Importing to a folder

When importing a video iMovie only specifies disks and not folders. Is it possible to specify a sepecific folder I would like the files to be saved to?
Yes and no. Yes you can specify a specific folder but only if that folder is located in specific locations or you create the folder from within iMovie '08 which then places the folder in the required location for that drive.
1) You are given the option of creating (naming) a new "event" folder or selecting an old "event" folder each time you import clips into iMovie '08. These folders must be in fixed locations because iMovie '08 scans them each time the application is opened for a work session.
2) "Event" folders must be located in a folder named "iMovie Events" which is must be located at the "root" level of non-startup drives or in the account user's "Movie" folder on the startup drive.
3) Empty "event" folders can be created at these locations at the finder level or a user can drag folders containing video clips to these locations to manually "create" a new "pseudo-event" folder the next time iMovie '08 is opened. I do not, however, recommend novice users do this because:
a) video files tend to be quite large and it can take hours to thumbnail tens of GBs of data all at once.
b) iMovie '08 maintains/uses "absolute" addressing pointers internally and user manipulations at the finder level by a novice can orphan files.
c) iMovie may or may not error trap the file types before attempting to thumbnail them and if it encounters an incompatible file may or may not cause corruption of the thumbnail files and/or application or produce other problem results like mismatched reference pointers.

Importing to iTunes folder doesn't seem to work.

I don't know if this is a vista/itunes bug, but here I go:
I have a music library of about 60 gigs or so. When I try and import the songs WITHOUT moving the songs to iTunes directory, it works like a charm. However, if I check the box to move the imported songs TO the itunes folder, I only get a fraction of the music in my library. I would like for iTunes to import everything to the itunes directory.
Can I do this: Manually copy the music to the iTunes folder and then somehow import the itunes folder? (does that even make sense?)
Thanks in advance

Which files? Music or Photos? Do any songs in iTunes have an exclamation mark next to them? Other files as well? Do you remember what error messages that you were getting? Those error codes could be helpful.

Can't drag photos from previous import to a folder in lightroom

after uploading photos into lightroom, I can't drag them from 'previous import' to another folder in Lightroom. Anyone else experience this?

Importing a contact folder from external hard drive onto new iphone

It is kind of a long story...my mom was updating iphone on computer when computer crashed. iphone crashed. had friend move all info from crashed computer onto external hard drive. got new iphone.
so, she no longer has a computer and we have to share mine. she has her own itunes on an external drive and i have my own itunes on another hard drive. i got almost everything except the contacts moved back on her phone. i see the folder and contacts in a 'contact' folder on the external hard drive, but how do I move that to the new iphone without it being in outlook/google/yahoo. i tried 'adding folder' to the library containing the contacts, but that didn't work.
any suggestions? thanks!!!

thanks for the advise about the two users. so, i did that. but, now cannot seem to import the contact folder into the Address Book. the files in the 'contact'-hard drive are called CONTACT files (.contact). i don't know what that means. can i open those in the address book?

Error importing CD (required folder cannot be found)

iTunes 10.6, running on a Mac Mini with OSX 10.6.8
Hi all,
A bit of backstory. Been using iTunes to manage my music collection for over 8 years. At one point, I moved my music off of a primary disk to an external disk, although perhaps oddly set up, in that the 'iTunes Music Library.xml' file was still local (under ~User/Music), and just the music files were external (under /Volumes/Media/Music). When the iTunes Media directory structure upgrade happened, the only way I could access my music was to put a soft link from the Music folder to my external drive.
For awhile now, I've been in a state where for the most part, I can listen to all of my music, but when I try to import a CD, I get the 'required folder cannot be found' error.
Help! Do I have to rebuild my file somehow? Edit the xml file directly?
Thanks so much.
I'm happy to provide more information, such as the xml file, directory listings, etc.. I'm just not sure what's helpful.

I have the same problem. I recently moved my music from a Vista PC to a new Laptop with an external CD drive. It will copy one song from the CD and it will show in the Music file and then I get the message ' Error importing a CD - Folder not found'. I must unplug the CD drive and plug it back in. I have seen no fix for this problem.

I am unable to import my favorites folder from an old harddrive onto the new harddrive

I recently changed hard drives moving to a larger hard drive. Before doing so, I exported my favorites from Firefox and they were saved on a folder called FAVORITES on a portable hard drive. Now when I try to import these favorites I am unable to import the whole folder at once because Firefox seems to be looking for HTML files not a folder to import. When I drill down into the subfolders of the FAVORITES I had saved, there are files there titles INTERNET SHORTCUTS which appear to be the actual old bookmarks. Please help.

Did you use one of these to export the Firefox bookmarks?
* Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Backup
* Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
Sounds that you are referring to the IE Favorites and in that case you need to use IE to get access to those favorites by copying them to the IE Favorites folder and exporting them to an HTML file.

I Have Elements13 and Apple Yosemite: When I open the organizer, import and select folder it locks up.

I am using PS Elements 13 with Apple Yosemite. When I open the Organizer, import and select folder, it locks up.

I Did what you said. But when I click on Folders and try to open a sub folder it still locks up. All of the media I have opened is not divided into folder. Is there any way to remove all of them and start over? I have been using Bridge with PSE13 and it work great. With Organizer I get missing files. My organizer PSE12 works ok on my laptop.

Import Scenarios - Keep folder structure

When I import a scenario folder the scenarios get inserted into the root of the Scenario pane and lose the folder they where in - Is this normal behaviour ? Is there a way to keep the folder structure?
Its a royal PITA to drag and drop again as im working with a work repos over a WAN and its slow.
Cheers
Alastair

I agree that its a pita and it is the only behavior. With several developers working in parallel, we have this problem all the times. A few people wont approve touching the Work repository directly but I would suggest creating a procedure to update the Work repository to update the parent id of the scenarios that dont have any parent id set. This can be done after you import all the scenarios and they stick on the root level.

I have a large external collection and would like to import a select folder to itunes to create a playlist. Is there a way to import the folder without mixing the contents with my large itunes library?
I'm trying to avoid having to fish through the thousands of songs already in my itunes library to create a playlist from the songs in the windows file that I've already selected.

You're welcome.

How to export/import a single folder of bookmarks

I want to export and import a single folder; or more correctly, backup / copy-transfer; one single folder at a time - but regardless how I attempt to do so, ALL bookmarks are transferred and I then have to go through several hundred to elmininate the duplicates. Please advise if it is even possible to save/backup then restore a single folder at a time. Thank You.

You can copy and paste that folder or selected bookmark to the clipboard and paste them in a text file.
You can also use another profile with no bookmarks and copy an paste that folder to the other profile and export them from that profile.<br />
Both profiles need to be open at the same time by starting the second profile with the -no-remote switch because current Firefox versions clear the clipboard if you close Firefox.<br />
Copy and Paste selected bookmarks from one profile to the other profile in the Bookmarks Manager (Library).

Import photos-choose folder then Lightroom freezes

Everything was working fine until I decided to upgrade to 1.3.1. Did so and then when I wanted to (during import) choose a folder for my import the program freezes. I uninstalled to 1.3. Still same problem. Then I uninstalled everything with Lightroom (even regedit) so I had to rewrite my serialnumber during install - still the same problem. What has happened?

Thanks for the input. I think though that the problem was the following: I had started a backup of catalog thing. It might be so that it wasn´t ready (even if I thought so) before I started to upgrade to 1.3.1. So the upgrade messed around with something. Now it works, but I had to change several times in the Import Photos "screen". Change between the different possibilities and different files to import. (Chant some old shaman songs not to mention to recite the Kirchoff´s Laws was something that I did in the end - I think that actually did the trick).
But it could of course be something completely different.

Importing into public folder on Exchange 2013

Outlook 2013 Pro
Exchange 2013 SP1
I created the public folders and granted publisher rights to the outlook client. I exported a list of contacts to contact.pst from another account. In the exchange account, I import, point to the contact.pst and say place in same folder (public). Nothing
is imported.
If I expand contact.pst tree and select the contact folder (e.g. vendors), I get error ... Item cannot be created in the root of public folders.
How do I import into public folder?
John Lenz

Outlook 2013 Pro
Outlook doesn't support importing into a public folder.
You would either need to open the PST file in Outlook and then copy/move the contact items in the PST file to the applicable public folder.
Alternatively, if this is something that you're going to do on an on-going basis - any of the ContactGenie Import/Export programs may be of interest

Importing CD / adding folder goes to wrong folder

iTunes 9.0.1.8
Under preferences my iTunes media folder is set to "C:\iTunes" and up until recently all imported CD's and files went into that folder under the relevant artist name.
Now, however, when importing they go to a new folder called "C:\iTunes\Music" - I didn't create this folder - how do i stop this and get it back to my original preference?
Any help appreciated
Regards
Ian

Same problem, installed latest iTunes yesterday to Vista.
Import folder is defined as default iTunes-folder (C:\<user>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library) but it still creates a folder "Music" under this and then <artist>\<record> under this one. If I modify the default folder, it creates the import under that one, but not ever into correct iTunes Library-folder.
What gives?

CD imported to wrong folder organization Album/Artist instead of Artist/Alb

I imported (ripped) a CD and the folder convention iTunes created in my music library was like this:
AlbumName/ArtistName
instead of
ArtistName/AlbumName
How could this happen. I have ripped hundreds of CD's and this is the first time it has happened. I am letting iTuned organize my files.
Any clues?
Thanks!

Actually I know exactlty what bae77345 is referring to, because I am running into the same problem. Thus my search in the forums.
Usually Ive had no problem in importing a song into iTunes, and changing the song IN iTunes to read as follows.
Name of Song: DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`
Artist: Anime
Album : Eureka seveN OST 1
Album artist: FLOW
And the Windown path would look like this
C:\Documents and Settings\Varxtis\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Anime\Eureka seveN OST 1\1-01 DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`.mp3
Notice It goes Artist>Album>Song Title
Album Artist would not even be part of the path, which is exactly what I want.
but now it shows
C:\Documents and Settings\Varxtis\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\FLOW\Eureka seveN OST 1\1-01 DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`.mp3
Which goes AlbumArtist>Album>Song Title. it doesn't even include the artist as part of the path. How annoying.
It makes a HUGE difference to me because I need everything in "iTunes Music" library in windows to be pathed as Artist>Album: Song Title. I use a different MP3 Player so, it's almost impossible to have half one way (those that have albumartist) and half another (those that don't) BTW, Sorry apple. . .no Offense. I've had and loved an iPod. . . but it died and I got this as a gift.
I never changed any settings, and quite honestly it's been about a month since I had to update my MP3 player music (thus noticing the problem). So, there HAS to be a reason for it to change. And more importantly, a way to change it back.

LR5 Importing to wrong folder

I have been importing to folders on drive I. It is now full. I am trying to import to drive H which has plenty of room. Every time I try to import to H LR tells me that drive I is full, which of course I already bloody well know. So I am unable to import at this point because LR only wants to go to my full folder. Help please. I do have full permissions on the I drive

The message in the screenshot says your catalog drive is out of space, not your import-photos-to-drive is out of space. How big is your catalog?
I’ve had LR complain about my catalog drive being out of space during a backup operation when the problem was my boot drive which contains my Users folder that LR temporarily puts a copy of my catalog when it is checking for integrity. Even though this drive is never referred to in the error message. I was unable to make backups until I cleared about 2.5 times the size of my catalog’s space from my boot drive, even though my catalog and backups are on my P drive and C was never referred to in any error message.
The one strange thing in the message is that it says you need at least 20MB free, which you have 7GB free.
The “forever bug” referred to is where the number of bits being used to represent free space can be too small and so only the remainder after dividing by 2GB is what is seen. For 7.2 GB this remainder would be 1.2GB. If this bug is in effect and LR thinks you only have 1.2GB free on whatever drive it is checking so maybe your catalog is large enough that catalog-size times whatever multiplier of your catalog size LR thinks it needs in reserve is larger than 1.2GB.

Importing Safari bookmark folder to Leopard

Hi, i just got a new mpb, and i used to use Tiger on my old one. I am trying to import my bookmark file which was located in Library in the OS to the new Leopard location: Library>Caches>Metadata>Safari. I copy and pasted from Tiger to Leopard, but the bookmark bar and bookmarked pages have not changed in Safari. Am I doing this right? thanks.

There is no way to keep a folder in the right-hand window from opening when you drop a bookmark into it.
In placing a folder or bookmark between to folders, keep the cursor tight to the left-hand border of the window. When you are between two folders, you will see a line appear and you can then drop the bookmark or folder. If you don't keep the cursor al the way to the left, Safari assumes you want to drop the bookmark or folder in another folder.
