(myXMLFile.body));
In this code, myXMLFile is a File object. File objects do not have .body properties, so myXMLFile.body is not valid.
And even if a File object did have a .body property, it would presumably be some sort of XML content inside the File. But the File() constructor takes a string argument that is a filename. So File(myXMLFile.body) wouldn't work either!
I think you should take a step back and make sure you understand the basics before you try to put them together like this.
Since the importXML() method only takes a file, a solution is to read the XML file, pull out the <body/> element, write it to another file,and then call importXML() on the new file.
Alternatively, you can create an XSLT transformation and set doc.XMLImportPreferences to mandate its use. If you're not familiar with XSLT, learning it may not be appropraite for this task.
But perhaps your requirements are overly restrictive -- why can't you import the whole file and then only instruct InDesign to deal with the body element?

Can you import only the audio?

In the latest version of FCPX, is there a way to import only the audio and not the video (I'm dealing with AVCHD files, if that matters)?

No. But, once you get the media into your event browser there is an easy way to bring just the audio to your timeline.

Can't see full picture in photobook only the thumbnail on page view

I made a photo book of my wedding and everything looked good. Then one day i opened it up to look at it and order the book and now all i can see for one of the pictures is the thumbnail at the top of the screen. It does not show up in the main view of the book and if i double click on the picture it goes to full screen and i see it for a split second then it dissapears to black. If I do a preview of the book that whole page of the book just shows up as a blank page.

d_b:
What has happened is the iPhoto database file has been damaged/corrupted somehow. It can happen if the user has renamed or moved any files or folders inside the iPhoto Library from the Finder or if there's been some sort of interruption while iPhoto is writing to that file. Since you're already tried rebuilding the library unsuccessfully, I believe your only option is to create a new library and import the Originals folder from the old one as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
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.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Is there a way to import only the Address Bookfrom OE into TB? When I started to import my full data, I clicked Cancel, TB crashed, & my Address Book vanished.

Hi, I am in the process of migrating from Outlook Express 6 to Thunderbird. Thunderbird made the migration very easy, a click of an "Outlook Express" radio box selection for import. But then I made it hard on myself by deciding I wanted to fix an OE .dbx folder-file (make it importable, previously not imported likely because it was marked "read only" and then re-import. I started to re-import OE into TB but then got nervous when I saw everything was importing, not a single dbx folder-file I wanted to fix. I clicked "Cancel" in TB, and then, when I later opened TB, noticed that my Address Book now is empty. It was definitely full before. Any ideas how to import strictly my contacts again? I am thinking of importing my entire OE data again if the answer to that post is that the re-import will not result in double OE line items. If I re-import all of OE, my Address Book should reappear, too, right?

Oops, I found the answer to my question. Great knowledge base! I had originally imported via the automatic popup dialog box that appeared when I installed TB, and didn't absorb at the time that there would be a way to do an import later, after TB install, too, and even for specific parts of OE (address book vs. mail messages, etc.).
I pasted the link to the "Migrate to Thunderbird" page that includes how to migrate just an Address Book from OE, but the following is all that pastes in: 9723729938
I have typed out the link here:

MXF file plays with audio on Source Monitor but timeline imports only the video

Hello,
This started happening like a few hours ago. But it was working perfectly before! This is driving me insane!
This is the situation (Premiere CC, updated to latest version):
- I have a bunch of MXF files and if I play them on the Source Monitor, audio and video play perfectly.
- The moment I drag the MXF file onto the timeline, only the video is imported, not the audio.
- I tried to drag only the audio, using the different ways that Premiere provides but it won't come at all.
I managed to import audio and video doing the following: close all sequences, and drag the MXF file in the timeline with no sequence opened thus it will create a sequence with the imported audio and video from the MXF file.
BUT if I try to drop the SAME MXF file in this brand new sequence, only the video will come again.
Does anyone have an idea of what is going on? And why it suddenly stopped working?
Thank you!

Exporting and importing only the Incremental datas

Dear all,
we r facing a big time consuming process of changing oracle schema datas from live servers to out testing servers..
scenario as follows:
1. .dmp files of size 1GB to 3 GB are taken from live server and posted in test servers to check the live issues
2. same sized dumps are taken for simulation to rectify issue
this type of above process consumes the whole time for exporting and importing
can any one suggest me how can the incremental data's alone can be exported and imported to the test server.
Hoping that i can get a valuable solution for this
Thanks in Advance
S.Aravind

Hi Aravind,
as Nicolas specified RMAN would be the best option.
Incremental data refresh is not possible through exp/imp. but there is a possiblity of writing a script which automates this refresh process.

Is there a possibilty to import ONLY the RAW pictures via Organizer and let the jpeg's on the camera?

When I import the pictures from the camera (Olympus OMD Em-1): can I only import the RAW-pictures into the organizer?
Hope for help I'm not very good in englisch sorry.
txs
Alexandra

Alexandra,
The downloader module of Elements does not provide an option to filter imported files by their type (jpg or raw). You can only filter videos from still photos. I agree that would be a welcome addition!
What you can do instead:
- use your OS (explorer / finder) to import the files to your computer via your card reader : you can order your files to import by extension (jpg, CR2, NEF...) and select the raw files. Then use the 'Import' feature of Elements to import from 'Files and Folders' (that 'registers' the files in the catalog).
- Or you can use the standard Element download and delete the jpegs afterwards. Not very elegant, but that works.
- Or you can use the 'Import' feature of Elements and choose from 'Files and folders' instead of From camera or card reader, then browse to the card reader. The card reader will be considered as a separate drive. You can select only raws in the import dialog by setting the file order to file extension (CR2, NEF...) instead of file name. You select the first item, then Shift Click on the last one. Only raws are selected. Now, be careful to have the checkbox to 'copy' the files ticked. Otherwise, Elements would consider your pictures to be on a removeable drive. The picture files will be copied on your computer in a special 'photo from removable drives' subfolder.

Can we import only the music and not vocals?

I use garage bad on my Ipad 2, and and creating some songs. Is there a way to import a song from our library on the ipad and just have the music be imported and not lyrics/vocals.
I want to be able to sing my own song over the music.
for personal use only of course
thanks

Aside from the technical problem to import audio files into GB for iPad - it's not very easy to strip single tracks from a mixed song, sort of like un-mixing cookie dough:
