Importing problems with LR4

I import from memory card. After a few seconds of importing the pictures, it goes to a black screen that says "please select a source" Using LR4 on a PC running vista. I have tried copying the picture to a folder on my harddrive but when I ask LR to import it says there is nothing in that folder. I have checked the pictures are there.

Codec packs, even the "better" ones, do not typically provide codecs that Premiere and Encore can use.
The "problem" file is a flash format (whether it is an mp4 container or not).
"Consumer" type DVD authoring/burning applications, and even more so, all in one apps like windows movie maker etc, may be more "powerful" when you are trying to take a large range of formats and create a DVD with relatively few options. This is not Encore's strength.
Encore will reject almost anything that has flaws it isn't able to handle, but more importantly (once you get to this step), it will treat as noncompliant (and re-transcode) anything that is not DVD compliant.
My guess is that you need to get the flash into something that will work better for transcoding to DVD compliant.
I would first try to bring one of the problem files into Adobe Media Encore, and see if you can export an MPEG2-DVD file.
Not that, while there are some less known DVD resolutions, I assume you are going to end up with 720x576 PAL. I wonder what the quality will look like....
If you are just looking to get the files onto a DVD to play on a DVD player, just stick with DVDStyler.

Import problems with LR 4.4

I am suddenly having problems importing photos with Lightroom. I get an error message "Some import operations were not performed. The following files were not imported because they could not be read." Doesn't matter what camera I am using. I can open, convert and import the photos with Bridge. I have the Destination dropdown menu set to "All folders." I am using a Mac.
Can someone help?

I too am having this issue. I bring them in from the card and all is well under bridge or PS. When they come into LR I get some windows that say (library/import) say that some images can not be displayed. Then I import. It bring all the images in, even the one that it said it can't read. Then in the end it reports back that XXX number of images could not be read.
However, after clicking OK, they are in the library. When it goes to render the preview that were it all goes down in flames. Renders turn out pink, yellow, green bands as if the images are corrupt and in short the whole thing looks like your worst nightmare. In review of the image on the drive all is well.
In desperation I down loaded a trial version, loaded it in and wrote over the LR4.4 file on the drive. Launched LR. It read the SN# and we were off and running. I have had this issue on two computers.
Bug?
Best of luck,
Jeff

Importing problems with MP4 files.

A friend of mine wanted me to make a DVD with some media files that they sent me (all with .mp4 extentions). I've just purchased CS6 Premuin Pro so I thought I'd try ENCORE to do it with (previously I've been using DVDStyler). However I had problems with importing the mp4 files they sent. Some of the files import OK, but with others I get this error:
Couldn't import file FILENAME, Quicktime and/or the appropriate codec do not appear to be installed.
Now I did have Quicktime Alternative, along with the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack installed. Did a bit of searching and found advice to remove the K-Lite pack and Quicktime Alternative, and update with Quicktime and another set of Codecs (I've installed the Windows 7 codec pack v4.06, as I'm using Win7). However, I'm still getting the same error message when I try and import some of the files. I don't know their origin or what created them as such. However, I did download a copy of MediaInfo and got the following for each type of file.

Just what is the problem here? Why will the first type of file import OK, but the second not, and what can be done about that (do I need to load an extra codec, and if so what)? The odd thing is that using a program like DVDStyler, I can load those files and actually build a DVD. And yes, I know that's an entirely different program, but it just seems odd to me that an open-source program seems to do something Encore can't (and I'd much rather use Encore to build DVDs). No doubt this is something obvious but I'm a novice with Encore and Premiere, so I'm missing it anyway.

Codec packs, even the "better" ones, do not typically provide codecs that Premiere and Encore can use.
The "problem" file is a flash format (whether it is an mp4 container or not).
"Consumer" type DVD authoring/burning applications, and even more so, all in one apps like windows movie maker etc, may be more "powerful" when you are trying to take a large range of formats and create a DVD with relatively few options. This is not Encore's strength.
Encore will reject almost anything that has flaws it isn't able to handle, but more importantly (once you get to this step), it will treat as noncompliant (and re-transcode) anything that is not DVD compliant.

ASCII import problem with symbol 0xFF

When I'm importing ASCII file which contain the special symbols like 0xFF it's recognized as fields separator. The impcat is incorrect structure. I need this symbol because it is cyrillic character which appears in contact names very often. How may I import contacts with correct names.

Jean,
This appears to be a bug in the way the export program runs on 9.2. It seems to be a problem only in the API call that you showed us: wwv_flow_api.create_report_columns and its p_pk_col_source=> value. This can get corrupted when you have a tabular form column that uses a Primary Key Source Type of Custom PL/SQL Function or Existing Sequence, which is a choice you make in the builder wizards or later on the report column edit page in the Tabular Form Element region.
If you can find all of these situations (using the builder) by looking at the report columns for reports related to the new 1.6 features that you mentioned, then change them all to use an existing trigger instead (create a dummy trigger T_DUMMY first), you might be able to get an uncorrupted export file. The next step, which is an unofficial workaround, is to find those API calls in the export file, looking for p_pk_col_source_type=> 'T',
p_pk_col_source=> 'T_DUMMY',Then change the 'T' to 'S' and the trigger name to the correct sequence for the column involved and that should do it. If you need to enter a PL/SQL function, change 'T' to 'F' and enter the PL/SQL code in place of the trigger name.
We're still investigating this problem, so please let us know if this helps you out in the short term.

HDV import problems with Leopard

I recently 'upgraded' to Leopard, when I try and import HDV (From HV20) to my iMac it has become a green-tinged video. Occasionally it will have flashes of the actual colour, which lead me to believe it may be a problem with the Firewire cable I'm using. So I changed my Firewire and the same thing is happening. It worked perfectly before on Tiger. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks

Yes, upgraded to Leopard and found the same problem going from my Sony A1 to 2.4ghz iMac. iMovie digitises a green & purple solarised picture when importing in HDV, but is fine when importing DV. When I try to import in Final Cut it crashes the program outright. It's obviously a bug, I can't understand why Apple aren't on to this it must be driving everyone nuts and costing pro users a lot of money. C'mon guys, you started getting posts in November 2007 about this, you need to get a fix out pronto! This is not what we move to Apple for!!

Import problems with Canon 1Ds Mk3 raw pictures

Lightroom 2 does not recognize any raw files from my 1Ds Mk3 - says "found no files to import". It does recognize jpg, though. Lightroom acceps raw pictures from my other camera body, the Canon 1 D Mk3.
Any pictures imported from these cameras are upside down in the import preview mode but correct after import. The same goes for my Canon G10 camera as well.This upside down phenomena was not any problem with LR 1 - came with the release of LR2.
Any suggestions out there?

The problems occur only when importing directly from the cameras
Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bits
I'm not trying to be a smart a**, but don't do that! When you d/l from a camera, the OS gets involved in ways that it doesn't when it's seeing merely an external drive, as it does when you use a card reader.
If you have to d/l from the camera, put them into a directory, then disconnect, then Import.

Fundamental importing problems with Canon PowerShot

when i connect my camera, a Canon PowerShot SD300 [digital elph] to my new MacBook Pro and turn the camera on, it opens iPhoto [6.0.6] and asks if i would like to import photos. i click "import," and tell it not to import duplicates. it tells me the count remaining and says its importing. i can wait any length of time and the number never goes down.
it has sort of successfully imported photos in the past [hence the 'do not import previous' above], but it seems to skip some photos and also downloads the same movies [avi's] each time.
is this bizarre behavior common? thanks for any help!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) iPhoto 6.0.6 (322)

Dan,
There is a problem with iPhoto 6 not respecting the "do not import duplicates" when importing directly from cameras. It obeys better when importing from a folder already on your hard drive.
iPhoto can also balk at longer video clips. I can import shorter clips (under 1 minute) directly into iPhoto, but have had iPhoto crash with long (3 minutes or more) clips.
Here's how I import from my Canon. I place the card in a USB card reader. This mounts on the Desktop as an external drive. [Many cameras do this, but most Canon models do not.] When I plug the card reader into my USB hub, I ignore iPhoto's "ready to import" dialog. Instead, I do File > Import to Library. I navigate to my camera card on the desktop, where I can preview the photos and select only the ones I need to import. I import all the pictures first. When they are in my library, I go back and select the video clips, one at a time. It can take a few minutes to import one, and there is no progress indicator, so I have to wait patiently.
If iPhoto crashes on the video clips, I open Image Capture, choose "Download Some" and select one clip at a time to upload to my Desktop. Given enough time, the clips will import successfully. Once on the Desktop, iPhoto has not had any trouble importing them.
If you don't have a card reader, you can use Image Capture to import all the files from your camera. Upload to a folder on your Desktop, then import that folder to iPhoto and delete it when done. In Image Capture's Preferences is the setting for what happens when you connect your camera or card reader. You can leave it set to iPhoto, change it to Image Capture, or set it to Nothing.
If you have had to cancel an import, then there may be an extra folder inside your iPhoto Library folder. In the Finder look just inside Pictures/ iPhoto Library and see if there is a folder called "Import" (or "Importing"). If there is, drag it out to your Desktop and see if it contains photos that you need for your library. Make no other changes inside the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder, as changes made this way can damage your library. If there is no Import folder, then you are in good shape.
Regards.

Traport importing problem with repeating return code error 8

Hi all,
We are facing some transport import problem.When we sent transport initially AAA900244,they faced with return code error 8 and syntax error 109.As the information provided by the client,one of the include program which is not availble at client system that was included in this transport.So that was the problem.Again we have taken new tranport AAA900247 without this include program then same type of error message they faced with return code error 8 and syntax error 109 in the include program when imported.
I have one doubt, when importing new transport this should overwrite the earlier transport data.Why the same type error client is getting.What might be the reason.
Is earlier transport imported?? Why it throwing same type error.What actually the fuctionality of Return code 8 whether it is imported or discarded.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.....Balu

Hi Ramesh,
That include is not at all required at client system.So next time when we have taken transport we have not included this include program.They imported new transport without this include program.But they are facing same error as they faced first time. What could be reason??
Regards...Balu

Import problem with DMP file

Hi all
I am using oracle 9i and I have problem in import problem.........
when i try to import the DMP file it gives me the error,
IMP-000200: long column Too larege for column buffer size <22>
can any body please tell me how to get out of this error....
actually I have a table in export file that has round about 2 lac rows....
The problem occurs on that table.
Any help will be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Regards
Shayan
[email protected]

The correct error code is IMP-00020 not 200
What's your current buffer set to when imp?
IMP-00020: long column too large for column buffer size (number)
Cause: The column buffer is too small. This usually occurs when importing LONG data.
Action: Increase the insert buffer size 10,000 bytes at a time (for example). Use this step-by-step approach because a buffer size that is too large may cause a similar problem.
As adviced, increase 10000 and try again.

Can I download an older version of FCPX to mitigate the import problems with my HVX200?

I found an answer on the board that explains that there is a problem with the latest version of FCPX and certain HVX200 P2 files. I was wondering if there is a way to revert to the previous version of the app that seemed to work

You can not download older version of FCPX

ICal 3.x .ics import - problem with recurring events and non-unique UIDs

Upgraded to Leopard over the holiday break. Under Tiger's iCal (v2.x), .ics files exported from other calendar programs (Outlook via iAppoint/O2M in this case) and imported into iCal behaved 'normally'. However, in iCal 3.x in Leopard, for recurring appointments in the exported calendar, only the last appointment in the series shows up in iCal (although some meetings show up for about 0.25 seconds during the calendar import, then immediately disappear! This post by MalcolmS provided the critical clue - it seems that for recurring events, the .ics file has all of the events in the series with the same UID. Previous versions of iCal didn't care, but v3 apparently does - and deletes all earlier versions of the event, leaving only the last one with that UID. I confirmed that is the case by opening the .ics file in Word, which clearly showed all of the recurring events, and all the events in a series (e.g. a weekly meeting for the year) had the same UID. After the import to iCal, only the last one is in the calendar (in the above example, the one meeting of the series occurring in the last week of December). Manually editing the UIDs of a recurring series in the .ics file (to make them actually unique) allows them to all show up in iCal after import.
Since many of the events in my Outlook calendar are accepted invites for recurring appointments, re-creating them as individual calendar events in Outlook is not a viable option. The frequency of changes to my calendar means I usually export it once per day (or twice); thus, manually editing the .ics files is also not a viable option.
Any suggestions on workarounds for this problem? Alternatively, any other suggestions for getting the calendar data from Outlook into iCal?
Thanks in advance!

Vector Import Problem with CS5

Hi everyone,
I really need help with this problem as it's driving me round the bend! I've searched the forums for answers but even though i've seen a few people with similar issues, i still haven't found any answers?
Here's my problem.
I'm using illustrator and photoshop CS5 to create web site designs and all of a sudden (i don't remember changing any settings) whenever i copy and paste a vector image from AI to PS the image always renders jagged? The page sizes are always over 1280 x 800px so this isn't a case of small images pixelating. Both resolution settings for AI and PS are high (300 ppi) so i can't work out why this has started happening.
I've tried everything to overcome this (placing the files, importing files etc) but the result is always the same, a horrible crappy jagged edge?????
Any thoughts?
N
By the way i'm using a MB Pro running OS X 10.6.7

Trash the Photoshop preferences files.
Quit Photoshop.
Go to /Users/[your acount]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings/ and move the "Adobe Photoshop CS5 Prefs.psp file to your desktop
Relaunch Photoshop an try again.
Often unexplained isues can be the result of a corrupt preference file. If this works, you can then simply trash teh file on your desktop.
If this does not work, you might try trashing the AI prefs as well.

Importing Problem with one specific CD

I have previously imported this disc. It is disc 2 of a 2 disc set. I have no problem getting iTunes to recognize the other disc in the set. Now after clearing all previous info and files related to this CD I cannot get iTunes to import it. The iTunes program itself frezes whenever I insert this disc. The rest of my programs are not affected.
I have tried all of the obvious possibilties contained in the iTunes help file as well as the possible settings changes that affect importing CD's.
The program stays frozen until I restart my computer.
I am storing my music files in an external drive. That has presented no problem for this specific disc on a previous import and has not caused any trouble for the other disc copied. However once this freeze occurs and I restart my computer the primary library settings are changed from external drive storage back to the C drive storage.
Weird huh?? Anyone have a similar experience??

I have been able to play the CD in all the other players around the house including the media player in my older computer(ME / OS.) The OS CD player in the computer I use for my iTunes library recognizes the disk as well. iTunes previously imported this disk at least twice. I removed those copies and re-entered the disk a third time. The reason for the multiple entries was info mistakes and a few glitches learning how to set up the external storage.
There is nothing wrong with the disk, it is not a burned disk and has not been exposed to anything that would alter the info on it.
The problem is iTunes software related, perhaps the previous files are still lurking somewhere that I'm unable to access and this prevents the disk from being copied yet again.
